He paid his workers much higher wages than competitors and insisted on car designs that were functional, cheap, and easy to repair so that the American Everyman could own and effectively maintain an automobile. Those are a few basics but his goodness as a man goes further than that if you look into him.

>Wuthering Heights
Hareton & the younger Catherine are fine people. (They got lucky & inherited mostly the good parts from each parent.) Of course we don't see this at first. They're like animals which have been abused; they start out snapping at everything around them. But their goodness emerges in time.

> (excluding Heathcliff)
Heathcliff has good and bad qualities. If you think he's wonderful you're committing exactly the same mistake as Isabella Linton.

I loved her. At first she's very annoying but every scene with her is so funny.
Jannice and the Paulie-Chrissy duo. So good

When jannice finally learned how to be a better person Tony couldn't handle his sister being more happy and content than he is so he provoked her. Tony was the piece of shit
