    Neely Crenshaw Character Analysis

    After, reading my summer novel, Bleachers, I have analyzed and recognized a unlikley hero, Neely Crenshaw, the main character in my novel. First, in my case, only one hero is determined in my novel, even though there could be more then one in some novels. Furthermore, even it though it is rare to have more than one protagonist or hero, mutiple heroes occur when the group of main characters in a novel both express the same level of importance. Also, this can occur if many main characters in a novel share qualities of a quester, and thus could be young, inexperienced, immature, and sheltered from the past and he outside world. Therefore, heroes in every novel share a similar trait, their thirst for self knowledge and understanding. Finally, in most instances, someone tells the hero, who need not look for heroic, to go somewhere out of their comfort zone and do something, even know in the end it never involves the stated reason. Secondly, in the novel Bleachers the main character, Neely Crenshaw,…

    Marie-Laure Character Analysis

    Marie-Laure had always been curious and questioned what ordinary people did. “‘Why not,’ she asks, ‘just take the diamond and throw it into the sea?’” (pg. 23). When she went blind however, even small tasks seemed daunting, and her father had to help her regain her courage. The Nazi’s invasion of France forces her to use that courage and not lose her mind in a seemingly difficult situation. “‘You did well, Marie-Laure. I’m proud.’” (pg. 117) says her father as they evacuate the city. Upon reaching Etienne’s house, Marie-Laure and her father settle down before her father is summoned back to the museum. However, he gets arrested along the way and sent to a German prison camp. Marie-Laure is fearful for her father despite his reassuring letters that he is alright. She becomes more secluded and isolates herself out of worry, “Only then, with her toes and fingers in the cold sea, does her mind seem to fully leave her father; only then does she stop wondering how much of his letter was true, when he’ll write again, why he has been imprisoned.”…
