One of my favorite televisions shows is called “The Game”. I just recently became interested in this show, but I absolutely love to watch it. One of the main characters of the show is name “Melanie”. She is in her early 20’s and she is currently attending medical school in San Diego, California. She is from Connecticut, but reluctantly moved to San Diego once her long term college boyfriend was drafted into the NFL. At first she is unhappy about the move because she gave up an opportunity to attend Johns Hopkins medical to be with her boyfriend.

I believe at first she wasn’t as socially outgoing because she didn’t know anyone and because she didn’t really like her new environment. When some of the other wives and girlfriends of the players on the team tried to befriend her she was very hesitant. This was mainly because they weren’t the type of people that she was used to. She wasn’t so sure if she would fit it well with this new lifestyle or these new people. So at this time in her life she was more of an introvert. As she became more comfortable with her environment and the people around her, she seemed to come out of her shell and she became a lot more outgoing and became more of an extravert. She started making more of an effort enjoy her new home and life. She started throwing dinner parties and she would attend meetings and events that were thrown by the wives and girlfriends of the other players on the team. She would even participate in planning some of the events.

Although Melanie seemed very close minded and hesitant in the beginning, I think that she is also on the high end when it comes to Openness to Experience. She is often the one that her friends will go to for advice. She is in medical school, so she doesn’t have a whole lot of time on her hands to experience as much as she probably wishes that she could, but she normally has very elaborate

    People say that Canada lacks a unique identity, but Strange Brew took this opinion as a challenge with its extreme, satirical exaggeration of the stereotypical Canadian. Everything from the language to clothing is a Canadian exaggeration. The plot takes a Canadian pastime, beer, and revolves the story around it. What this really shows is the true identifier for Canadians, the ability to be at the butt end of our own joke. From the toque to the skates and all the Canadian stereotypes in between, scratch Strange Brew and it bleeds red and white.…

    Three girls dressed in swimsuits in a grocery store may seem like an odd occurrence and nothing more but, to some, it can be deeper. A & P is a short story about Sammy, clerk that works at an “A & P” grocery store. His attention is nabbed by three girls that enter the store dressed in only swimsuits. This simple concept is brought out through descriptive imagery and well described thoughts told by the narrator and main character Sammy. As the story progresses his character goes through a crisis that causes him to make a sacrifice for one of the girls. His manager pushing conformity upon the three girls causes Sammy’s character to evolves from a judgmental and slightly sexist character to a heroic character that sympathized with them and tried to stand up for them. This evolution occurs as the story unfolds.…

    Evil resides within the heart of every human. However, sometimes this smudge of darkness is fed by unimaginably large amounts of hatred and ignorance. Eventually, the heart loses any sense of humanity and shrivels into a carcass of its original self, both black and toxic. In the novel Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys this nature of evil is evident through the characters of Komorov, the NKVD officers, and Ivanov. Within the novel, at various moments, each character displays the human capacity for evil through their treatment of the prisoners. For Komorov, this is highlighted when he brutally murders a grieving mother. Furthermore, he traumatizes several prisoners by nearly burying them alive. For the NKVD, this evil is shown right…

    She meets the required minimum of five criteria needed in order to be diagnosed with this disorder. One is uncomfortable in social situations, the second one is low self esteem, third instability, fourth irritable and antagonistic in her relationships, and fifth she is extremely impulsive. My rationale for this is clearly demonstrated in several of the scenes through out the movie. For her low self esteem it is shown when she clearly states that she used to see herself as ugly and even in the present it seems she still thinks that as she asks Joel whether he thought she was ugly. As for uncomfortable in social situations she wants to be alone away from other people at the party. This is where she met Joel for the first time and she is glad that there is someone else like her who does not know how to act in these sort of functions. Her hair constantly changing can be seen as a sign of non conformity as well as instability. She is impulsive and erratic and this is shown as she quickly starts the conversation with Joel on the train. Her irritable and antagonistic side in relationships is shown all through out the movie. The scene where she yells at Joel for not being more open, or when she stays out until three in the morning and is purposefully making Joel mad and starting an argument. She can be very impulsive as shown when she broke into an empty house or when she just packed and left him after his…

    Mr. Gabriel John Utterson is one of the major characters in Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. He witnessed many exhilarating events through the story, yet he has a very dull and odd personality. As it states on the very first page of the novel, “…that was never lighted by a smile,” reflects this notion. Utterson is like that throughout the entire novel. Also on the first page it says that Utterson is “lean, long, dusty, dreary, and yet somehow lovable” which again shows how he is a very strange man. His lovability could come from his only remarkable quality that Stevenson gives him, which is loyalty. For example, he is willing to stay friends with someone whose reputation has been ruined. This is what leads him to investigate the situation of Dr. Jekyll.…

    I think it’s safe to say that some men may do unpredictable and spur of the moment things in an attempt to impress a girl. That is the case in John Updike’s “A&P” when the main character Sammy makes an unreasonable decision to quit his job hoping that he’ll catch the attention of the girls who had just been scolded by his manager for wearing bathing suits in the super market. What could have driven him to quit his job for a couple of girls he’s never seen before in his life? There could be many possible explanations for Sammy’s actions with the most likely one being that his strong attraction to the girls caused him to believe he must choose between the girls or the job.…
