In the short story Priscilla and the Wimps, Richard Peck tells us that if you see someone getting hurt stand up and protect them. Priscilla saw one of the Kobra bullying Melvin and she decided to stand up for Melvin. “His hands never quite make it to Melvin. In a move of pure poetry Priscilla has Monk in a hammerlock. (Peck, 2)”. She protected Melvin from Monk because she thought what Monk was going to do was wrong. In the text it states “And with a single mighty thrust forward, frog-marches Monk into her own locker (Peck, 2)”.…

What would be your thoughts, at fourteen years old, if you discovered that everyone was pressuring you to marry an unaffectionate, immature prince? Princess Sophia Augusta Fredericka was put into this situation when Empress Elizabeth of Russia sent for her to become the bride of her nephew and heir, Peter III. Sophia took a strong dislike in her husband and therefore helped to remove him from the throne. She then took charge as the Queen of Russia, and changed her name to Catherine the Great. Catherine was loved for the impact she had on Russia politically, economically, and culturally.…
1. In the story the truth about sharks the antagonists is Beth. She is a typical 17 year old girl that isn’t a morning person; however she seems welcoming and considerate. Hannah is a helping hand at the store Beth is shopping at; Beth takes time and talks with her, which ended up being beneficial to her in the end. Hanna is a flat character, although she is important to the story she isn’t described with a lot of detail. Madge P Groton is the security guard, she is the protagonist. From the introduction of Madge you could tell she was stern and not overly friendly. Another important character would be the officer that eventually listened to Beth’s story.…
The first example of a goal a character had was Gatsby. Gatsby's main goal in the book was to be rich. The way he accomplished this is, he pushed his way to the top and he wasn't afraid of who he pushed over to get him to the top. I feel like he was so aggressive about his approach because growing up Gatsby was very poor and he didn't want to live a life like he did in his childhood."He's a bootlegger,"(61) This quote is referring to what Gatsby did to make his money. Bootlegger was a term used for people who illegally sold alcohol. In the 1920s alcohol was illegal. In the book Daisy also had a goal. Her main goal was to get back at Tom for cheating on her. Daisy did this in a very secretive matter. The first thing she did was that she started to be a jerk to Tom to tip him off that she knew he had cheated on her. Secondly, she cheated on Tom by getting back together with Gatsby in order to get back at Tom. Tom then started to figure out Daisy and Gatsby were having an affair. He became angry with Gatsby and wanted him to back off. The last thing Daisy did was kill Tom's mistress by running her over with her car. However, it backfired because Myrtle's husband ended up killing…
I recognize Mr. Decker as the antagonist for he is pitted against his wife’s struggle to get half of everything and continually aggravates her and leads her on. I perceive Mrs. Decker as the protagonist because of her almost center stage quality as she says more than twice as many lines as Mr. Decker, she is the first and last character…
1. I read the article, “Jury Orders School District to Pay $800,000 to Bullied Student.” This article was about a boy named Dane Patterson, who had been bullied all through middle school and his early high school career. He claims that the school failed to protect him from years of bullying, and it finally came to be enough when he was sexually harassed in the locker room. As a result to this, the Patterson family filed a lawsuit under Title IX of the Equal Opportunity in Education Act, using the sexual harassment story as the basis. This week, the jury ordered the school district to pay Dane $800,000 to make up for the damages and trauma caused by the ongoing situation. Anti-bullying experts argue that this verdict will send a clear message to schools that they are in fact responsible for sexual harassment and bullying, and that they must keep a constant eye out for such behavior.…
The most dominant force known to mankind is not weapons or natural disasters. It is our own mind. Our own thoughts and behaviors. Our thoughts construct our reality. We human being the most educated animals on earth, let our fear control us. Fear is the best weapon of all great manipulators. It can change us to do anything, no matter how logical and stupid the situation is. Take for example, after World War 1 had finished, people were so afraid that reality would come back and happen again, so they decided to take away Germany’s entire air force, most its navy, and even its army was limited to around 100,000 people. The Germans were also forced to pay the cause of the war because the people were fearful that the worst is to come. Similarly…
The first reason why I choose the husband as the antagonist is because he hated his wife all the time . Firstly , he hated his wife at the begining of the story . For example , in the first line of the story , ' It's a hot day and I hate my wife ' . This shows that he hates his wife very much . Next , he hates his wife while playing scrabble . It is seen when his wife asked him if he cheated in the game . Beside that , he also wants to kill his wife . He try to use the powerful word in the game to kill his wife .…
Choose, the door with the lady or the door with the tiger? What’s good for oneself or what’s good for another? In “The Lady or the Tiger?” by Frank R. Stockton, a fictional story filled with characterization and interesting conflicts, the climax leaves many questions to think about. Conflict in “The Lady or the Tiger” shows what one can battle with their inner-self while making a tough decision. Decisions are already tough enough to make, but what if it depended on someone’s life, or the decision makers own feelings? Stockton created the story based on the elements of direct characterization and conflict. Stockton makes explicit statements with and about conflict and characterization that are easy to miss, but vital to understanding the story.…
