Character Analysis Of Kate Faber From 'The Secret Language Of Girls'

Acceptance is not necessarily forgetting, but remembering and forgiving in order to move on. When Julia learned to accept and forgive her past, she is able to carry on with her life. Equally important, Julia in Sarah's Key written by Tatiana De Rosnay, goes through some difficult times, which made it difficult for her to embrace the situations.

A character is someone portrayed in a novel, play, or movie that represents an person. An author can create characters in many ways to show the emotional, mental, and physical characteristics of that individual. An author has an infinite amount of choices of how he or she can construct characters. Zadie Smith does just that in “The Girl with Bangs.” In “The Girl with Bangs,” Smith represents the narrator as a normal college student that falls in love with a girl, named Charlotte because of her bangs. This representation sets up a series of conflict when Charlotte’s boyfriend, Maurice, moves and Charlotte hooks up with the narrator. Maurice then moves back months later to find out that she has cheated on him with the narrator and another unknown male. The narrator later finds out that Charlotte has cheated on her with the unknown guy and then was going to choose Maurice over her, which causes a small fight about who should actually have her. This gets resolved when she shaves her head in spite of all three men. Maurice is the only one who still wants her. The narrator has clear motivation about why she wants Charlotte, she is a dynamic character, and she is a round character.

The scene right after this one takes place from Norman’s point of view. Here we witness him peeping on Marion while she’s undressing through a hidden hole in the wall. It is made clear to the audience that Norman is sexually repressed and that he desires Marion. In her article, “Coveting the Feminine,” Diane Negra writes on Norman Bates’ psychology and how it is stemmed in his repressed sexuality and oedipal complex, “Psycho features a protagonist who manifest extreme behavior in a desperate attempt to circumvent cultural restrictions on the expression of forms of sexuality judged inimical to the status quo,” and, “Norman Bates takes on the personality of the mother he murdered out of jealousy, projects his jealousy onto her, and murders women he finds desirable in order to punish himself,” (Negra, 193-200). The bird imagery is again prevalent in this scene. While Marion is changing she is next to two framed portraits of these small helpless little birds. Norman watches her through the peephole like a predator stalking his prey. Clearly, Hitchcock heavily included birds in the films mise-en-scene as a visual representation of Norman’s relationships with women.

Sophie attends school in America, but spends summers with her mother.

The introduction of Mrs. Auld in chapter six of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is one that hold a lot of importance not only to Douglass but to the reader as well. Douglass portrays her in a way that allows her to be human. The reader is allowed to not only see the change in her but to experience it. The rhetoric surrounding her even changes as she does. At first, Douglass uses emphasis when she is first introduced, this is done by stating the same idea about the character in various places within the first paragraph. As her character changes, Douglass uses juxtaposition to switch his rhetoric to turn Mrs. Auld to stand for a bigger concept rather than just a human. Douglass in a literary sense holds the reader’s hand by explaining Mrs. Auld’s change step by step of what Mrs. Auld was, what she became, and what happened in between to cause it. Douglass uses the presence of Mrs. Auld to demonstrate the dehumanizing effect that power has on the nature of a human.

Earl Nightingale once wrote, “Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it.

Paul’s time with Elizabeth and Rick is much different than the time he has with Flan and Ouisa. What happens between Elizabeth and Rick is far more different than what happens between Flan and Ouisa. Paul uses “John Flanders Kittredge” as his dad instead of using Poiter (84). Paul does this in order to avoid benefiting the poor. Adding on to that, it would have been reasonable if Paul said that his father is Poiter because it would get Elizabeth and Rick’s attention since they want to become an actor. They would have also asked Paul to give them tips and tricks as what it is being an actor. He obviously does this to the Kittredges and the reason why he does not say Poiter is his Father is not because Elizabeth and Rick would have suspected
