Walter Mitty Character Analysis
I like the last story that we read called the secret life of Walter Mitty because revealing people to define what situation we are in and why people do not like to face the problem and they choose to avoid . At the end of the story , He realized fantasy won't happen in real life that inspired me to find the meaning of life . In this story also explored more like if you have a dream , It could be the courages that help you succeed.

In the first unit , my favorite character is Charlie's father from the story reunion , He cares about his son specially , my first expression of him is not that good , but when I read through these paragraphs , the detail shows Charlie is the cherish for him . He could be rude to another people , but when he faces to his son , He is tender and never be sad . Also he argued with a bartender because they can not serve drugs to his son , He speaks glowingly his son , and he is being regretted about he didn't lead his son visit his club .

Because the style of the intro is darkness. A girl was scared about where she stands at. And the girl explained, She stood at the opposite side of the river and there was a dark forest behinds him , no one besides her. At the begging of the story makes people imaged more, because a character was a professor not that girl. That makes me imagine is the man kills the girl or they both in the forest.

Lear and Gloucester are similar because they both had a high status. Gloucester is a duke and Lear is a king. They both had a long beard, the beard could symbolize the significance of intelligent or the age is getting older. They both had a bad son or daughter caused them has nothing. Gloucester lost power and his mind because Edmund frames Edgar, this effected he can believe in nobody .Lear lost his power, Cordelia and Kent.

    Tjatjakaymatchan Summary

    The book I chose this week is called "Tjatjakaymatchan (Coyote) A legend from Carmel Valley" by Alex O. Ramirez and is a Native American tale about why the coyote calls into the night. I would categorize this book as fiction because of the talking coyote and fox. I decided to read this book because of my Choctaw heritage and it reminded me that many first people languages and stories are vanishing into the time because they not written down most of the time. The most interesting piece of information that I found was about why this book was published and it was because the writer's friends encouraged him to write down his memories of his Elders so that they would not fade into time. I also thought his illustrations were interesting because unlike…

    Character Analysis: The Invisible Man

    During the reconstruction period after the American Civil War and the years leading to the Civil Rights movement, African-Americans were classified as an inferior racial group rather than as equals and individuals. African-Americans were considered “invisible” and looked down upon by whites in the North as well as in the South. In Ellison’s novel, The Invisible Man, the narrator’s name is never revealed. This further contributes to how the African-Americans were viewed as invisible and the narrator admits, “Or again, you often doubt if you really exist. You wonder whether you aren’t simply a phantom in other people’s minds” (Ellison 208). In the prologue, the narrator listens to Louis Armstrong’s song, “Black and Blue”, while in his basement…

    Ageism in king Lear

    Gloucester observes disastrous events occurring in the play, most notably the ones occurring in the kingdom. He notes that love can never last, friendships eventually break up, and brothers become enemies which eventually leads to chaotic behavior. Ultimately, these malicious acts break out into devastating events such as civil wars, the bond breaking between father and son, and lastly the betrayal of King Lear and his noble power. In addition to all of these spiteful acts, it is evident that ageism is also portrayed in the play about the King himself, especially at the end of scene one. The first sign of how ageism begins in the first act is King Lear’s debatable decision to divide up the kingdom between his three daughters, Goneril, Regan and Cordelia. Eventually, Lear’s unwise decision causes chaos and havoc throughout the family, leading to multiple conflicts such as the banishment of Cordelia and the insulting comments about Lear’s old age and judgement.…

    Gloucester and Lear's Realizations of the Importances in Life

    In William Shakespeare’s King Lear, Gloucester and Lear both experience similar situations in which their children cause them to suffer greatly: The former suffers from blindness and the latter slips from reality into a state of madness. It is not until Act 4, scene 6 that they come to the realization of the importances in life; such as true love for and from a child. Gloucester is convinced by his illegitimate son Edmund that his legitimate son Edgar cannot be trusted, resulting in the banishment of Edgar. King Lear believes the false protestations of love his two elder daughters, Goneril and Regan sell to him; meanwhile, his youngest daughter Cordelia is the only daughter whose love for her father is real. Since she could not express her love for him in words, Lear banishes her as well (4.6.109-121). Gloucester and Lear experience despair in their lives because of the betrayal of their children, until hope appears to them in Act 4, scene 6: Gloucester and Lear realize that they have misjudged their children, and by the end of the scene, they gain knowledge of how to correct their wrongdoings. Both men have disloyal children, but they each also have one loyal child that they love deeply and are filled with grief for treating badly. Gloucester and Lear banish their loyal child and make their disloyal children their heirs. In Act 4, scene 6, Gloucester and Lear realize they are blind of the truth which has cost them greatly, and therefore experience a rebirth; Gloucester no longer has a death wish, but strives for self-discovery and Lear realizes that he is equal to all other human beings and flattery and praise are unimportant. It is not until this scene that the importance’s in life, such as become evident to Gloucester and Lear.…

    King Lear vs. the Stone Angel

    It first became clear that Shakespeare's King Lear and Laurence's Hagar Shipley were similar main characters when their personalities were developed with flaws. King Lear was immediately revealed as an imperfect character when he was shown in his somewhat conflicting roles as a father and a king. After resolving to divide his kingdom amongst his three daughters Lear develops a way to decide how his power and land will be divided. Looking to his three children Lear probes, "Tell me, my daughters/ (Since now we will divest us both of rule,/ Interest of territory, cares of state),/ Which of you shall we say doth love us most?/ That we our largest bounty may extend/ Where nature doth with merit challenge."(I.i.49-54) It is at this point in the play that King Lear…

    King Lear Character Analysis Essay

    I find it quite ironic how Gloucester finally ‘sees’ and understands his world until he loses his vision. I believe Shakespeare most likely did this to create tension. As a reader, I find it truly amazing how Shakespeare made Gloucester ‘mentally’ blind by not realizing his son’s loyalties by then making him physically blind and making him ‘see,’ ironically, how Edmund had deceived him. I also found it quite ironic how King Lear decides to divide the land between Goneril and Regan and refuses to share the land with the only daughter who truly loves him, Cordelia. I believe King Lear let his pride get to him by not thinking about the consequences. It is safe to say the theme of this play is the inability to see things for what they are. As the story progresses the reader gets to see how King Lear’s stubbornness gets him absolutely nowhere. He had no reason to accuse Cordelia for being ‘unfaithful’. After all, she was the only one who truly loved him. It is also ironic how King Lear banished Kent, his most loyal servant for saying things for what they were for. As a good ‘friend’ Kent decided to let Lear know that what he did was wrong and unnecessary. Because of this Lear’s pride was hurt and this caused him to make irrational…
