Paper Nº 3 – Describing People - First Draft

A Kindly Child Oliver, my step son, is a young, good-hearted and kind boy. I first met him in a book shop years ago where he was forced to steal a handkerchief silk from my pocket; however, he was not the one who committed the pickpocket. At first glance you can see he is small and quite slim young man. He has got an oval face with bright blue eyes and a little mouth; furthermore, he has short brown straight hair. He is quite handsome, especially when he shows her bright smile. On the other hand, when I saw him firstly he was pale and thin with an expression of sorrow in her face which has no more. The most characteristic thing about Oliver is his unprecedented kindness. Despite the fact that he has raised in corrupt surroundings, his purity and virtue are absolute. What is more, even when he is abused and manipulated, Oliver does not become angry or indignant. Oliver’s moral scruples about the holiness of property seem inborn in him. Furthermore, other pauper children use rough idioms, but Oliver, oddly enough, speaks in proper words. His grammatical meticulousness is also inexplicable, as he presumably is not well-educated. I admire Oliver because he shows people how to be a better person. Moreover, his generosity of spirit is total, and even when faced with serious maltreatment; he has never lost his sense of morality or humanity.

Her hair is brown, her eyes are honey colour. Moreover, she has a small nose and a big small. Today she is wearing a brown and white sweater, blue trouser and black shoes.
The first thing you notice about him, are his blue eyes, small upturned nose and large sensuous mouth, which make his face very photogenic. At first glance you can also see her short, brown hair, as well as

    The young child’s expression is something that is interesting to analyze because one does not quite know what he is expressing. It seems to be a mixture of confusion and nonchalance which contrasts to what the audience must feel when they look at the photo. The picture evokes wonder, awe, and curiosity, emotions that starkly contrast the boy’s aura of…

    Born into a family of great affluence, young Oliver( Oliver J. Queen), just as any other wealthy child would, pursued an array of skills but it was his exemplary talent in archery that stood tall from the rest; he was said to be a natural. On the flip side, what made Oliver just as normal as any boy was his idolization for Red Hood, but like most children that was something that would remain a thought and would soon subside. Oliver's skill in archery wasn't put to much use as he was a good-hearted, innocent child, slightly traumatized by his first animal kill, which was also coincidentally enough - an accident. Oliver was orphaned at a young age during a visit to a safari zoo after his parents were mauled by lions and since then he's always blamed himself for their loss as he had a shot on the lions but was too hesitant.…

    In Oliver Twist, Oliver’s experience was bad. He was stuck in a situation. The social environment in which he was raised in encouraged thievery. He was born in poverty. Thievery and poverty are both bad experiences which we haven’t faced or lived through. Oliver ran away twice from people that provided him shelter in exchange for him committing to thievery. Some either in his group bullied him for being weak or he attacked them for commenting on his parents. His half brother wants to ruin life for him by destroying all the wealth that his parents left behind like the necklace. He doesn’t want Oliver to get any of his parents inheritance. Later his half brother is forced to give it all back to Oliver and now he has it all. Most of us have not ran away from home, been bullied, or bullied someone. We have not lived through what Oliver has. This piece of literature tells us about the situations he faced in details, and these we have not faced. It’s helping us to better understand what’s out there. One literary element would be individualism because he is left on his own. He is a orphan. We have not experienced this either because most of aren’t orphans or have been in and out of different foster homes like Oliver has. We can see and feel his emotions.…

    In “Oliver Twist” by Charles Dickens, a young orphan named Oliver lives in London, and is sent to work at a workhouse where he learns to survive with the struggle of poverty, starvation, and unhealthy/unsafe conditions, similarly to the rest of the orphans at that workhouse. Dickens tries to show how society cares too much about social class and how that creates an impact of social injustice in the 1830’s. Characters like Mrs.Mann and the doctor who deliver Oliver, believe they take care of the children however, they truly don’t. Oliver then decides to run away from the workhouse and meets the Artful Dodger also known as Jack Dawkins. Dawkins, is a clever man due to his appearance, qualities and relationship with Oliver.…

    In the visual summary one is female and the other is male, although the male is a lot younger than the female this established sexual hierarchy will play a role in the credibility of the woman and the degree of the boy’s openness. If they were mother and son, how the father regards the mother will strongly determine the credibility of what she is presenting to him.…

    The client I chose, George Costanza, showed me many behaviors and characteristics that I could use to explain and assess his personality. I observed him five times and decided that the best theory to describe his personality was the Psychoanalytic Social Theory by Horney. This theory focuses on anxiety and neurosis, both of which I believe George experiences a great deal of. Horney's theory argues that childhood and parental indifference is the main cause of neurosis in adulthood. George Costanza displays almost of all the neurotic needs which categorize neurosis and are used to fight the anxiety he feels.…

    Oliver T. James was my childhood friend; the weird, tall kid that no one bothered to know until I came along. We met at Sunset Beach, a place we’d end up visiting often growing up. He was carrying around this plain, Tardis-blue sketchbook about twice the size of his angular, freckled face. Being one of those most curious and lonely kids in town, I decided to introduce myself. He was two…
