On the story “so I ain’t no good girl” by Sharon Flake, the main character is a young black female that attends high school. She is one of the main protagonists of the story. This character is either hated or loved by certain audiences due to her actions or background information. I will discuss about this character later in the story and our thesis is “did the author, Sharon, explain the characteristics of the protagonist?”…

The characters are the main section of any type of story, play or movie. The characters grow. They give the story a meaning. The Wizard of Oz gives amazing examples in both the play and the story to how the characters should grow and to fulfill the meaning. The play helps you understand how the characters are feeling more than the story because you can see the characters facial expression and emotions, while in the story you are described the emotions and expressions in words.…
The Princess Bride is a compelling novel that retains your interest by telling enthralling tales of revenge, love, despair, and hate. It includes most of the typical stereotypes that is found in your average fairytale, but it is far from your average classic fairytale with its ever-present plot twists. Each character has a downfall, and none of them are completely valiant and selfless. Each character has a captivating motive behind their actions. A typical hero is not included in the story despite the many heroic actions that are fulfilled throughout the story.…
The main characters in the short story go through characterization by their reactions to the other main characters as well as their environment itself shaping them and changing them.…
TITLE (HOOK)GIVING UP Short stories are put together in a way that the reader can find meaning on what is being unsaid more then what is being said, allowing the reader to read in between the lines and think critically. Short stories compared to novels have less content, therefore making it more difficult to find the meaning, but with the use of elements of fiction one can effectively grasp as much information as possible. One common theme for “Tall Tales from the Mekong Delta” by Kate Braverman and “Aurora” by Junot Diaz” is destructive relationships and drug influence. The authors of Tall Tales and Aurora use characterization and figurative language to interconnect the thought that when undesirable temptations are displayed to human kind, it can lead to bad decisions and no self-control of the inner self that ultimately lead to physical/verbal abuse and drug use. Characterization is a fundamental piece of a story, allowing the readers to create their own perspective and interpretation of the character.…
The character in a story is the main foundation in any story, essay, or any other form of writing. These characters not only give the writing a purpose, but present the irony, symbols, and conflicts in the stories. Without the main character there would not be any sort of writing. The main character may also be dynamic, which means the change as the story goes on, or they may be flat, which meants that they don’t change. From the many stories we read in our class, I fell in love with the character Rochelle, from the story “The Bride” by author Christine Granados.…
History is a tough subject for some Native Americans to talk about today because of all of the traumatic experiences their ancestors suffered through. Every person has a different way of dealing with traumatic experiences, and so do cultures. People that share similar characteristics come together to form a culture. These culture characteristics can be shown through how Native Americans react to traumatic experiences and situations. In The Round House by Louise Erdrich, Geraldine’s character’s reactions to traumatic experiences reflect Native American culture.…
The most troublesome part of growing up is letting go of the person you previously were. In Daphne DuMaurier’s novel Rebecca we follow the narrator in her discoveries of growing up. The narrator opens with “Last night I dreamt I went to Manderly.” Expressing this proposes the idea that the narrator has the feeling of nostalgia for Manderly and some dramatic events formed her into the women she is today. The narrator initially faced being consumed by the remnants of Rebecca that reside at Manderly.…
The book I read was “Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry” the book’s timeline was in the early in 1933 when segregation was still around. The place the book was set in was Louisiana in a town where there were only white people and they had their own all-black school where they got all the old books and the white kids got all the new books and we're very privileged with anything and everything. There was no one main character there were a few main characters. The main characters would, in my opinion, were the entire Logan family.…
I choose to draw this scene because I wanted to show how removed and shy Margot was. I drew the children looking out the window longing to see the sun, and I drew Margot also wanting to see the sun but farther away from the group kids. Near Margot I made the colors dim and less vibrant because I wanted to show how gloomy her mood is. The closer to the window I got the more color I put; I did this to foreshadow the sun that was to come. I drew the child's face who puts Margot in the closet angry and looking at her so you could see how mad he was that there was no sun yet.…

Irene spends a great deal of time in Passing struggling with her opinion of Clare. While she makes Clare out to be a horrid person who disregards other’s feelings, Irene continually interacts with her. This double standard also appears in Irene’s view of passing. Even though she condemns Clare for taking part in passing, Irene, herself, will occasionally take part in the act of passing. Irene dislikes for passing can be explained by her struggle with her identity, and this struggle with her identity makes Irene into an unreliable narrator because all of Irene’s actions are based on how she believes she should act, and her opinion on how she identifies conflicts with how she presents herself and other characters.…
