naturalist and politician John Lubbock wrote‚ “Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.” I agree with John Lubbock‚ because I believe we choose our character traits. We make decisions in our lives‚ some life changing decisions‚ some small irrelevant decisions‚ that could change our minds according to how we process our choices.

Character of Doctor Faustus The character of Dr. Faustus conceptualises the Aristotelian parameters of a tragic hero that embodies a ‘tragic flaw’ within a frame that is dazzling to such proportion as to pale other characters into insignificance.

Everlost‚ by Neal Shusterman is in my opinion a horror. Most of the story took part in everlost a sort of limbo that is halfway between life and death. There are two or maybe three main characters in Everlost depending on how you look at it. They are at least Nick and Allie‚ and maybe Mary.

However Allie wants to leave everlost and stars to against warnings from Mary learn the Criminal
