Existentialism: The ability to define your experiences and to choose your life's purpose.

1. Justin Bernard-Laberge and Nicolas Boyer

2. The Man without a Heart.

3. Michael is also an existential hero because he could make the way out of his ancient life to become a lawyer. Yet, before he met Lionel, he was too afraid of others he could barely talk to people. Without Lionel's intervention, he would probably ended somewhere else.

4. Naivety / Gullibility : Is to swallow the words of someone without looking for references.

5. Michal is naive because of the way he sees friendship. He believes that the other kids that terrified him will invite him to play with them and become friends with him if he just sits next to them until they talk to him ''He would sit quietly near a bunch of kids, hoping they would notice him and invite him to play.''. I think Michal is very shy and has low self esteem so this is why he has a lot of difficulty making friends.

6. Michal his just like the little ugly duckling. He has a very hard time to make friends but longs to be noted and appreciated.

7. These two are interconnected because both of these two themes wouldn't work without each others. What I mean is if Michael or his mother Andrea were not naives, they would have not met Lionel. Michael was trustful for Lionel so he swallows every words who came out of his mouth. Which were great ! They were perfect for Michael because Lionel was an existential hero so was Michael to Lionel. Who gave him a reason of life. And Lionel lead Michael were the purpose of his life was.

8. Page 111: "Magnificent ! You know what you did, my boy ? You located an existential hero ! You captured Callum in a nutshell. You know Callum in a way that Callum doesn't even know Callum. When you look at people, you know exactly what they are about. People are going to love that about you. Nobody likes to go about the world being anonymous and unknowable. They want to know that they are being seen for who they really are. You are a man of the people. You are going to be a leader, mark my words."

9. Robin Williams is such a great existential hero. Even if he murdered himself, he still wanted to make people laugh instead of crying. Because he knew how hard it could be to feel this way. His quotes exactly defines that.https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/8d/0b/7a/8d0b7a587e567c7d6fac8dddd3e2aa7d.jpg

10. Lionel is in some point an existential hero. He decided at the point of his life where he could no longer go back, to at least make a difference in someone's life. In this particular case, Michael's future. Lionel took his bad experiences in life and gave them back to Michael so he wouldn't make them.

11. Andrea is naive because she dosen' t seem to seek respect from the guys she dates. She always says yes when someone asks her out and usually stays with this person until he ends the relationship, even if he treats her with lack of respect.''She went out with just about anybody who asked her.''. They beat her, steal the food she makes for Michal and her and mistreat Michal ''And these guys all ended up leaving Andrea at the drop of a hat.''. I think Andrea has very low self esteem and this is why she dates anyone who shows interest in her.

12. Andrea his just like the little red riding hood. She believes everything the bad wolf tells her, never doubting someone could have bad intentions toward her.

13. Page 111: "Yes sir, I am a lucky man to have found you, my little buddy. I never knew what the point of me was, you know that ? Until you came into my path." Lionel found the purpose of his life within Michael. Thereby he decided to focus on this little guy than try to fix his own life.

14. Brienne de Torth is a Game of Thrones character who took her experiences of life to dedicate the rest of her life to protect the Stark family. As she wasn't able to protect Catelyn Stark, she tried everything to find Sansa Stark and protect her. http://www.dafont.com/forum/attach/orig/1/3/134895.jpg
