Analyzing the 5 main characters in the book Hoot
Roy Eberthardt- Kind-hearted, Fearless, and has an Intellectual Curiosity.
He was kind-hearted that day when it was raining really hard and he left his house with some runners to give to the running boy/Mullet Fingers. Even though it was pouring cats and dogs he still tried to look for him Also, those shoes were his and he didn’t have to give them to Mullet Fingers because after all they were his own shoes.
He was fearless when he was on the bus that day and it was Dana’s first day back after the nose punching incident. Every single kid in Roy’s school is really scared of Dana, but Roy has enough courage to stand up to him. He told Dana that he was “dumber than a bucket of mud” without any fear. Also, he kept on telling Dana to “hit me” which is quite brave of him considering Roy used to be really terrified of Dana.
He had an intellectual curiosity when Beatrice was asking him to give her the ground beef and he wouldn’t give it to her right away until she would tell him what it was for. He kept saying that I’m not going to give it to you because I don’t want to harm those dogs. He was curious about what the meat was for and had to find out the reason before actually giving her the meat.
Beatrice Leep – Fearless, Good at Lying, Good at Tolerating Her Life.
She is strong because that day when Dana trapped Roy in the utility closet and attempted to kill him, Beatrice came there and carried Dana out of the room. He was probably quite heavy and scary to carry, but she managed to pull him out of the closet. Then she also stripped Dana to his underpants and tied him to the flagpole in front of the administration building. She was able to do this without fear and that made her fearless. If I was her I really highly doubt that I’d be able to do that especially to a scary bully.
She is good at lying because that day when they went to Roy’s house to get some stuff for her stepbrother, Roy’s mother believed everything she said. Roy is really terrible at

    Through out one of the greatest Christmas stories of all time, it is easy to find the symbolism through the book, A Christmas C’arol. But one of my personal favorite symbolism is what the man Bob Cratchet represents along with his horrible relationship with Scrooge. The only character you feel more for Bob Cratchet is his son tiny tim. Through the first arc of the story, all you can really think of is how the mean Ebenezer Scrooge treats poor Mr. Cratchet. But what does this sad man represent. Well he represents the lower middle classes and is a symbol of how they are treated by their upper classes. But as the story kept moving we learned that there was still hope. lt is not hard to relate to the sad story of Bob Cratchet. Though he is an incredibly…

    Satire and irony have a long and storied history in European literature. This year, we briefly analyzed Voltaire, a French writer and poet who used these literary devices to criticize the unjust society in which he lived. The American heir to this European tradition is Mark Twain, who was one of the first American writers to be known and read all around the world. Twain uses the powerful tools of satire, situational irony, dramatic irony, and verbal irony to make incisive commentary on a variety of topics. We see this clearly in his masterpiece, Huckleberry Finn.…

    In order to classify a story as a fairy tale, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, the story must be a tale containing actual fairies, an imaginable artificial story, or an absolute dishonest story. Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass are not novels about fairies or are completely false stories, but they do contain imaginable artificial plots in which a young girl named Alice travels to different worlds in her dreams. Through the creative adventure of these dream stories, one could vaguely qualify them as a fairy tale. Tolkien's perspective opposes the label of fairy tales to Alice stories by which he states that dream stories may be a fantasy of the mind, but lose their realization when Alice wakes up back in the real…
