Just in general‚ I suppose that I do find the first book of the novel quite interesting. I enjoy the footnotes that go along with the story‚ as they add a great amount of depth and character to the story as a whole. Along with that‚ the footnotes also provide a good insight to the culture‚ traditions‚ mythology and history behind the story line. As for a particular scene‚ the most interesting to me was when Theron and his pirates broke into the tomb where Callirhoe was. The entire scene to me was

What did you like about this script? The writer offers a unique and quirky‚ character-driven script‚ which has the potential to be wildly unpredictable with a mild bit of slapstick humor that I enjoyed. Though Pamela seemed to take the front seat in the narrative‚ I found that her daughter Syd’s character seemed to be the most agreeable. Her character felt as if she were the physical embodiment of the audience being forced to spend Thanksgiving with their family as all of their foolery behavior

Dead parents are extremely common in young adult literature‚ and although these characters are obviously absent throughout the story‚ they are still relevant and necessary to the plot because of the effect they have on their children. Because “dead parents are so much a function of middle-grade and teen fiction at this point‚” it is no surprise that Collins sets up the Everdeen family with one parent deceased (Sales).

Character Analysis The Crucible‚ written by Arthur Miller‚ is a delightful depiction of the witch trials; where all someone had to do was scream witch and you were hung. Sounds great doesn’t it? I‚ personally‚ didn’t enjoy the plot‚ because it disturbed me that someone could be so religious and blind to reality that they hang their neighbors‚ children‚ and innocent others. John Proctor was a main character in trying to stop the hangings‚ and bring sense to people. He changed immensely in the play

To start‚ the author uses characterization to reveal a lot about the main character through her actions‚ but her thoughts give more of a look into why she makes the decisions she does.
