    Jimmy Cross Character Analysis Essay

    Lieutenant Jimmy cross serves as a metaphor for the Vietnam War, particularly the war’s lack of a definite structure. The dominant trait of Jimmy Cross is that he is lacks a definite purpose and he fails in his role as the leader of the Alpha Company who should offer clear instructions to his troops on what to do. The author Tim O’Brien used Jimmy cross to show how situations that people are placed in lead to external and internal conflict. The war made Jimmy doubt himself and the internal conflict intensified the doubts relating to his leadership and worthiness to lead the company.

He was raised by a traditional family in a rural area. Vargas ruled as dictator (1930-34), congressionally elected president (1934-37), and again dictator (1937-45). Vargas assumed largely dictatorial powers, ruling most of that time without a congress. He held sole power as provisional president from Nov. 3, 1930, until July 17, 1934, when he was elected president by the constituent assembly. Since Vargas ruled as a dictator there were no national elections between 1930 and 1945. Vargas was brought to power by political outsiders in the Revolution of 1930 and the economic crisis also serves as backdrop when Vargas assumed the leadership of the provisional government in 1930.…

    Adela Strangewroth Character Sketch

    She is portrayed as an old lady who has too much pride and wants to be in the know of every tiny piece of gossip in town. In the beginning of the story, it gives the readers the impression that she was a sweet old lady who takes much pride in her rose bush and enjoys the town gossip too much. Ms. Strangeworth comes off as prideful, intrusive and blunt. Ms. Strangeworth was portrayed as prideful throughout the story when she took so much pride in her rose bush which had been passed down to her by her family. She explained to everyone, including tourists who just pass through the town about how she inherited this magnificent rose bush and the first house ever built on Pleasant Street by her grandfather. She believed that she deserved much appreciation, honor and gratitude from the people of the small town because of her grandfather. Her when the town decided to put up a statue of Ethan Allen instead of her grandfather, she was disappointed and muttered “ but it should have been a statue of my grandfather. There wouldn’t be a town here at all if it hadn’t been for my grandfather and the lumber mill.” This shows the readers that she believed that the town was her’s and no one else’s. In the text, it claims that Ms. Strangeworth would not give out or share her flowers with anyone else because she believed that the roses belonged within her household. “.. it bothered Ms. Strangeworth to think of people wanting to carry them away, to take them into strange towns, and down strange streets.” Even when people requested for her beautiful roses for the town’s church, she would refuse. “When the new minister came, and the ladies were gathering flowers to decorate the church, Miss Strangeworth sent over a great basket of gladioli.” This tells us that she is very protective of her roses and would not even spare a…

    Tom Brennan Character Analysis

    Intercommunication between individuals will always change the way one acts, and subsequently their integrity. Though there will always be a change, it is the repercussions that decide what the affect on one’s demeanor and character is. If they are positive effects, then clearly one will have these traits boosted. However if the effect is negative, then their existence and conduct will change for the worse. Regardless, the integrity and behavior of the individual will always change and adapt to the situation. This idea is clearly depicted in J.C Burkes “The story of Tom Brennan”, and the BBC’s “Death in Paradise”. These texts are able to prove that one’s mindset changed based on impactful, and meaningful correspondence between people.…
