Cassie Sullivan Character Analysis

“The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance” (Socrates). In Sarah’s Key by Tatiana De Rosnay, it is determined that this quote is in fact true. In the novel, Sarah a ten year old girl is introduced. Sarah lived in Paris during 1942 when Hitler demanded that all Jews be arrested and sent to concentration camps. Most of the Jews had no information on what was going on, especially in France where the French police rounded up all the Jews and brought them to concentration camps. Major conflicts arise in the novel because of character’s lack of knowledge. Sarah’s innocence created her lack of knowledge leading to her brother Michel's death additionally, William’s lack of knowledge created a conflict within himself, and finally

Lastly, Cassie had little to no human contact before she was shot in the leg and picked up by Evan Walker but she still didn’t hesitate to make out, cuddle, fight, or do anything that a normal couple would not do if there was an alien invasion. After fighting about many things such as Cassie being a Mayfly and such, they begin to kiss, “And then Evan Walker kisses me. Holding my hand against his chest, his other hand sliding across my neck…” Despite Cassie being shot in the leg by an unknown shooter, aliens trying to take over the Earth, her brother gone, and her family dead, she still is a teenage girl who enjoys male interaction.

Finally, Cassie had little-to-no human contact before she was shot in the leg and saved by Evan Walker but she still did not hesitate to kiss him, cuddle, fight, or anything that a normal couple would do. After fighting with each other, “Evan Walker kisses me. Holding my hand against his chest, his other hand sliding across my neck…” Despite Cassie being shot in the leg by an unknown shooter, aliens trying to take over the Earth, her brother being taken, and her family being dead, she is still a teenage girl who enjoys male interaction.

In the first novel of the Naturals we meet Cassie Hobbs who can read people as in terms of emotion and behavior. Her mother was attacked and presumed dead at the age of 12. She discovered the scene and felt "broken". She then moved to her paternal grandmothers house and lived there for 5 years when she's seventeen she's approached during her shift at the diner by a young man who we'll later find out to know as Michael. She is recruited to Michael for the FBI to help solve cold cases. She meets the other naturals in the program such as Sloane, Dean, Lia, and Michael. It's

Near the end of the book Cassie bumps into Jeremy Simms sister and her dad comes and pushes Cassie off the sidewalk.“It was then that I bumped into Lillian Jean Simms… Mr. Simms glared down at me “When my gal Lillian Jean says for you to get yo’self off the sidewalk, you get, your hear.” This shows her losing innocence because she now sees how terrible white people are to push a 9 year old girl off the sidewalk because someone bumped into her. Lillian and her dad are very racist so now she knows not to mess with her and not to talk back.

One main reason I chose to annotate this page is that it gives us a lot of important aspects of Cassie’s character. Not only the dialogue shows this, but Cassie’s own thoughts as well. As she is speaking with Brogden, Cassie states that she “did my best to answer Brogden’s questions without popping him with my free hand”. This shows that even though Cassie is speaking with Brogden hoping to join their camp for the safety of her family and herself, she is resistant and untrusting. Brogden asks them why they’re here (at the camp), and Cassie responds, “you mean at this camp, or are you being existential?”. Brogden is confused, and Cassie continues, saying “if you’d asked me that before all this”...”happened, I’d have said something like, ‘We’re here to serve our fellow man or contribute to society.’ If I wanted to be a”...”I’d say, ‘Because if we weren’t here, we’d be somewhere else.’ But since all this”...”has happened, I’m going to say it’s because we’re just dumb lucky”. This shows that she has a mildly sarcastic and snarky side to her personality. Another very important detail we learn from this statement is that even though it’s the ‘apocalypse’, Cassie seems very unafraid and unintimidated by people and situations that most people would panic in. She possesses the ability to poke fun at even the most stressful of

