Would you say that "persistence" would be a synonym for "purposefulness"? If so, a lot of the folktales deal with working toward a goal. The books in which a character is given a task or trial and then has to fulfill the task or trial to get his/her goal. Some books that come to mind are "A Story, A Story," by Gail Haley; "Arrow to the Sun," by McDermott; and many others.

I received a few questions regarding what purposefulness was. Basically, the definition states that one has a goal and stays on track while trying to attain the end result. I was having some difficulty sending this explanation to LM Net so I'm hoping that this works and I will get a few responses.
