Character Analysis OfMy Aged Mother, By Matsuo Basho

The protagonist, Vahan Kenderian, is a spoiled naive child who loses his family in the Armenian genocide and now he must go on his own journey that will last more than three years. He will have experienced more mental and physical pain than any other child his age. Vahan will encounter new people that will change his character for the better. Therefore, the three characters that Vahan meets and influences his character the most is Sarkis Kenderian, Selim Bey, and Mustafa.

“They were ashamed because they had treated the old grandfather so meanly…,” the parents were in the Russian folktale ”The Old Grandfather and His Little Grandson” retold by Leo Tolstoy. “...asking who loves him who loves him who?” questioned Abuelito in the poem “Abuelito Who” by Sandra Cisnero. The folktale “The Old Grandfather...” is about how the parents treated the grandfather meanly and influenced the grandson. The poem “Abuelito Who” is about how Abuelito formed a very bonding relationship with the author (Sandra Cisneros) and how the author remembers exactly how he was like before he got old and is always stuck in his room. In “Abuelito Who” and “The Old Grandfather...” the pivotal theme is one should always respect their elders.

The most obviously is King Theodore representing Teddy. The aunt and the uncle are represented by antagonist characters but it is more difficult to identify the right character for each one “...[Emperor Kang] escapes through the treachery of Zikla, Duke of Anders, a general in the the Upalian army…” (42). Zikla represents the aunt because she is subordinated to the uncle as the Duke of Anders is under the orders of the Emperor. Zikla’s treachery can have a metaphorical meaning if we assume the aunt is Teddy’s blood relative. The aunt betrays his own nephew and she blemishes her brother or sister (probably dead) when she doesn’t look after Teddy properly. At the same time is not difficult to find a relationship between Emperor Kang and the uncle “The Emperor Kang [is] as evil and cunning as the Fu Manchu…” (42). Emperor Kang is described as the worst character in the paper world, like the uncle is the cruelest in Teddy’s real

“ His Expression remained the same- cynical, defiant, painful” (Gaines 84). Miss Emma did not think that Jefferson knew he was going to be put in the chair, which kind of furthers this whole idea that everyone has that’s he’s incompetent. Even his own aunt without realizing has degraded him. I think that maybe Jefferson can’t read or write but he’s a human who understands laws. At the beginning of the book I was feeding into the notion that he was mentally challenged, but I think now that he just grew up in the uneducated black stigma put on him by white people not letting black school have the same education. And so he knows he is going to die, he doesn’t fight he doesn’t resist he faces the unjust punishment with grace and is going o let

1. Who are the most important characters? Identify the protagonist/antagonist/ Write down important information and characteristics about each one.

For many decades, books present us with different characters that impact the course of history and literature. These personas all come with different and unique perspectives that add meat to a story in unexpected ways. Usually the characters with the biggest impacts are the major characters of a story; however, as seen Antigone by Sophocles and Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, that concept may not always be the case. Both stories create a unique way of developing their plots: by utilizing their minor characters. The play and the book provide their minor characters, Obierika and Teiresias, impactful roles in the way they serve as the wise, reasonable, and sane personalities that hold the voice of reason in society.

Driss Chraibi's Mother Comes of Age is an exceptional novel about an Arab woman seeking knowledge of the world. Despite the main character's age, the novel can be described as a bildungsrowan because of her personal growth. This woman develops and matures from a secluded, uneducated woman to an informed activist, proving she is capable of anything.

The third character is the old man. What we know of him is that he is deaf and passes every night getting drunk at the café. It is believed by the waiters that he has plenty of money. After all, he can afford to sit and get drunk every night. Even when he is drunk, he is incredibly neat. “This old man is clean. He drinks without spilling. Even now, drunk.” He is filled with despair, which may be the reason that he tried to hang himself the week before. He is taken care of by his niece, since she was the one who saved him when he tried to kill himself. He may have been married at one time. He has no real desire to go home, since he waits until the waiters cut him off before he leaves.

In the Eyes of the Emperor I understood something that I have heard multiple times over and over, which is to not judge a book by its cover. I understood that it meant to not judge something before you know it in a deeper level. In this book the narrator, Eddy, was the one being judged because of his heritage and through him I got to feel what it was like to be judged . With the Lieutenant and some other people judging Eddy he did not get a lot

Each character in the film represents some type of Social structure in China. Focusing on Li Mubai, Yu Shu Lien, and Jen Yu, you are able to get a sense of the social and ethical ideals of each class. Begging with Li Mubai, who embodies the stereotypical “monk”. He is always proper and resilient to negative influences. He spends the greater part of his life studying Kung Fu, and is the master of the Wu Dong clan. He is arguably the strongest character in this movie. He is the embodiment of restraint. This being most

The tone is increasingly felt in this stanza. It is depicting a sixty years old person who could be as a symbolical time of a community or a person should be in the lower classes. To continue with his or her boss is a young girl and she or he should call her “ma’am”. The person keeps laughing, but now the laugh is not only for his or her self. The laugh is in the system that make the person’s life become in irony for a long

It took me eighteen years to spend some quality time with my mother and discover what an incredible journey she has had with my brothers and me. She is the kind of person who has always been very involved with all parts of our daily lives. In fact, she was the kind of mother who always had time for her three sons, worked full-time and had time to devote to community projects too. Her energy and enthusiasm for all of these things seemed endless and she always tried to teach the three of us to see the value in the idea of giving back to the community. I was always glad that she was present at my games and supported me through school, but it took me over a decade to learn what motivated her to be so

The strongest point of comparison between the two characters in question is their mutual descent into mental instability and the degree to which this influences their behavior. Indeed, the common ground in the two stories is at the outset, when an ailing ruler is manipulated into divided his kingdom amongst his children. This division of territories, an event stimulated by individual vanity and infirmity, would have consequences kingdom-wide. The unraveling of civility and familial bonds which would occur thereafter is common to both tellings.

A mother is someone who can take the place of all others but no one can take the place of her. There are many different definitions you could use to describe your mother. My mother, Pam Krull, fits every one of those. Today I decided to pick the three that I thought was most important to me. I admire and aspire to be like my mother because of how supportive, how selfless, and how loving she is.

My mother Christy Rehn has many great qualities that make up who she is today. First, to give a physical description; she is a female and is 44 years old about 5’5 . She has short dark brown hair that goes down to her shoulders. Her eyes are as brown as a bear and are very fast moving. One great quality is that my mom is very funny. She enjoys a good laugh when she's feeling happy or not feeling well at all. She enjoys spending time with her family. Especially, going to the movies as well as sitting out on the beach on a hot sunny day. My mom isn’t just another average person, she shares her many unique qualities that allow others to see who she really is on the inside.
