Trish--a character sketch
My cousin Ann is one of my best friends atof all time. We are really close to each other. I treat her as my sister and she treats me the same way. Ann lived in Pangasinan in our family’s hometown while I lived here in Makati. Despite that, we usually have our vacation in Pangasinan, so me and Ann can hang out together and do whatever we want. We have the same trips,. Our the same likes and dislikes for anything.
Ann and I like to sing and whenever there’s an occasion in our family, we usually entertain them by playing my guitar and singing a song to everybody. We prefer the same type of genre in music, but the only thing is Ann cannot play the guitars while I can. We also love to dance and get wild sometimes. Having a mini party and bonding time with each other.
Ann has big brown eyes that usually mesmerize other people when she looks at them, with her 5’4 tall and slim body that can attract anyone. She always joins pageants and beauty contests in their school and luckily gets the first prize. I and Ann have the same type when it comes to fashion. We like shorts, skirts, t-shirts and jeans outfits.
We also love taking pictures. We capture many types of scenery like street life and landscapes. Sometimes we feel like we’re also a models and then take each other’s pictures. We always explore and go to so many places to capture those of itthem.
I always visit her in our province every vacation. I spent almost 2two weeks just to hang out with her. There’ was a time when I can’t couldn’t visit her in our province, so she decided to visit me instead so we cancould hang out together. We always make ways just to see each other. She always surprises me whenever she’s going here at my place.
Ann is a thoughtful person, she never forgets to text me or call me. Update the happenings in our lives. Telling stories every day, catching up with those events I did not attend and making me feel that she’s always there right beside me and never leave leaving me alone. She is

    Ann is dutiful and submissive, so typical of the women of the 30's, as it is shown when she claimed, "Plenty to eat - plenty of wood to keep me warm - what more could a woman ask for?"(p.48) even though it is clearly the opposite of what she really wants. She says to John "I know. It's just that sometimes when you're away I get lonely…" the hesitation in this particular sentence explains her powerful desire to have someone to talk to, yet is afraid of John's response.…

    Ann is the most to blame for her depression, her affair with Steven, and John’s suicide. Although John does not pay much attention to Ann, it is Ann's fault because she never tells John that she wants to spend more time with him instead of him working. Ann brings her depression upon herself because she hides her feelings from John so they can never resolve them. Ann tries to distract her mind by painting the door, this symbolizes the desperation that she suffers from because she feels an urgent need to fill the sense of emptiness, regret and loneliness that appears to be overtaking her life. She is weak, both emotionally and physically; she feels sorry for herself. By continually trying to convince herself that John is the reason for her unhappiness, she is searching for a way out, a way to try and resolve her rebellious thoughts and pessimistic outlook on life. Steven is who she turns to for comfort, which helps her feel young and rejuvenated again. Although Ann is not extremely attractive, she is of average appearance, enough to attract…

    Ann dwells on the fact that her husband is not an intellectual companion whom is engaging and captivating towards her. She has no more motivation to initiate conversation with her husband, making her dwell the time she spends with him. She has all these past memories in her head that shine a false negative light on her husband. Her past memories are blinding her of the virtuous and giving person that her husband really is. She is relying falsely on the past to interpret how she wants to live in the future. She is scrutinizing John for the little things he does that are wrong but does not focus on the bigger picture, as he makes sure “ she should have the clothes... should slave away fifteen hours a day to give them to her”. John makes many sacrifices for Ann and always puts her first. However, Ann does not see this as she is fixated on a delusional reality of what she wants her ideal husband to be. At this moment in the story her ideal husband is not John, by the time the false expectations that she has formed from the past have faded away it is too late. Jay Gatsby is quite similar to Ann on that he relies heavily on the past to affect his future…

    Although, we may not always get together that often, we still try to stay as close as we can. We have a countless amount a traditions we go through every year, small and big.

    Spending good quality time with family is really enjoyable. The quality of the time spent is irreplaceable. We love playing scrabble with each other after our feast. Laughing and joking with each other because someone decides to make new words while playing. Monopoly is always fun too. I enjoy catching up and talking with loved ones that I haven’t seen in a while. Just sitting around and watching a new movie with the family or even simply to relax. I am so blessed to have such a great family.…

    In the story “The Painted Door” Ann is recognized as the protagonist. She is partially to blame for many of the tragic things that happen in the story, such as John’s death, her depression, and her secret affair with Stephen. The way Ann decides to do things has a big impact on the outcome of the story, Moore reinforces this idea when she explains that “Although John does not pay much attention to Ann, it is Ann's fault because she never tells John that she would rather he spent more time with her than working. She also drives John to commit suicide because she "sleeps" with Steven, making John think that she doesn't love him anymore.” (Moore) Ann is a very lonely and unhappy woman, which may be because she hides her actual feelings from John. Ann has a very hard time staying home alone when John leaves for the night. She does many things to try and keep her mind occupied. However, because she is so lonely and Stephen, a neighbor and friend of Johns, comes over to play cards with her, she messes up and does things she regrets later. The actions she decided to…

    Mr. Falker's Trisha

    • 175 Words
    • 1 Page

    I liked this book for multiple reasons. First, I enjoyed how this book was paced. The author could have spent less time on the students bullying Trisha and more time on Mr. Falker teaching her how to read. However, she chose not to which helps the reader really feel how Trisha feels when the students bully her and makes Mr. Falker’s actions so much more meaningful. Secondly, this book pushes readers to think about tough issues; in this book Trisha is being bullied. Students can think about how Trisha felt, and about Eric’s, the bully’s, actions to help them understand that bullying is not nice and is not ok to do to other people. Additionally, it shows that it is ok if you take longer to learn to read or solve problems in math, everyone can…
