Character Analysis: Inside Out And Back Again

I was pleased to have attended a lecture cosponsored by the Ethics Center, the Fresno State office of the president, the Fresno Bee and Valley PBS. The lecture began with Dr. Castro recognizing a few leaders on campus, including a past Fresno State president, Dr. John D. Welty and campus volunteer Mary Castro. Dr. Castro then mentioned a few things about Mr. Brooks stating that he is a columnist for the New York Times and an analyst for the PBS “News Hour” and NPR’s “All Things Considered.” Dr. Brooks also teaches at Yale University, one the finest university in the country. Dr. Castro continued by saying that he learned that Mr. Brooks office hours are from 9am to 1pm and how “cool” it sounded to him. I was surprised how many people attended the event. I was fortunate to find a seat. David Brooks mentioned how he has some remote roots in the Central Valley because his father grew in Chowchilla, CA but Mr. Brooks grew in New York.

Miscommunication was one of the key factors that led to the catastrophe on Everest on May 10, 1996. One situation that led to the deaths on Mount Everest was the fixation of the ropes by the Sherpas. Two of the hired Sherpas, Lopsang and Ang Dorje, were supposed to climb ahead of Rob Hall and Scott Fischer’s groups and fix the attached ropes to the side of the mountain. However, as stated in Jon Krakauer’s best selling novel Into Thin Air, there was a problem that forced a very long delay.

Ha is a very strong and stubborn character (from Vietnam) who can sometimes throw a fit when things don't go her way….. “But sit under the willow tree and into it scream scream scream I hate everyone!!!” Page 209. This quote shows how upset Ha is, and how hard it is to be in a new country and a new environment. On the other hand, this also shows how Ha is coping in a new place. “I don't blame her, having a daughter who’s either dying of thirst or demanding release.” “Other girls must be made of bamboo.” Page 73. Meaning other girls are less stubborn and easier to handle

This essay is about the universal refugee experience and the hardships that they have to go through on their journey. Ha from Inside Out and Back Again and other refugees from the article “Children of War” all struggle with the unsettling feeling of being inside out because they no longer own the things that mean the most to them.

Did you know that the Vietnam War, which lasted for approximately 20 years, is the longest war in the entire U.S history. Ha’s life mirrors the universal refugee experience as their lives are turned “Inside Out” because both ha’s life and refugees had to flee, were under attack and had to adapt to their new surroundings.

Throughout The Messenger there are a few conflicts although the initial conflict in my story is different, it's not against a bad guy like some people that have read the book might think. To me the conflict is Ed trying to get over himself, he has been a nobody his whole life and he’s letting it stop him. I’m close to the end of the book and Ed has developed a lot, he is near over this obstacle in his life. Going into the whole scenario he was scared hopeless and wondering why him, but now he is coming to the realization to why and how and he is progressing through not only the messages but the problems that existed in his life before the messages.

Many refugees share common experiences. These are called, universal refugee experiences. Two of these experiences are fleeing, and finding and home. This relates to Ha, the main character of Inside Out And Back Again,by Thanhha Lai,who also goes through these universal experiences of finding a home,In fact the title of this book also relates to these experiences, and their life in general.

It's pretty odd, life that is, when reduced to its basic essence, everything on this planet seems quite odd. The fact that we are made from the insides of stars, and that we live our lives with almost no tangible point rattles the mind. We commit to being authentic to ourselves, but we are also in inauthentic because we fear freedom. In Leo Tolstoy's the death of Ivan Ilyich, and T. S Elliot's love song of J. Alfred Prufrock, the existential concepts of commitment, and authenticity are used to show that living the examined life. Living authentically to avoid living inauthentically, will bring alienation, but in the end, will lead to commitment.

The t.v. series M*A*S*H shows the viewers the end results of numerous battles that occurred during the Korean War. We get to see how the doctors react to long hepatic days in the operating room to being attacked from the enemy forces.

Negative stereotypes surrounding obese individuals include that they are lazy, therefore their condition is their own fault. Mama’s character feeds into this stereotype by primarily being shown sitting or eating. Mama states, “I never meant to be like this, a joke,” and apologizes for her appearance after meeting Becky. These comments contribute to the stereotypes that obesity results from one’s own lack of control and that large bodies are unsightly; thus, they necessitate an apology for being seen by others. Mama’s weight gain began after her husband’s suicide, suggesting that eating served as a coping mechanism following a traumatic event. Therefore, the film could have focused on the underlying issues that triggered her eating disorder to negate the stereotypes about obesity.
