Character Analysis of Sam Winchester from Supernatural
SUPERNATURAL (SAM WINCHESTER)
ENGL206-1104A
Unit 2 Individual Project
By: Amee Park
October 16, 2011
My analysis of a fictional character from a Television series would be Sam Winchester of Supernatural. This is a television series about two brothers who hunt down demons and kill them. I actually watch this show every morning so I have learned a lot about it, and Sam is my favorite character. Sam is the youngest child to John and Mary Winchester from Lawrence, Kansas. He has an older brother name Dean which is who he hunts with. Sam’s mother died when he was only six months old, she was killed in his nursery by the demon Azazel. The Demon that killed Mary was feeding Sam demon blood when he was six months old and his mom caught him that is why she died. With Sam being feed demon blood it cause him to have the strength of a demon and have certain power like the demons.
Sam Winchester is the sweet reluctant hero who joins forces with his older brother Dean to battle demons. Dean discovered the shocking, dangerous truth about Sam, he’d returned from Hell-but without his soul, leaving him calculating and untrustworthy. (http://www.cwtv.com). However Sam’s brother was able to restore his soul but with a great cost. Sam went through a lot through after he got back from Hell, he was having had memories of hell that threatened to overtake him, even kill him. Sam being the one with demon blood in him, has to deal with trying to be a better person and not let the demon come out in him-self, having to fight good with bad.
Sam is the type who left the family hunting business to further his career in law but when his father died, his brother asked him to come help him hunt demons again. Sam is the smart witty one who is all into books and has a lot of common sense but can be persuade easy by female demons. Sam is a bit different than his brother he is sensitive, rational, and more innocent and was more interested in living a normal life but however he would do anything

    Krakauer wrote that Chris McCandless was, "green, and he overestimated his resilience, but was sufficiently skilled to last for sixteen weeks on a little more than his wits and ten pounds of rice"(Krakauer 182). In this quote it seems that Krakauer thought that McCandless was well equipped with his skills, so that made moderately prepared to survive in any situation. I feel that McCandless was rather prepared, yet again he never could have been fully prepared for the unexpected. My opinion is that McCandless was vaguely aware of the struggles that he would encounter in the Alaskan wilderness such as his epiphany that "happiness is only real when shared" was realized when his body was dying of starvation. I believed that he found what he was…

    During the American Revolution Soldiers weren’t the only ones who were at high risk of death. For example in the small town of Redding, Connecticut there was a variety of different opinions on war. Unlike like most happy stories and fairytales there was no good side, there might have been a good cause but no side was considered innocent. The Patriots were killing someone for a crime they did or looked like they were committing even if they were fighting for their side. The British were exaggerating situations to get a chance to execute a fellow loyalist or Patriot. In the book My Brother Sam is Dead by, James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier,…

    The Psychology 2 In the movie Life as a House, George 's son, Sam goes through new changes in behavior. When the movie begun Sam was a rebellious young teen with negative feelings toward his father. Throughout the plot of the movie Sam goes through experiences with his father as they spend time together over the summer, which brings them closer together and allows them to have a better relationship. Sam 's acting out and unwanted actions were results of his parents divorce and not having a healthy relationship with his father. In Psychology, the basic concept of Nature vs. Nurture is said to Influence Development. Nature, according to Laura A. King (2010), includes “the individual 's biological inheritance, especially his or her genes” (p.264). Nurture involves a persons environment and experiences. In her book King (2010) also states “early experiences are important contributors to development” (p.266). In the movie you could easily understand the nurture side of Sam 's behavior. Knowing and hearing about what kind of people Sam hangs out with we can kind of understand why he dresses a certain way and why he partakes in certain activities, such as drugs. The people he hangs out with leads us back again to the divorce. Sam chooses to hang out with others like him who fell pain inside. His behaviors are a cry for help. In the movie Sam says “I like how it feels not to feel”. He does drugs to forget his problems and not feel pain. The emotions that young kids and teens go through when parents get a divorce usually include depression, anger, sadness, and the feeling that maybe they could have done something to have made the situation better. While some children and teens choose to hide their feelings, Sam didn 't. He acted out with disrespect and constant anger. “No one knows whether there are actually more depressed kids…

    A&P: Short Story 2

    At the beginning of the story, Updike didn’t really describe Sammy. Otherwise, he described more of the girls whom Sammy was looking at. But, along his writing, readers could conclude about Sammy’s physical look. Another thing is that Sammy had his job as a cash register in A&P store, and from the way Updike had written, readers could conclude that Sammy doesn’t really like his job. He calls one of his customers a "witch" and says the other customers are "houseslaves" and "sheep." But what makes him more hate his job is the cash-register-watcher: “She gives me a little snort in passing, if she’d been born at the right time they would have burned her over in Salem” (303). This shows how much Sammy hates her. In addition, Sammy is sexist. He gives long, loving descriptions of the girls who cause all the trouble.…
