Caitlin Dunne: Character Analysis

Everybody changes throughout life, either it from being around certain people, having people persuade you into doing something, or by seeing a certain event happen. Everyone goes through a type of change that can make a big difference in their life. I argue that people in the play “Witness” by Karen Hesse can change from being around others because Sara Chickering changed from being around the Hirsh’s, Viola ended up joining the KKK because of her husband pressuring her to, and Merlin by seeing Leanora saving Ester.

In the short story “Choices” by Susan Kerslake and in the poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost, are two examples of literature which are similar to my experience.

Sophie Biyoya Ciardulli is the main character in the book, “Endangered”, by Eliot Schrefer. She is the daughter of Florence Biyoya, who is Congolese, and an Italian-American dad. Her mother had always thought of protecting bonobos as her top duty in life, so it was no surprise when she chose staying in Congo to develop her bonobo sanctuary rather than returning to the U.S. with her husband and daughter, after Sophie’s dad is transferred to Miami, Florida by his company for a job. Sophie attends school in America, but spends summers with her mother. Sophie had always been angry and hurt by the fact that her mother was the reason her parents divorced, but when she meets Otto, she transitions slowly in opinion and grows in acceptance of her mother’s

“No one loses their innocence. It is either taken away or given willingly” Tiffany Madison. A person’s innocence and freedom should be theirs to hold and control, but that is not always the way things unfold. Conviction flaws, poor evidence, and the social responses to these flaws are all involved and present in the cases of Paula Gray and Keith Allen Harward, as new evidence thirty years after they were imprisoned comes to light.

Ms. Nancy Mairs, an accomplished and a renowned linguist, describes how she views herself with multiple sclerosis. Mairs presents herself as an extremely confident and proud woman who does not back down from her so-called “disability”. By explicitly calling herself a “cripple” Mairs is showing her audience that she is a strong woman who has come to terms with her condition and is now explaining it to others.

Dunstan Ramsey comes of age as he moves from childhood into his teen years.

Tatiana de Rosnay starts off Sarah’s Key by placing the fictional character of Sarah into the real life roundup of Jewish people that occurred at the Vel' d'Hiv bicycle stadium in France.

Lily came into the kitchen to get something cold to drink, when she found May on the floor making “a little highway of broken graham crackers and marshmallow bits” to guide the roach she saw out the door (172). This reminded her of when T. Ray told her that her “mother was a lunatic when it came to bugs… she used to make trails of graham cracker crumbs and marshmallows to lure roaches outside” (172) Because she saw May do the exact same thing her mother did, she started questioning if she could have learned that trick from May, or if it was from a book. Finally, she gathered up her courage and asked May if she had ever knew of a Deborah. She responded by saying “Oh, yes, Deborah Fontanel. She stayed out there in the honey house. She was the
