Character Analysis Of Evey In V For Vendetta

Ann Maria Weems the main character in the book Stealing Freedom ponders on a question about the Underground Railroad. Ann wonders would it require more courage to be a fugitive, or the one who helped the fugitive to safety?

Michael Vey is most definitely not your average fourteen year old boy, for more reasons than one. He has Tourette’s syndrome, which causes him to have “tics”, such as increased blinking and gulping.

To describe Finny, from a Separate Peace, in one word, I would say he’s bewildered. He’s confused and is trying to find ways to block out maliciousness in the world. Finny is ignoring reality to have fun and stay away from everything in the real world. To stay away from reality, Finny goes to places where he can relax and one of those places was the beach. When he went to the beach with Gene, he was very calm and was escaping from the war. On page 47, Gene describes how Finny… “enjoyed himself hugely, he laughed outloud at passing seagulls.” This quote from the book describes how, when Finny was at the beach, he didn’t have a care in the world. He did things that he normally wouldn’t do at Devon or around his other friends. This explains how

In Harper Lee’s “To Kill A Mockingbird,” Mayella Ewell, a young woman as well as the daughter of Bob Ewell, lives a life of insolence and isolation in the town of Maycomb. As a Ewell, which they are familiarized as being vulgar, uneducated, and indigent, Mayella is disrespected by the people of Maycomb as well as by her father. During the court case, Atticus shows courtesy towards Mayella by addressing her as a miss and a ma’am, which is not surprising for his values of equality. Mistaking his manners with sarcasm, she replies with, “Won’t answer a word you say as long as you keep mockin’ me” (pg.181). Harper Lee is demonstrating the amount of disregard Mayella faces in her life, so much that courtesy can’t be identified as just that.
