Alex Standall Character Analysis
Alex Standall

When we first met Alex standall he is a new kind along with Hannah Baker and Jessica Davis. They all bond over coming to a new town, switching schools and seeing each other at Monet’s, a little cafe. At Monet's all three become tentative friends with a code word olly-olly-oxen-free which means someone had an exhausting day. Alex is sneaky and cruel because not only does he ruin his friendship with Hannah by placing her name on a “Who's Hot/Who's Not” list, he also causes Jessica Davis to hate Hannah because she was opposite of Hannah's name on the list in the “Whos Not” column, and the his list also reinforces Hannah's bad reputation which leads to her getting sexually harassed later in the story.

    Feeling sorry for someone, but not agreeing with them. As humans we have all felt this feeling at least once in our lifetime. In the book The Awakening, by “Kate Chopin” Kate Chopin sympathizes with the main character Edna but doesn’t pity her. I agree with Kate, because even though she’s married with Leonce a man that she doesn't love and has children with him, she is still free not attached to him at all. Another reason I agree with Kate is that she doesn’t pity Edna. She spends time and loves Robert rather than loving her own husband.…

    The state of humanity is a debatable topic, as it constantly has its ups and downs. For example, while humanity is moving forward in areas such as knowledge and technology, there are still many displays of ignorance and stupidity that make people wonder if progress is being made at all. Lorraine Hansberry, the praised playwright behind A Raisin in the Sun and The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window, has experienced both the good and bad aspects of humanity and expresses it through her work. Although the majority of the characters and plot of A Raisin in the Sun suggest that humanity is repetitive, Hansberry uses some of her other characters,…

    I have read two-thirds of, It's Kind of a Funny Story. I was supposed to stop at half way, but it is so good that I lost track of time. Craig Gilner is such an intense character with many difficulties trying to manage his stressful life. He has support from numerous people, including his family and his friends. One goal Craig is approaching, is to be a better Craig. Checking himself into the hospital for having suicidal tendencies was already a big step in trying to reach this goal. That shows how much he wants to change, when things could have very easily went a different way. The actions that Craig took that night when he called the suicide hot line demonstrates the kind of person he wants to be. Craig realizes that he needs to get better, which makes me think his motivation for completing this goal is fantasizing about how great his life is going to be when he…

    “Harrison Bergeron” by Kurt Vonnegut is about a fictional time in the future where everyone is forced to wear handicapping devices to ensure that everyone is equal. As the story begins, George and Hazel Bergeron are sitting on the couch watching television. George is intellectually superior so every few seconds a raucous noise is played in his ear to keep him from being able to hold a consistent thought, which happens continuously throughout the story. This system of “handicappers” is overseen by a rather unsympathetic woman named Diana Moon Glampers. As George and Hazel are watching a ballet on the T.V., the show is interrupted by a bulletin warning viewers that Harrison Bergeron, George and Hazel 's son, has just escaped from jail. Harrison is described as very dangerous, as well as very intelligent and strong, and “under-handicapped” despite the fact that he is fitted with a wide variety of contraptions meant to diminish his ability. This bulletin is interrupted by the appearance of Harrison himself who rushes onstage and removes his “handicappers,” while exclaiming his superiority. He challenges a ballerina to remove hers as well and, after convincing the band to play to the best of their ability, they launch into a superb display of dancing, leaping higher and higher until they touch the ceiling and kiss. At this point the “Handicapper General,” Diana Moon Glampers, rushes in with a shotgun and shoots them both dead. The story ends as George returns from the kitchen with a beer and finds Hazel crying, though neither can remember any of the events that had just unfolded. Vonnegut shows that efforts to force equality have tragic consequences.…

    Nya deals with many problems. Here are some examples of how she persists through them. Let’s start with the very first chapter. This is where her most important situation is. She has to walk twelve hours a day (basically half a day) to get water for her family. Although the text doesn’t tell us how she got through it, it does give us hints. In the last line on page.1, it says’s “[h]eat. Time. And thorns.” This is like saying that she just accepts it. She just takes the heat and thorns and puts in her time of day to do the work. Since she knows her family needs the water throughout the day to cook, clean, and drink.…
