In hopes character description on Captain Torres in the short story “Just Lather, That’s All”, got straight to the point, used examples that went with her descriptions, and knew what the theme was of the story.
Hope got to the point of the story a lot faster than I did in my opinion piece, which made hers a lot more precise then my own. She also wrote a lot of why Captain Torres is a good person underneath and really feels bad for when he has to kill the rebels. Also she gave good examples to why he thinks that killing is harder than it actually looks, when he does his job: which involved him to kill and humiliate the rebel’s bodies.
Secondly she gave good examples to why Captain Torres has the traits that hope mentioned in her opinion piece. For example she said that Captain Torres was a man who could put his trust into anyone and it didn’t madder what the barber supported he just had blind trust in him that he wouldn’t kill him while shaving his beard.
The theme she had decided to write about was “trust” which I though was a good choice also because that was one of my choices for theme too. Hope explained how the captain was known as the military officer that would kill any rebel in his sight, but turned out that he didn’t even like killing them or maybe even hated it but because it was his job he had to do it anyways.
Overall Hope’s description of the captain Torres was very well explained and written. The way she describe how Captain Torres was just another victim to the war that was happening, showed that she took the time to make this opinion piece very well done.
