Character Analysis: The Wanders
Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing “If you don’t accept all of us, you accept none of us.” - Zen Wander from Wander Over Yonder in the episode The Wanders
When most people look at me, they don’t always see me. They see a girl. They see a quiet girl who is a big reader. They see a girl who is a hard worker and does well in school. They see the sister of three younger brothers. It’s true. I’m all of these things. I am also much, much more. I am mature in certain matters, and childish in others. I change my personality according to my surroundings, and do not show the world the real me. There are even some things that my family does not know about the real me.
When I was younger, my family would always travel. I would always have to start making new

To make some conversation, my parents had asked Pablo how he was doing at school. While telling us about his classes, he started to talk about several accounts where his classmate’s “stupidity” was clearly visible. At this time, my brother Alejandro turned the conversation into a competition by saying that those stories were nothing compared to some of the things that his classmates did at his school. While my parents were trying to stop the competition, I was just eating my food quietly. When I finished my food and stood up to clear away my plate, I responded to both of my brothers. I said that “there will always be stupid people doing stupid things wherever you go. It doesn’t matter what age you are. It’s the way that the world works. Look, you two are doing it right now with this conversation.” I definitely got my point across and shut them up. My parents were so astonished that all they could do was stare at me. Once I was halfway up the stairs, my parents burst out laughing and called me back to the table. They asked me why I said that, and I responded that “it was true”. This just made them laugh harder. When I asked why they were laughing, they said that they had never seen this side of me, and that they had just realized that I was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Out of all the ways that I have heard people describe me, this is the only description that rings inside my head. I believe that it describes me

    Hello! My name's River. River Brave. Sounds pretty sassy, right? Just as much as my personality. But it's just because i live alone, like, for 8 years? And now my 19th birthday is coming up in July. I don't know who my parents are or were, because i was found wandering in the streets alone by elder couple. They were pretty nice but died when i was 11. I was able to take care of myself because i continued living in their house for 3 years, but i left because there was no shops, malls or stores, if there were, then they are abandoned by now. So i took some money with me and headed to the city, but it's dangerous here and i need to hide from other people. Why? Because I'm not normal. "I'm unique!" I keep telling myself, since i burned a man alive.…

    The narrator - Ultimately, The Things They Carried is more about its narrator than anybody else, and although it feels at times like a book about war, it is ultimately a book about the narrator's coming to terms with his past. Although the narrator is frequently called "Tim," or "O'Brien," the author and the narrator are not entirely the same person. Unlike O'Brien's work If I Die in a Combat Zone (Box Me Up and Ship Me Home), The Things They Carried is deliberately not an autobiography.…

    I could not begin to describe the odd characteristics I possess, but when asking my peers they told me that I was somehow strangely unique. I was never that girl who stood in with the “in” crowd nor did I ever seem like the type that stood by myself, I was in any case just me. Growing up I never really ever fashioned myself as being in any group but I could talk to almost anybody. Kids back then did not see in color. I am an African American student, according to everyone else I “marched to the beat of my own drum” but again to me I was just Jasmine. I came from an abusive home, I never really had much clothes but I did what I could to make it work, and I loved sports, it’s how I expressed myself and released frustration. As my generation grew older I noticed people I once could talk to didn’t. They began to look at me different and strange, it took me some time to realize what they were doing was natural to them because the human mind tends to gravitate to things it is use to; instead of thinking in black and white they finally saw color, as I was forced to come to the realization of when I was young. I still trudged on, known as an outcast but still one that kids looked up to. I believed in myself my rights and my dreams and I am determined to make them come true. By the grace of God, he has now moved obstacle’s and people out of my way to let me succeed in life. Not letting anyone tell me otherwise I stood up for myself, and I would never take no for an answer. As stubborn as I am, I am a true friend, a lover of all things, and a genuinely caring person. I’m the girl you would never guess enjoys country music and wearing her boots on a Friday night, the girl that could make just about anyone laugh, the girl who is wildly passionate on any given subject, the girl that goes to sleep at 3o clock in the morning finishing homework after getting…

I feel people cannot see the potential within, although there is no one to blame but myself. I look to others for approval instead of myself, I aim to please; it leads to approval.

    i am special

    • 498 Words

    I am special. I laugh when nothing is remotely funny. I have two left feet but I will dance in the middle of a crowd. I talk too much, I bump into walls daily, and I have a bad habit of biting my nails. I have a tragically terrible voice but I sing in the shower as if I’m a contestant on American Idol. I am unique. My characteristics may delight certain people, yet alienate others. My personality is my own and will not be changed for anything or anyone, aside for me. I run cross country; a sport of which could be considered a football player’s punishment. I play the piano, filling any room with harmonic tones. I extend my limits, open my mind to new things, and cherish the gifts I receive daily. People may not see me as special, but I do. The goals I conquer are for me and if I accomplish them, that is enough to make me feel like a champion. There may be 7 billion individuals walking on this earth, yet I have talents and abilities that contribute to the world in a different way than others do. I dream different dreams and see from a different perspective. I have my own unique fingerprint. I am me, I am not rich or famous, but I live happily with myself. I look in the mirror and smile contently; the girl looking back at me is a reflection I am proud to see.…

    My true self has many characters. A writer, a keeper, a dreamer, an artist, an actress of my own play, shining on my own stage, I have a friendly and generous character within, who is willing to be there for others. I try to be strong and smile at everyone, welcoming their worried faces with a hug. I laugh and cry with them and even comfort them from their sorrows, doing my best to bring out their own smiles. I love having people around but sometimes prefer to be alone to think things clear. I can be trusted with secrets and loyal to my precious people. I respect everyone’s privacy and try to be honest with others. I love just sitting around for hours and just think about stuff, asking myself questions or just making up stories. I am my own person, my own actor and I know I am good at acting myself. This is my true self behind the mask.…
