Three Threads and a Thesis Worksheet
Magic for Beginners: Stone Animals
1. One of the most intriguing characters of this story is Henry’s boss the Crocodile, whose rubber bands ball enlarges as she manages to alienate Henry from his pregnant wife, Catharine. It is quite blatant that the Crocodile does not have much to do except to manipulate the lives of others to achieve maximum results with the minus effort. Although Henry is immune to the Crocodile tears and robber bands ball, his boss always has “backup strategies.” The Crocodile earned her nickname for a tear-duct dysfunction that causes unintended lacrimation, thus not linked to emotions. 2. If it is true that Henry is immune to the Crocodile tears, what drives him to stay away

    In the book “The Red Badge of Courage”, Henry Fleming is not a sympathetic character because of his attitude and lack of concern towards others. His interactions with others express his self-centered lifestyle and mindset. An example is on page 66; Henry says: “Now, don’t bother me!” Later on in the paragraph the author’s description of how Henry wanted to strangle the tattered soldier helps me imagine Henry’s insecure and shameful feelings he was experiencing because of his actions. Henry clearly shuns and ignores the tattered soldier’s obvious attempt to befriend him. He didn’t consider that the tattered soldier was possibly lonely and in need of a friend, or that the soldier was hurting mentally or physically. His inconsiderateness toward his comrade in this situation was not admirable, and spoke to me strongly about his unsympathetic character. Though at times Henry does appear to be sympathetic, as shown in his statement on page 59; “I’ll take care of yeh’, Jim! I’ll take care of yeh’! I swear’t!...” I believe his true, unsympathetic, character shines through more often than the scarcely seen sympathetic side of his personality. In that statement it appears that he did care for his friend and did intend to look after him, but he didn’t care or show love to his other living companions who needed his kindness just as much as the dying one. Henry’s unkindness is shown when, a soldier starts a conversation with him about how excited he was about the battle, but Henry stomps on his cheery, positive mood with a sharp reply; “I thought you was objecting to this march a little while ago” said the youth coldly” (page 18). Note that the author uses “coldly” to describe Henry’s speech. It appears that Henry had no intentions to uplift or encourage his friends through hard times, always carrying a damp spirit, and rebuking those with happy hearts. His lack of sympathy makes him an unsympathetic character. Though at times his actions may portray him as a sympathetic…

    Henry does not admit that he was in fact wounded from doing a stupid act to his comrade but instead says, “‘I got shot, too’” (Crane, 104). Henry’s fear of being seen as weak or cowardly made him forget his morals and lie to his regiment which in immature even if he is still a child. Henry is not a baby and he should be aware of right and wrong. A strong individual would have manned up during or after the battle, but instead, Henry never mans up from his fear and stays a frightened adolescent within the war. In fact, Henry does not even man up before he is in the war either. In the crucial first chapter when Henry is introduced in a flashback, he feels insulted and disappointed when his mother first tells him “The Lord’s will be done, Henry” (Crane, 8). Henry did not predict the sincerity that came with war and did not realize that he could die. He sent off unknowing and never said anything precious to his mother before leaving. He was…

In chapter six of the book, it describes Henry as follows; “Into the youth’s eyes there came a look that one can see in the orbs of a jaded horse.

    As he considers his feelings toward his mother and her behavior towards him he becomes irrationally angry. He expresses his feelings, stating, “It was a heart-throbbing, pulse-quivering quiet, more terrible than screams and crashes...I was Nada’s son, I couldn’t let her leave me. I would rather see her die than lose her. I would rather see her dead, wax-white, her smiles and sneers vanished, drained of blood and energy and appetite” (Expensive People 70-71). The night after Richard’s parents fight, he claims to be too sick to go to school in order to spend time with his mother. However, the quiet that he experiences around her is worse than the screams and crashes of the night before. He wants to feel doted upon and wants to feel loved, but when his parents are fighting, his mother is focusing more on her husband and Richard’s father than she is on Richard himself. It makes him want her attention even more than he wanted to stop his father and mother from arguing. In response to his father’s anger, he wants to love his mother even more, thus exemplifying his Oedipus complex. He is extremely possessive of her and aches to touch her and love her beyond the natural love a son has for his mother. His feelings take a darker turn when his love for her turns into a lust for her body. This in turn gets revenge on both his mother and his father…
