You will be writing a card report for each of the novels you have read. A card report is a way of analyzing a fictional work into its several elements. It is called a card report because it has often been done on a 5 by 8-inch index card. This report is a preliminary analysis of the novel. This is not only an assignment in analyzing literature but also in writing. You do not have much time or space, and so every word counts.…

In the book Fahrenheit 451, Guy Montag is a fireman who burns books for a living. He doesn’t realize what the importance of books are until he steals some from a lady’s house. Montag is wondering if he can find answers in books. In The Truman Show, Truman Burbank is a person who’s whole life is controlled by television producers. He eventually finds out and ends up escaping. Guy Montag and Truman Burbank are similar throughout their stories because they are curious, they both realized a flaw, and finally both characters fought against their society.…
3. How has the author described the characters to make them seem like real people?…
The main characters in this story are Sheriff Lester Burdon, Kathy Nicolo, Massoud Amir Behrani, Mrs. Behrani, and their son, Esmail Behrani. Lester has a very soft spot in his heart for battered and abandoned women, an outlook that Burdon attributes to his father's having left his mother when Lester and his brother were teenagers. Kathy is a house cleaner who had inherited the house from her father, but lost it because she couldn't afford the mortgage. She is a genuinely kind person, but is very arrogant and bull-headed sometimes. Mr. Behrani is a former colonel in the Imperial Air Force of Iran. Behrani served Shahanshah Reza Pahlavi faithfully and effectively until the Shah's overthrow in 1979, which also destroyed the privilege, power, wealth, and position of people like Colonel Behrani. He is very wise but has a…
3. The main character would have to be Lieutenant Cross. The story is written in third person meaning that O’Brien told the story of Lieutenant Cross. We know that he has a deep love for Martha and “he wanted Martha to love him as he loved her” (891). We also know that “Lieutenant Cross carried two photographs of Martha” (892) and when his fellow soldier Ted Lavender died, Lieutenant Cross though he was the blame. I say Lieutenant Cross is a round character. We know much about him and the story is somewhat about him. The story was mostly about past events that happened to Lieutenant Cross and that is why we know much about him and his journey through the Vietnam War.…

Do you have a person in your life that, without them, nothing would be the same? From your spouse, to your kid’s coach, everyone plays a role. Just like in real life, stories have small characters, that make big differences. Every character in a story has a reason to be there. Without them, important parts of the plot would not be illustrated. We see this in the novel, 1984, with the characters Julia, O’Brien, and Parsons. While all different, they also have similarities.…
The character the really interests me the most would be of course the Elephant Man. I’m just as curious as Dr.Treves is on why he looks the way he does. for example did his condition got worse in age or if it was always bad. Although on a much more deeper level I have so much curiosity for his personality. All his life he has been judged, laughed at, beaten and had people scream in his face as if he was a monster but he still managed to tell Dr. Treves that every minute of every day he was always happy. He had a huge impact on me because if he can go on living everyday and be happy even under all the depressing circumstances then theres no reason why anyone else can’t. He could have gave up but he instead he looked at the better things in life and was always hopeful. While watching the movie he even gave me hope as…

Robert Frost also uses the persona element. This is defined a character assumed by an author in a written work ("Merriam-Webster dictionary,”). When it is used in analyzing literature, persona refers to the narrator in a story or the speaker in a poem, who may or may not reflect the perspective of the author (Clugston, 2010). This is used by Frost to allow the reader to experience the poem as one that each person goes through.…
