Cassie Sullivan's Character In The 5th Wave

Courageous is a quality portrayed by these three incidents throughout the story. One, the Barnett store in Strawberry, two when cassie beat up Lillian Jean, and three, when Cassie led her younger siblings by herself to reach their home. These three incidents show that courageous is a trait that well describes Cassie. This first incident that shows Cassie’s courage takes

Figurative language is used to emphasize Cassie and her emotions in her experiences and interactions and how she learns from that. Epiphany is used to convey how both Cassie and Stacey learned from their mistakes and simultaneously grew from said mistakes. Many other characters in this book go through an experience they could learn from, but don’t learn from it (e.g. T.J.). But, Stacey and Cassie, thanks to their parents they learn from their mistakes and experiences and get a life lesson along with it. Taylor's book displays a variety of themes but the most prominent theme is that making mistakes is part of life, and is okay, but it is important that you learn from those mistakes and grow from

Cassie befriended Lillian, learned all of her secrets, and beat her up to make her apologize. Cassie was getting tired, so she threw Lillian’s books on the ground. Cassie took Lillian to the woods after being nice to her, doing things for her, and fought her, pulling her hair until she said she wouldn’t tell her father about it. In order for Cassie to win, Cassie said, “Make me.” This may have seemed like a not so good idea, but if this plan had backfired, Cassie knew that in the end, the results could’ve been deadly for her and her

An additional theme heavily shown throughout the book is “people are defined by the choices they make”. Ben left his little sister, Sissy, to die, even though he could have made an effort to save her; because he left her, he now vows not to run from danger or those things which scare him. Furthermore, Cassie promises Sammy that she will find him and, because she makes that promise, she will stop at nothing to be with him again.

“You're not like the others. I've seen a few; I know. When I talk, you look at me. When I said something about the moon, you looked at the moon, last night. The others would never do that. The others would walk off and leave me talking. Or threaten me. No one has time any more for anyone else. You're one of the few who put up with me. That's why I think it's so strange you're a fireman, it just doesn't seem right for you, somehow. (Page 21)

The author described, in many ways, the details of the many different things in the areas Cassie visits and uncovered clues that you wouldn’t find just by reading and imagining. The crime scenes also showed every detail, down to the tiniest and unexpected ones, such as where exactly blood was located or where exactly the victims died and even why they were killed. On the front cover of the book is a black box, a gift. Now imagine what you may find within the perfectly shaped cube, perfect bowtie, perfect letter with words half-way between cursive and print. What you may find inside is a small tissue, with a lock of red hair, similar to Cassie’s mother’s hair.

She had help from Mama and kept asking her mother to help her and her brothers understand why blacks were being treated in this manner. The book takes place nine years before the start of World War ll. Throughout the rest of the book she started to understand why people didn't treat them right even though blacks were free. She realizes this when she was in the middle of the market place with Mama and bumped into Lillian Jean and was being screamed at by everyone to apologize and when she finally did apologize she asked Mama on the way home why she was being screamed at by the white people to apologize, mama told cassie that it was because the whites didn’t see blacks as actual people. (CItation) Why are you telling me this? What does it have to do with your

Before Cassie Bernall became a Christian, she was an outsider at school. Cassie had written letters to a friend about how she could kill her parents, Brad and Misty Bernall, and end all of her problems. Cassie's parents found the letters, made copies of them, and gave them to the police department. When Cassie got home from school, her parents confronted her. After the confrontation, the Bernall's broke all of Cassie's ties with her friends. The Bernall's enrolled Cassie in a Christian school. Cassie was not allowed to answer the phone and no longer had any privileges. She was allowed to go to a youth group, but that was all she could do. Her parents even went as far to put a monitor on their phone so they could know what she was doing when they weren't home. Cassie had lost all of the trust that she earned from her parents. Misty Bernall didn't go back to work so that she could watch over Cassie. Cassie had her backpack searched, her phone calls monitored, and her bedroom searched. Furtively investigating their daughter, they say,

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

Cassieś actions proved that she is a outspoken girl that won´t give up in what she believes in.Also she shows growth throughout the store in her actions.She shows the most emotion for the land through her actions.

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

Cassie Martin is the daughter of a famous star comedienne Abby Grant. Cassie doesn’t really seem impressed by her moms fame or Hollywood at all. She then meets a film student named Marc Jenkins. She finds him very appealing and wants to help finance his film. Although when she ask to get money from her mom she refuses and becomes angry. She still wants to help Marc and thinks she is old enough to help him, but she doesn’t want to betray her mother. I give this book 3.5 stars out of 4.

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.
