Character Analysis: Dayna Marie Forderer

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

Hello Nina, Miss Ferenczi was truly an enjoyable character. Miss Ferenczi teaching methods challenges the students to not believe every thing they're told during lectures. Moreover, we see how students also start questioning Miss Ferenczi about her intriguing stories. Prior to Miss Ferenczis implementation of tarot reading, she emphasizes that “There is no death” and that students should not fear it (160). However, students like Wayne did not realize this during the reading, which resulted in Miss Ferenczi's dismissal from her teaching duties.

“No one loses their innocence. It is either taken away or given willingly” Tiffany Madison.

Eventually she scrapes together

One person I would choose to be if I had to pick fictional or nonfictional, is Jessica Day, or Jess, from the T.V. show, New Girl. Jess has this certain personality that would clash with mine in a positive outlook. In the show, Jess is a teacher for elementary kids, and that I find pretty substantial. I remember when I was younger, I suggested to be a teacher as one of my professions and Jess was basically who I wanted to be when I first witnessed the show. She’s simple in the way her life is structured and how she decides to decipher her decisions. Jess’s personality--to me, I consider her bubbly, outgoing and somewhat blunt, or straight to the point.

This paper will be an analysis of the personality of Blanche Elizabeth Devereaux from the show titled “The Golden Girls.” In this paper Blanche will be analyzed from two points of view. The first analysis will be from the view of psychodynamics using Freud’s ideas on personality. For this analysis I will begin with the structure of Blanche’s personality in regards to the Id, which is the aspect of personality that deals with the instincts, the Ego, which is the rational aspect of the personality, and the Superego, which is the moral aspect of personality. The second analysis will be from the perspective of Abraham Maslow; I will use Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and his

Ellen Foster Ellen Foster reminds me mch of myself. She is a young girl that has to take on a lot of responsibilities as a child. Her mother is very sick and she has to take care of her on her own because her dad is an alcoholic and does not do anything to help. She also endures mental and physical abuse, neglect, and cruelty from different family members. I feel like I can relate to Ellen because throughout the story she has parts where her life is better than whatever she is going through and Ellen

She is someone I feel I could look up to and use her journey to help me. I am going to enjoy meeting with her more over the school year, as I may need her to answer more questions along my journey. She is an inspiration to me, because even when obstacles got in the way of her fulfilling her career she took hold of the situation and kept moving forward. I do not know anyone else who would have kept moving forward. I believe she can teach me a lot, because she has seen all the things that I have to look forward to, the good and the

Throughout the novel, we learn about Christopher’s parents, Ed and Judy Boone. Most of our information about Judy are through Christopher's eyes who characterizes his mother as “a hot-tempered woman, who gets angry quite quickly” (Haddon 103). His mother had an affair with Mr. Shears, their neighbor, which caused a tricky family situation that she couldn’t seem to handle and so left him and his father with her lover. This may have caused Ed Boone to get riled up and feel disappointed, angry and betrayed. In the very beginning of the novel Christopher’s father also seemed to have an anger issue because he was screaming at the police officer. His anger grew more when Judy was brought up and Christopher’s goal to find Wellington’s killer “Father

Prompt 3: Similarities: Something both Ed and Judy Boone share is their genuine love for Christopher despite their difficulty in fully understanding Christopher. I know this because in the text when Christopher blatantly disobeys his father Ed and they get into a fight, Ed later then apologizes and takes Christopher to the zoo and says "Christopher, do you understand that I love you?" on page 66. Which explains itself; he loves Christopher regardless. As for Christopher's mother, Judy Boone, she also loves Christopher dearly. In the text when Christopher just shows up out of the blue and right into her life, she puts her life on hold just to take care of him thus losing her job and leaving Mr.Shears. When Mr.Shears says Christopher can only

Hedda Gabler is a play in which the author, Henrik Ibsen, demonstrates the heavy shackles of society and the burden it impinges on women through the words and actions of the protagonist, Hedda Tesman. Hedda is a woman living for her own pleasure. At twenty-nine-years-old and having been recently married, she is under enthused with her surroundings and yearns for titillating experiences. Obsessed with the aesthetics of the world, she wants to lead a poetic life filled with lust and luxury, yet is too frightened by what her Victorian values deem proper, to do so. Ibsen constructed a brilliant character that simultaneously arouses both sympathy and scorn from the reader through Hedda’s own words and actions.

The reflection of women in literature during the late eighteen-hundreds often features a submissive and less complex character than the usual male counterpart, however Henrik Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler features a women who confines herself to the conformities that women were to endure during that time period but separates herself from other female characters by using her intelligence and overall deviousness to manipulate the men in her life and take a dominant presence throughout the play. Hedda challenges the normal female identity of the time period by leaving the stereotype of the “quiet, subservient housewife” through her snide and condescending remarks as well as her overall spoiled aristocratic demeanor.
