<p>Intro: Individuals, governments, and groups of people struggle for only what they value. In other words, one would not take pains for something useless to one self. The American Revolution and "Great Expectations" are great examples that support the claim that one values only what one struggles for.
Body 1: First and foremost, the American Revolution, which was a time when colonists struggled for true freedom, clearly demonstrates that one values what one works hard for. During the Revolution, authors like Thomas Paine took many pains and made many efforts to support the American's cause. From creating pamphlets to speaking boldly about England, Thomas Paine struggled for America. However, Paine did so becuase he desired true freedom and justice. Moreover, he wanted true democracy in the Western Hemisphere.
Body 2: In addition to Thomas Paine, the Founding Fathers struggled for the American cause to achieve righteousness for human civilization. Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and George Washington did not rebel and act audaciously against their mother country-England-for nothing. However, they rebelled because they valued equality and democracy. Obviously, they struggled for the human race, wishing to eradicate at least a part of human evil: oppression.
Body 3: As important as the American Revolution is in supporting this point of view, the literary work of Charles Dickens, "Great Expectations", is just as important. Pip, a young crude boy who desired to become a gentleman, worked with resolve to raise his qualities and class. He so desired to become educated, genteel, and sophisticated, for he despised being ignored by people. Pip, clearly, is an example of a boy struggling to achieve something precious to him-becoming a gentleman.
Conclusion: Ultimately, one can only value what one struggles for. During the analysis of the American Revolution and America's colonists and "Great Expectations", one can, indeed, derive the conclusion that one values what one works hard for. A man reaps what he sows and similarly, this is the sole reason that one values what one sows, or struggles for.</p>
