Character Analysis: Dolores Driscoll

In the book Seedfolks by Paul Fleischman there are many different characters, and even some of them cross paths. A community garden was started in Cleveland Ohio just by one person therefore everyone follows. They all learn how to get along with other people, how to not stereotype so much, and how to depend on each other in their community. All of them struggle with something, whether it's with family, friends, or feeling stereotyped. They learn the importance of a community, and realize how much they really depend on each other. Seedfolks shows that having a community is important for all people to incorporate diversity, culture,and unique stories into their lives. You don't realize how much people depend on their community until its gone. The importance of a community is shown through the characters and shown by how they act, what they say, overall how they are perceived by other people.

Neighbors were friendly and most people would give you the shirt off their back. I still think that good will is here, it just hides itself as people participate less in the community and more on Facebook. Life is fast paced and we all have a lot to do, but I would like community to be a higher priority for everyone in the city.

Weakness and strength are only one thing in a person. This only tells us about their physical appearance or how much force you can apply with muscle. In the same kind of case for Doodle in The Scarlet Ibis, by James Hurst, he was on the weaker side of things with a disability and a heart condition. Character traits for him would be weak, slow at learning, and very dependent on others.

Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird occurs during the Great Depression. Despite the setting taking place fifty years after slavery had officially ended, Maycomb County is depicted as an immensely segregated and prejudiced town. As a result, many of the townspeople assume the characteristics of other residents through town gossip and rumors. Because having a strong opinion on controversial issues in the town could lead to cruel consequences, many of the residents’ opinions and ideas are greatly influenced by others. The fear of being judged and rejected from society causes many of Maycomb County’s people to conceal the truth about the false gossip which hoodwinks the others into misinterpreting and believing the gossip. Miss Maudie Atkinson, a young widow, is one of the few characters in the novel that displays her own individuality and protests against what she does not believe to be true. Miss Maudie's positive trait of bravery makes her an asset to the Maycomb community because through her distinctiveness, she becomes a role model for individuals such as Scout Finch.

However, other regular strangers are greeted friendly, which shows that the less fortunate are treated unfairly based on prejudices. From having her own experience of being less respected than others just because of her level of poverty, she believes that it is wrong to judge and stereotype people based on their appearance, and that it is unfair to selectively be kind only to those who look “normal”. But despite all of this, she still chooses to live as everyone else by neglecting those in need because she is so afraid of falling back into a world of isolation and exclusion. Staying away from any involvement with the homeless allows her to retain an orderly and normal lifestyle,

Be thankful for the people that you have in life because you never know how long they might have to live. The Scarlet Ibis by James Hurst is a story about a kid that was embarrassed and ungrateful because his little brother was different.

After Scout returns home from her first day of school, Atticus notices her sulking behavior. She confides in him that Miss Caroline punished her for explaining the Cunningham’s poor financial situation. Yet, due to the fact that Miss Caroline was new and unfamiliar to the townspeople, she only became confused and frustrated by Scout’s explanation. Atticus explains that “…They could not expect her to learn all Maycomb’s ways in one day, and we could not hold her responsible when she knew no better” (Lee 40). Miss Caroline’s ignorance compared to Scout’s knowledge demonstrates how what may come easy to some is actually harder to come by for others. Thus, it’s not fair to expect one to know something nobody had ever taught them. Instead, the use

The character Doodle in "The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst is gullible. The reason is because he is young in age as well as having self-doubt due to his disability (until Brother shows him how to live). Doodle believes Brother will leave him behind. He has said "Brother, Brother don't leave me! Don't leave me!" (9) and "Don't leave me, Brother ...Don't leave me," (3) on two separate occasions. Although the second time does end in a death Doodle is still petrified when Brother threatens to flee without him. Secondly, He does not question his parents' and doctor's beliefs on his invalidity, he simply accepts their comments.

Another example is that Hoke was able to drive through a storm to bring Miss Daisy some coffee and some company. Miss Daisy had a high involvement in local activities such as going to the Jewish service, playing Mahjong with friends or even going to hear Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. give a speech. These availabilities gave her a community satisfaction as well as personal life satisfaction.
