A not-so-average girl of Mason County, Jourdan Scott is surely a character. Her interests are broadened beyond many horizons. Jourdan is not a girl that could really be put into a specific category. By category, I mean a popular, mental classification most tend to place others in based on their interests and social groups. This eighteen year old ranges all the way from the gamers to the rednecks, from the introverts to the extroverts, and from the good girls to the rebels.

What if everthing and everyone you loved went away? Life is hard, but luckily you have your loved ones to help you. But what if you didn’t? In the book, The Outsiders, even though many characters impacted each other, Johnny, Ponyboy, and Dally impacted their peers the most throughout the book.

In The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, Johnny is introduced and developed as scared and afraid, though his actions. Johnny killed bob, he killed him in self-defense. Dally sent Johnny and Ponyboy to the church to hide them from the police then Dally sent the police toward Texas to look for Johnny and Ponyboy. Johnny was attacked by Socs when he was younger and since then he carries a switchblade with him, and he is timid and scared. On page 34 it says, “Johnny was jumpier than ever. I didn't think he'd ever get over it. Johnny never walked by himself after that. Johnny, who was the most law-abiding of us, now carried in his back pocket a six-inch switchblade.” Johnny got scared so now he tries to be a very good person and always stays with someone,

The final way that Laertes acts as a foil to Hamlet occurs once again when Claudius and Laertes are discussing Laertes’ actions to achieve his vengeance. Claudius gives Laertes advice saying, “That we would do/ we should do when we would; for this ‘would’/ changes” (4.7.134-136). Claudius is warning Laertes that if he waits long enough, he will probably end up not doing anything at all and will not achieve his goal of vengeance. This quote spoken by Claudius is quite similar to when King Hamlet’s ghost meets with Hamlet earlier in the play to warn him about how he was killed by Claudius and that he must get revenge. King Hamlet’s ghost also warns Hamlet saying, “Taint not thy mind” (1.5.92), telling him to not over think his plan because otherwise he will not pursue his vengeance. After Claudius warns Laertes to not get side tracked, the audience is reminded of King Hamlet’s ghost telling Hamlet to not over think because then their plans will not be pursued. This scene acts as a foil towards Hamlet because soon after the conversation, Laertes does pursue his plan of seeking vengeance, whereas Hamlet has been working on his plan the whole play, and has still not started to execute it.

He is 5’10” at 170 pound with a medium build but tone because he goes to the gym daily. His skin is a deep camel with a yellowish hue with craters on his face almost looking like freckles. A big bell pepper shaped nose with a thin but long beard. He dresses really shabby, a common outfit would include a boonie hat, a multi colored striped tank top, basketball shorts and battered tan working boots. He can pass as hippy being a laid back guy. Kendal has a positive and negative influence on others, he is very unsanitary and doesn’t know how to stay out of trouble on the other hand he’s a hard worker.

Reverend John Hale from Beverly, Massachusetts was summoned to Salem, a town full of supposed witches, manipulative children, a corrupt government, and depraved leaders, yet he takes on an impossible task of saving the wicked from themselves. Playwright Arthur Miller's 1950’s play, The Crucible, displays static character John Hale as a determined, willing, young man who stays true to his morals and remains righteous and compassionate throughout the work. Beginning to end, John Hale exhibits consistent traits as an eager and zealous individual, although at times ingenuous; additionally, Hale displays honesty and morality through the four Acts that complete his compassionate and trusting personality.

Both Dade and Julian where fixated on proving themselves right and defending their beliefs about

In the story of Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson (1886), the character Dr Henry Jekyll develops an alter ego called Mr Edward Hyde while trying to seperate the two consciences he believes everyone has inside of them. This Mr Hyde ego is the evil half of Dr Jekyll and performs horrendous acts like murder feeling no guilt, but when Dr Jekyll regains control of the body they share he is overcome with regret. This wonder about multiple consciences was popular at the time of the story’s writing with double personality being “one of the most widely discussed clinical disorders” (Armstrong 189). This essay will discuss the ‘reverse transformation’ found in the novel and how it was influenced by the thoughts of society in the time it was written.

Hamlet proves himself a temperamental, twisted character in William Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet. The Prince of Denmark conveys his facetious demeanor with his behavior and sharp tongue, especially in scenes with Ophelia and Gertrude. Although Hamlet’s situation is difficult and easily sympathized by viewers, his aggression should ultimately be focused on his murderous uncle.

He believes that it would be wrong to kill a woman, and as a result he chooses not to, even when pressured to do so. Another example of Jon’s kindness is when the Wildlings try to pressure him to kill an innocent man and Jon refuses. This results in Jon revealing that he is not truly part of the Wildlings and, as a result, almost loses his life. Once again, Jon puts his beliefs above his best

“To be, or not to be, that is the question,” (3.1.64). This famous line in William Shakespeare's Hamlet perfectly encapsulates Hamlet’s internal struggle throughout the play. Hamlet tells the story of the young prince of Denmark and his desire for revenge on the uncle, Claudius, who murdered his father. As is the case in many works of literature, Hamlet changes greatly throughout the play. However, because of his attempts to act insane, it can be difficult to precisely map the changes in Hamlet’s character. By carefully investigating his seven soliloquies, where he is alone and has no need to “put on an antic disposition,” one can understand and interpret how Hamlet’s character develops throughout the play.
