    The Book Thief Character Analysis Essay

    Although most assume Death looks like the Grim Reaper or a scary skeleton thing, in The Book Thief, Death is not. In fact, he even tells us what he looks like when he says, “I do not carry a sickle or a scythe. I only wear a hooded black robe when it’s cold. And I don’t have those skull-like facial features you seem to enjoy pinning on me from a distance… Find yourself a mirror while I continue” (Zusak 307). Essentially Death is saying that because all humans die, we all resemble death. Humans can and will die, and thus he is one of the things that is constant between all humans. Due to this reason I drew a man looking into a mirror to show Death. I just…

    Deceit I also enjoyed Goody Cloyse's character.

Her character proves that people hide their real identities. Goody is a Christian woman who assists young people study the Bible, but in secret she performs magic rituals and joins witch conventions in the forest.…

    Character Analysis: The Wednesday Wars By Gary D. Schmidt

    In Gary D. Schmidt’s The Wednesday Wars, Schmidt shows us the good and the ugly of being a middle schooler. The book introduces us to Holling Hoodhood and his friends as they go through the thrills and wonders of being in the seventh grade. Although his love interest stands out the most to me. Throughout the novel, Meryl Lee faces a lot of inner and outer struggles, but she still maintains an intelligent, considerate and emotional personality.…

    Character Analysis: Unbroken

    I genuinely did not expect to learn this much from the book Unbroken. The story of Louie Zamperini was unexpectedly much more understandable and relatable than I first imagined. Seeing the main character was a former war hero, I found it surprising I was able to connect to him as I happen to be fourteen. In my opinion, readers can easily compare similar situations in their life, regardless of their age. A point often overlooked, Louie is a true survivor. He was stranded forty-seven days on a crammed raft, as well as beaten without remorse at a prison camp for two years. Louie was stripped of his friends as he watched them either be transferred or slowly die. He witnessed many accounts of sexual abuse to innocent and helpless animals, as well…

    Jon Krakauer Character Analysis

    altitudes such as Everest. He was very honest and admitted when he made a mistake. Krakauer struggled climbing and faced many challenges once the storm arrived. I honestly do not think he was trained enough to be climbing Mt. Everest. As an author, he was very detailed and made sure he knew all the facts about the people in the novel. He was also very sympathetic and told about all the guilt he had from the expedition. Krakauer writes, “My actions or failure to act played a direct role in the death of Andy Harris.” (Krakauer 284). He is a very professional writer and really makes you feel a part of the story. His wording was impeccable and I feel like he did not leave out any details. I loved how he was a very honest person while writing which made me have a lot of respect towards him. I relate to his honesty and bluntness. I personally am a blunt person when it comes to telling the truth. I tell it how it is even if it is not the right way to say it. For Krakauer to be able to write this novel after all the stuff he experienced in this disaster is unbelievable. He witnessed some very tragic things and for him to sit down and write it all out shows how determined he was to get the truth out. I honestly believe that he told his part of the story to the best of his ability. I do not think that he could have made it up. He also knew that the other survivors would read this book and would know if he did not tell the story correctly. Since he seemed very loyal I do not think he would have tried to make himself seem different than his real self. If he had in anyway tried to claim that he had no regrets about the expedition and what happened then I would be hesitant of the type of…

    Ordinary People Character Analysis Essay

    Judith Guest’s Ordinary People conveys the complex emotional and physical hardships that can arise from an unexpected tragedy among a seemingly average family. The development of seventeen-year-old Conrad Jarrett, the book’s protagonist, is dire in determining how his family and friends respond to the death of his brother, Jordan. The evolution of Conrad’s character throughout the novel provides insight on the five stages of grief and the multitude of ways they can be experienced. Though teeming with pivotal moments in Jarrett’s development, one instance in particular, the death of a close friend, Karen Aldrich, is significant in determining his choice to continue to live with grief, or die without exposure to feeling. Karen’s death is indicative of Conrad’s shift towards dependency on others, anticipated…
