    Character Analysis: The Awakening

    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.…

For example, Gene learns only late in the novel that Finny desperately wants to enlist in the military any military and that his fantasy about the fake war simply represents a way of hiding his pain. Finny lives in action always moving, playing, challenging others to join him.

    Out Of My Mind Character Analysis

    Draper’s out of my mind and Palacio’s Wonder both provide stories where the reader can easily become filled with sympathy and pity for their main characters who struggle with some type of disability. I found myself initially feeling sorry for, not pity, for these characters from the beginning of each novel as I was drawn into Melody’s tornado explosions from frustration (Draper 17), and August’s entrance into this life with his “small anomalies” causing the doctor to faint and the nurse to act hysterically (Palacio 6-7). While both of these characters experience daily episodes of what I would consider trauma, I do not see the as victims of trauma as neither of them allow these ordeals to define them, nor…

    Descriptive Essay: Children In The Baseball Field

    Before the game, the atmosphere during Grady's first game was nothing less than perfect baseball weather. Parents, grandparents, brothers,along with sisters were seen cheering on their little five- year- old play baseball. I stepped into the Crieve Hall baseball complex and it looked exactly as it did fifteen years ago. The fields were very well kept,also the grounds crew even still followed the opening day tradition that was to have the grass cut into a checkerboard. The elegant look of fresh cut grass, the savory smell of ballpark dogs,as well as even the sound of cleats clanking across the concrete brought me back to the simpler times of playing baseball. When you are five there is no scholarship on the line or the fear of losing a starting job. You get to go…
