Character Analysis On Maybeth Tillerman
In the novel, Diceyś Song out of the whole Tillerman family, the one character that I identify myself most with is Maybeth Tillerman. The reason for why I feel we are similar is because we are both shy. She does not open up very easily to people so it is hard for her to make friends; especially coming into a new school. From personal experience, I wasn't the most open up person coming into Weehawken High School eventually I became a lot more open with myself and with peers. I was quite shy and only knew one person. For both of us, we have a family and they are the only people that really understand you; they're the people that will always be there for you. One characteristic that we both have in common is being musically talented. She plays

    Feeling sorry for someone, but not agreeing with them. As humans we have all felt this feeling at least once in our lifetime. In the book The Awakening, by “Kate Chopin” Kate Chopin sympathizes with the main character Edna but doesn’t pity her. I agree with Kate, because even though she’s married with Leonce a man that she doesn't love and has children with him, she is still free not attached to him at all. Another reason I agree with Kate is that she doesn’t pity Edna. She spends time and loves Robert rather than loving her own husband.…

    Bartleby is described as completely emotionless. He wrote on silently, palely and mechanically, at first when he wrote. He is also described as a ghost. It should be pointed out that the narrator’s problems with his other employees have to do with their unreliability, sloppiness and flaring tempers. Turkey and Nippers are quite the opposite of Bartleby, yet the main conflict that “Bartleby the Scrivener” presents is an internal problem. The narrator cannot deal with someone who appears to be void of any human attributes. In the descriptions of Turkey and Nippers, there is some sort of organic mechanization in the way they work, and how their temperaments change: “Their fits relieved each other, like guards. When Nipper’s was on, Turkey’s was off; and vice versa”. “Ah, Bartleby! Ah, humanity!” is the closing sentence in Melville’s short story “Bartleby the Scrivener”. It is a strong claim about what it means to act according to a certain concept of humanness. The author may be saying that it is human nature to have faults; however losing the ability to emote and connect with one’s surrounding world is…
