I really admire the character of Alex because he is very courageous and intelligent. At the beginning of the book, Alex wanted to find out if the story about his uncle getting in a car accident was true or not, so he went to the auto wreckage center nearest his house to search for the car. Once he had been searching a lot for the vehicle, he ended up finding it to see it in perfect condition except for bullet holes in the windshield (p. 19). He heard people coming, so he hid inside the car. Then a big crane picked the car up and starting smashing it in a machine, with Alex still inside! After all the struggling, he managed to get out of the car just before it went through the part of the machine that totally crushes the car into a cylinder (p. 24). I felt pretty bad for Alex. It must have been hard for him to have to go through a really brutal training camp for something he didn’t even want to do, especially since he had just lost his last family member. He had no idea what was going to happen to him

The people on Maple Street were very flustered at everything, so their human minds started to blame all their long-time friends. One of the many times they did this was when they tried to say that Steve Brand, (the person who was fixing his care while this whole incident happened), was the monster. On page 8 of the play, it quotes “there’s been plenty of times you spend hours down in your basement workin’ on some kind of radio or something. Well, none of us have ever seen that radio.” Also, Charlie was the person that really drove everybody to believe in the monster. Towards the end of the story, Charlie shoots Pete Van Horn in the quote, “Charlie swings around, raises the gun, and suddenly pulls the trigger. The sound of the shot explodes

Connie does not have any control over what people do to her, however, the criticism she takes from her mother whenever she compares her to her sister June combined with her mother’s insults gives Connie a low self-esteem and insecurity about herself; she thinks she is “less worthy” because of this and makes her think her beauty is everything, that she is nothing without it.

A quote that goes along to the novel Crazy Horse Electric Game by Chris Crutcher is “The road to athletic greatness is not marked by perfection but the ability to constantly overcome adversity and failure”. This quote connects to the main character Willie because at the beginning of the novel he was a great athlete that was going to make history. Then one day his life turned upside down when he was skiing behind a boat and the ski came up and knocked Willie out. Willie was in a coma and when he finally awoke he was a different Willie. I feel as if Willie had no idea what was in store for him next.

In the novel The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, other than attending Reardan, Arnold Spirit made his most important choice in trying out for the Reardan basketball team. This is evident when Arnold states this: “I almost didn't t try out for the Reardan basketball team. I just figured I wasn't good enough to make even the C squad. And I didn't want to get cut from the team. I didn't think I could live through that humiliation” (Alexie 135). This quote is important because Arnold proves to himself that he can and will be successful. When he made the team, he did not just prove to himself that he can be successful, but he showed the members on the reservation that it is possible to be successful no matter where someone is from.

The next hero was Johnny Cade. Johnny Cade was a hero because of his actions and he fits my versions of a hero, my vision of a hero is someone who is brave , strong and willing to do something that normally someone wouldn't do something brave or dangerous.

Johnny’s response was “ there life is worth more than mine, they have more to live for. The quotes means it was worth saving those kids even though he had to die.

The people of Salem view Nurse as kind hearted motherly figure. She is greatly respected by the citizens of Salem.
