Athena Johns Character Analysis
Athena Johns
Characterization
Who is your least favorite character? Why? If you could pick a celebrity that best personifies this character, who would it be? Why? Give examples from the play. My least favorite character is Regina Giddens. She was only about herself and how much she would be getting. "...It took me a little while to find out I had made a mistake. As for you - I don't know. It was almost as if I couldn't stand the kind of man you were..."(Hellman 65). She even sat there and let him die in front of her. Regina was just an awful selfish person and I can't stand people like that. If I had to compare her to a celebrity I would have to use all the greedy celebrities in the world. To me, the best example is a celebrity named Kris Wu. He is a former member of a Kpop group called EXO. Kris left and sued his entertainment company …show more content…
Since they didn't go to school and learn basic things they could not get better jobs. Most could not read or write so it was difficult to even look for jobs. Having no money in the first place was also a problem. The whites dominated politics so blacks could not vote to make their lives better.
Investigate the Northern interest in the industrialization of the South. Is William Marshall a "Carpetbagger"? Explain your answer. People of the North had many reasons for being interested in the industrialization of the South. There was a whole new group of people able to work. You could pay them much less than the people in the North. This meant more money for themselves. There was also a lot more land to build factories on. Depending on how you look at it Marshall could and couldn't be a carpetbagger. He did not move to the South; instead, he worked with people who already lived there. At the same time, he moved his business there so that could make him a carpetbagger. So him being one depends on your opinion on the definition of a carpetbagger.
