In the book of “The Testament” I was introduced to the protagonist of this book, Nate O’ Riley. Throughout the book, I recognized that Nate is a dynamic character. I saw his attributes as a dynamic character, because he truly graduates from his alcoholism. Nate has grown in character especially after his trip to the Pantanal region. Together along with his character, his attitude toward his job also altered. I can justify that Nate is a dynamic character due to his graduation from alcoholism, his change in character, and his change in attitude toward his job.…
She showed us in this piece how the dictatorship forced her family to flee Dominica Republic, her fear to come to the United States where culture, language and structures are different from her home country and how difficult it was for her as a child to leave a place she enjoys so much, leaving her relations that she and her siblings were so used to. “We didn’t want to go someplace if all the cousins and aunts couldn’t come along”. I believe if she was allowed to make choices as a child, she would have chosen to stay in her home country,…
Ha’s life is negatively affected by where and when she is living. For instance, in the poem titled Mother’s Days, Ha’s mother says, “People can barely afford food.” (Page 15) This shows that in the time that this book takes place, the people of South Vietnam don’t have very much money to spend, even on necessary items. To add to that, in the poem titled Current News, Ha says that every Friday in her class, the students talk about current news, but most of the news is bad. The teacher says “From now on, Fridays will be for happy news,” (Page 18) but no one has anything to say. This shows that, at this time, there is not much good news going around. Additionally, in the poem titled TV news, it says, “A pilot from South Vietnam bombed the presidential…

In chapter 2, she tells how “(she) didn't want to be different” and how “(She) longed to be everything grownups wanted, so they would love me.” She wanted to be the same and to fit in but in her heart, she knew she was different. She had/went through an identity crisis because as she stated, “no one ever offered a name for what was wrong with me. That's what made me afraid it was really bad.” She was stuck between of worlds of both genders. I feel very sympathetic with her because I’m sure everyone goes through an identity crisis at certain points in their lives but to have an identity crisis about the very…

The first reason I assume is that she was so eager to settle down in America to start her new life with her children there. Her real intention is not merely travel. She wants to settle down in America. In her fancy, America is a place of opportunities and easy to earn more money to start a better life. However, the settle down is not that easy as she expected. Things turned out that the so-called “wonder of the earth” Cincinnati is merely nothing compared with her own town. All the fruit in Cincinnati are quite inferior to any she has seen in Europe with details at large. She claimed “All the fruit I saw exposed for sale in Cincinnati was most miserable. I passed two summers there, but never tasted a peach worth eating.” (Chapter 7)The more scorning and ridiculous attitude she reveals toward the living conditions of Americans, “darkened by blinds of paper, such as rooms are hung with, which required to be rolled up, and then fastened with strings very awkwardly attached to the window-frames, whenever light or air were wished for.”(Chapter 4) And she also added she found out in despair that it is the same with elsewhere in all America.…

A dynamic character is one who changes greatly during the course of a novel. There are many fine examples of dynamic characters in all Dickens novels. Three of these characters are Dr. Alexandre Manette, Jerry Cruncher and Sydney Carton. Dynamic characters play a very apparent role in the novel A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens.…

In the short stories Araby” by James Joyce, and “Everyday Use” by Alice Walker, they both have main characters that are dynamic throughout the story. A dynamic character is an individual whose traits change towards the end of a story. Both the narrator from “Araby” and Mama from “Everyday Use” are dynamic protagonists who gain epiphanies that lead the characters into either positive or negative realizations. The narrator in “Araby” is a dynamic character who changes from being obsessive and naïve and then becomes wise at the end, and Mama is a dynamic character who changes from being intimidated and then becomes courageous.…