Cassie Logan is a black, nine year old girl living in rural Mississippi. Throughout her life Cassie displays many different qualities, she can be feisty, sassy, and clever, but most of all she is courageous. This does not just mean she is plucky or tenacious, it means she is “brave and/or fearless” (Merriam Webster Dictionary). Whenever she shows this quality, she stands up for herself, as well as others. Being courageous is so important simply because she is a black girl living in 1933. Racism was very common at that time, and standing up for yourself was the only way you would get respect. However, in some incidents described in the book, Cassie changed her life for the better and took one step closer towards a fairer world. There are three

Cassie is trying to fight back the extraterrestrial beings so that can leave the Earth once and for all. Humanity is trying to fight back what they got left of the world and save the human race that is at risk. Cassie enters the camp and she is ready to be in wonderland until she escapes and ends up finding Sammy and Ben and then the three of them escape, but then the run into Vosch ( the antagonist) . They end up defeating him and escaping the camp where they were first out. One major event is when Sammy is taken away from the =m y Squad 53 and put into the camp where they would keep him safe. Another major event is when Ben and Ringer find out that they are the fifth wave “Ben we’re the 5th wave” pg.309. Also when Cassie finds out that Evan Walker is a silencer ,but switched side to join the humans”So I do the things most reasonable people would do in my situation I run” pg.357.I did like the ending them escaping and Cassie saving her brother. I honestly believe that they will save the human race and the

To begin with, Cassie always thinks about Sammy’s safety before her own. Throughout the book, Cassie was dedicated to keeping her brother safe until the point where the siblings were separated. Once Sam is taken away from Cassie, her original mission is

When she wakes up she is in an unfamiliar room in an unfamiliar house with an unfamiliar guy standing over her. Evan tells her how he found her near the highway and took her back to his house, how his family died, and how he has lived alone in the woods all this time. As Cassie’s leg heals they become close, but Cassie has her doubts about where Evan goes every night. Meanwhile, Zombie is in a training camp, in squad 53. Sammy, Cassie’s little brother, ends up in this squad as well. Zombie and Sammy bond as their squad rises up in the ranks. The top two squads at the camp will graduate, and are to go and fight the Others on the

Cassie has lost her mother, but has found someone potentially able to help her find her mother. Agent Locke has lost the person she trusted the most, but has found something to replace her hurt of abandonment. Michael lost to Lia’s goading, but he found a way to get even. Throughout the book, Barnes subtly explored the contrast between lost and found, giving her story a smooth flow from the beginning to the resolution. Making a point that everyone has lost something, she seems to support that everyone has found a replacement of sorts as well. Cassie experiences several losses throughout The Naturals, but Barnes’ ability to provide a satisfying and strong conclusion brings Cassie’s first months of being a Natural to a

She meets her savior, Evan Walker, who tells her they are in his rural country house, and he'd found her on the highway, crawling in blood. Cassie insists that she must go to Camp Haven to save her brother, but Evan is unsure that she is fit enough for the journey yet, and so they stay. Over time, the two grow closer. One night, Cassie and Evan get into a fight, but Evan ends it by saying that Cassie saved him, rather than vice versa, and kisses her. Sammy Sullivan, Cassie's brother, has arrived at Camp Haven via the bus on which he was taken.

During the middle of the book, Cassie gets hurt. Not physically, but mentally. She finds herself in discrimination against a white girl. She does something very bad, gets her revenge. She beats up the white girl and threatens to tell her secrets. All the logan kids want to tell on Cassie, but Stacey wasn’t going to let her get in trouble. “ Mama gonna whip you good, too,” said prideful Little Man still fuming as we approached the school… “Naw you ain’t,” said Stacey back.

Cassie changes and grows as a character through man.vs society,man vs.man,and man vs. self conflicts

The further ‘off the rails’ Cassie goes, the more extreme the sexual situations, at one point ‘courting’ a female and then a few minutes after the female leaves a male arrives. “Sexuality strongly influences people’s identity.” (Op. cit. p.22) And at this point in the series we find that Cassie has a very mixed up idea about who she is and what she wants.
