    3.I like the main characters of my novel because all the main characters are the ones who went to the Carving (Mountains) to escape the society and find the rebellion group.I also like how Cassia and Ky take the risk of going out to the Carving knowing that they might be dead or their safe somewhere I can find each other at.They would be my friends because they are very adventurous and they take risks and don't leave their friends behind.When Cassia thinks about leaving the camp she makes up her mind quick because she wants to find Ky but if she thinks long about it she might want to go back to the society.’’If I'm going to run to find Ky,it has to be soon’’, Says Cassia as she thinks about leaving the camp. ‘’Am I going to run?

    Character Analysis: Cyrano De Bergerac

    Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably." The tenor of this quote relates to the behavior of a character who posses compassion, despite the hardships he or she may face. The play Cyrano de Bergerac, written by Edmond Rostand, relates to Eleanor Roosevelt's quote dealing with characters whom act modest in the hardest times. Cyrano, Edmond Rostand's main character, acquires this modest trait. Cyrano loves a beautiful woman named Roxane, which is the purest love one could have.…

    How Does Romulus My Father Relate To Belonging

    His emphasis on family relationships is unique as he remains loyal regardless of people’s damaging behaviour. This is conveyed through the betrayal of Christina and Mitru. Despite this disloyalty, Romulus persists in interacting with them, suggesting that such interaction is beneficial to his belonging. Further evidence of Romulus’ individuality is depicted by his rigid occupation with standards, such as his need to be totally honest and his high standards of craftsman’s ship. Over the years Romulus ironically stood out to position himself as a respected member of the community. Furthermore, Bradbury explores the notion of belonging achieved without human interaction Romulus’ ability to connect with nature. Romulus’ ability to anchor his identity to a physical place suggests that human interactions are indeed not essential in establishing a sense of…

    East Of Eden Character Analysis

    “We have only one story. All novels, all poetry, are built on the never-ending contest in ourselves of good and evil” (Steinbeck 11) and East of Eden is one of the stories, surrounded by good and evil. East of Eden is filled with religious references, and deeply tied to old testament stories, specifically the garden of Eden, and Cain and Abel. These stories shape the characters in the novel, adding depth to their actions and characteristics, and furthering the plot of the novel, by the multiple generations and continuance of each biblical story. The theme of good and evil in East of Eden is in every aspect of the novel, but primarily in characterization. Many of these characters also carry a religious significance, specifically to Old Testament stories, and…

    Sense of Belonging in Romulus My Father and The Catcher in the Rye

    One way the need for belonging is portrayed in Romulus, My Father is through the theme of isolation. The Gaitas each faced their own fears of being unable to belong, but none so as much as Christina who is shown to die of the loneliness of being unable to fit in. “He found her just staring into the fire” describes Raimond, illustrating how desperate his mother had been. As a result she is characterized as ‘appearing to be cheerful and vivacious’ but in truth is ‘deeply depressed.’ Christina is an allusion of the displaced socialite hungry for a sense of fulfilment and security, a superficial belonging. The fact that she is unable to attain this sense of belonging, no matter how superficial, she would prefer to ‘fall asleep and die” rather than feel alone. It was through her decisions to not stay loyal to her husband and not care for Raimond that her connection to them began to fade away. She feels geographically and culturally displaced, as a result she never settles into Frogmore. This demonstrates the need for belonging to live a fulfilling life. As she drifts from their family connection the…

    Theme Of Alienation In Fahrenheit 451

    One of the reasons Clarisse is alienated from society is because of her incredible curiosity of the world other than technology and likes of people gripped by the dystopian society. Clarisse didn’t conform to society’s norms; she let her imagination run free. For example, when she could be inside letting technology rule her life, she is outside playing freely, “The rain was thinning away and the girl was walking in the center of the sidewalk with her head up and the few drops falling…

    Narrative Rough Draft

    I never used to write. In fact, I didn’t much like it. Little did I know that writing would become obsolete and a physiological requirement for the well being of my life. From an early age on all I did was read. I grew up in an isolated environment where books were my escape, and escape was necessary from the hardships of home. I remember being a young seven-year-old boy wearing a pillowcase around my neck fastened with a pen. I was eating animal crackers at the time, and my step dad was calling out for me. I stood up from my crouched position and raised my hand as I learned from pre-school, and said, “ I’m here daddy.” At that moment my step father grabbed me by the cape harshly compressing my trachea purposefully, shaking me back and forth with his hands around my neck as I began to choke on the appetizing cracker animal crumbs within the back of my throat. I didn’t understand at the time what was really going on. My mother came out of the room and my dad acted as if nothing happened and told me to…
