Character Analysis Of Ark Angel

Character by definition is the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual. My character is something that my parents always worked hard towards so I would grow up and be the best possible person I could be and I like to think that is distinctive to me. My character is seen in the ways that I deal with everyday life situations. Over the last few years I’ve paid more attention to the things I say after I read a book on suicide that had a large impact on me; I’ve started to stand

I really admire the character of Alex because he is very courageous and intelligent. At the beginning of the book, Alex wanted to find out if the story about his uncle getting in a car accident was true or not, so he went to the auto wreckage center nearest his house to search for the car. Once he had been searching a lot for the vehicle, he ended up finding it to see it in perfect condition except for bullet holes in the windshield (p. 19). He heard people coming, so he hid inside the car. Then a big crane picked the car up and starting smashing it in a machine, with Alex still inside! After all the struggling, he managed to get out of the car just before it went through the part of the machine that totally crushes the car into a cylinder (p. 24). I felt pretty bad for Alex. It must have been hard for him to have to go through a really brutal training camp for something he didn’t even want to do, especially since he had just lost his last family member. He had no idea what was going to happen to him

Alex matures and grows through his experiences in China and is now aware of the human consequences that war has. Alex’s growth and maturity is shown when his dad is captured by PLA. Proof of this is when Alex and his dad are talking over the two way radio before Ted gets captured. He is very concerned for his Dad at this point in the book. This event is the beginning of Alex’s awakening. This event hits Alex hard and makes him realize the reality behind war. Another event that helps Alex articulate his new vision of war is when he sees Lau Xu die right in front of his eyes. He even describes the details of the shooting when he says “Crack! Lau Xu spun around, his arms flung skyward. Before he fell the AK 47 spit flame again and the burst blew Lao xu off his feet” (Bell 114). Another example of Alex’s growth leading up to his epiphany of hating war is when Xin-hua gets shot. This happens when Alex starts to beg the officer to let her go and says” Please let me talk to your commanding officer. I just want to-...CRACK. The sound of a single gunshot. I turned to look into the trees where they had taken Xin-Hua. Oh God no, I moaned. No, No ,Nooooooo!” (Bell 183).

Throughout the novel Killer Angels by Michael Shaara, there are many heroic and tragic characters. Some stand out more than others, however clearly Lieutenant General James Longstreet is very tragic. Why VERY tragic you ask, well, he let Lee continue on with an attack even though he knew the attack would fail causing 15,000 rebel deaths and a humiliating defeat, he had a very hard time focusing on the battle due to the fact he lost his three kids to the fever before the war, he became a Republican after the war, making him deeply hated by the democratic south, and last but not least, he pinned the loss on southern general and first in command General Robert E Lee, the most beloved general in history.
