George Milton And Gigi Jordan Character Analysis

The character I would like to have as a friend from the book POP is Marcus Jordan. Marcus has just moved to Kennesaw, New York in and I can relate to that because I have moved a few times. But the main reason that I would like to have him as a friend is three character traits he has. These three character traits are courage, resilience, and he is caring of his friends.

In the book “To Kill A Mockingbird” written by Harper Lee is based in a small town in Maycomb county in the year 1933 during the great depression.Which is also at a time where racial tensions are high.From the title”To Kill A Mockingbird “ we have gathered that the mockingbird symbolizes innocence, peace and how it is a sin to kill a Mockingbird.

Many of us readers would agree that after reading Tim O’Brien’s “In the Lake of the Woods” we find John Wade’s behavior more than unusual as he would do some unusual things such as burning plants with boiling water while saying “Kill Jesus”, and have flashbacks. Most readers would wonder how a psychologist would diagnose John Wade. Based on his behavior, John Wade would probably be diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a severe anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to any life-threatening event which results in psychological trauma. Wade’s diagnoses would affect O’Brien’s implicit argument as anyone that has a perfect or normal life can be ruined by PTSD.

Something similar to this happened to millionaire Gigi Jordan. She was asked multiple questions when on trial for killing her son, and one of those was if she had given her “… son an amount of drugs that [she] believed would take [her] life and his?’ ‘Yes, I did,’ Jordan testified.” (Rosenberg). Jordan did this because she thought that it would relieve her son of his pain, and that if she follows him in death she would still be with him. In this trial she said that one reason she had taken her son’s life was because he had experienced physically and mentally abuse by his birth father and many others, and she wanted to stop his pain. Lennie had also been in a similar situation to Jordan’s son. When he was being hit by Curley he did not do anything to retaliate, and this was because of his mental illness. Something in his brain did not kick in to tell him to fight back. In this case this counts as physical abuse, because Curley has physically harmed Lennie. When George had Lenny sit down before he would shoot Lennie, he has decided that he would do this to keep Lennie from further harm. This is just as Jordan did and is classified as murder, so what George has done to his friend should be classified as so

“The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure” (57). Two men that lived for their passion for adventure was Chris McCandless and Jay Moriarity. Chris McCandless was a young man who hitched hike to Alaska to explore and survive in the wilderness. Jay Moriarity was a young surfer who was determined to ride Mavericks, the largest waves. Chris's story was heard by a man named Jon Krakauer and Chris's story was developed and published into a novel for the world to hear, which got controversial feedback. Although both seem to come from very different lifestyles and had different pursuits for adventure, both share many qualities such as home life, preparation for goals, and the willingness to let people be there for them.

Imagine a four year old, who moves across the pacific to an allegedly heaven-like place expecting to find a better life, but soon comes to find that things are not as carefree as her parents told her. Young Ju, the protagonist in An Na’s novel “A Step From Heaven” is that four year old. Hopeful to start a better life in a place she sees as heaven, she is let down by the realities of the world around her as she is torn apart by her parents abusive and toxic relationship.

It is wrong no matter what the situation , he technically committed assisted suicide, and that should be punished. Killing someone with a smaller IQ is extremely wrong, and should be punished for sure because even though they may be suffering the little things in life will make it worth it. Also, committing assisted suicide is never correct and should never be done, even though doctors do it, that doesn't make it right, and people need to understand that. Even though George thought he was doing the right thing it was obvious that he really wasn't. Readers need to understand that a crime is a crime and there is no sugar coating it, if someone commits a crime, then they should be punished no matter what. It doesn't matter if the person is ill, has a mental issue, or is even has problems in their life, there are other ways to solve the issue. But honestly, if someone was ever in a situation like George was, they would probably do the same thing George did. They would feel alone and afraid, and probably wouldn't be able to think of anything else to do. But they can learn from George’s mistake and take a deep breath and take some time to think about a

Rivalry can be playful and good natured, but it isn’t always this way. Rivalry and competition can help individuals grow as a person, and help them to develop into mature adults. Competition can be a motivator to do better. It can also lead to vast destruction, and severed friendships. Rivalry in this case is unhealthy, the overall outcome of the story proves this. Finny and Gene didn’t really have a ‘healthy’ rivalry or competition. Their relationship wasn’t healthy, and it eventually leads to the death of Finny. In “A Separate Piece” by John Knowles the rivalry between two friends turns unhealthy very quickly. The competition and rivalry between the two friends is destructive, it destroys their friendship,

Gigi Jordan is a woman who believed that when she killed her son Jude Jordan she was protecting him. Jude was repeatedly sexually assaulted and abused by his adoptive father and Jordan’s ex-husband Raymond Mirra, his wife and two babysitters. It was said that Jude was sexually assaulted, abused and quote “had shoved feces in his mouth, stuck needles under his fingernails, and stabbed him in the hand repeatedly in addition to sexual abuse,”(Rosenberg). Gigi Jordan generally believed she was sparing her son’s life when she ended both her son’s physical and mental pain, in comparison George believed he was doing the same for Lennie. George shot Lennie in the back of the head because he was afraid of what the future might hold for him, repeating Curley, “I’m gonna get him. I'm going for my shotgun. I’ll kill the big-son-of-a-bitch myself. I’ll shoot him in the guts,”(Steinback 96). Jordan murdered her son to protect him just as George was doing to Lennie. However, there were better alternatives to making her son's life more tolerable for both of them. Going to court for a restraining order against all of the people who abused him would have had a better outcome, compared to the loss of her child. Though it is understandable why both George and Gigi ended the lives of people they cared about, it is not acceptable to take someone’s life without their permission

After all the evidence is shown, it is easy to see that George saved Lennie from more suffering than what he experienced. Every option would have lead down a dark and painful road, even though killing Lennie must have been hard, it was the right thing for George to do. Lennie was already at the end of his road and it is good that George was the one to do it. Works Cited Leupo, Kimberly. “The History of Mental Illness.”

In Fahrenheit 451, the characters Clarisse McClellan and Mildred Montag play a major role in the story; although they are important characters, they are metaphorically opposites because of the events that take place before and after the book Fahrenheit 451. Mildred is Guy Montag’s wife, but throughout the story it is questioned why they even ended up together; Montag gives an example about Mildred’s opinion on “the smell of kerosene” stating that “my wife always complains.” (Bradbury Pg.6) The reason this is brought up is because Guy works as a fireman, not to be confused with a firefighter, a fireman set fires rather than stopping them. In a conversation with Clarisse, she says “it’s just that I love to watch people too much I guess” (Bradbury

A young autistic kid named Jude’s father “had shoved feces in his mouth, stuck needles under his fingernails, and stabbed him in the hand repeatedly in addition to sexual abuse” (Rosenberg). Jude had been facing abuse from his adoptive father, his mother’s ex-boyfriend, his wife and two babysitters for his entire life. His mother shot him in order to keep him from safe from maltreatment. Lennie was never harmed as badly as this autistic kid was for his disability. However, if George did not shoot Lennie himself he would have been put through much pain and suffering.

Many have underwent the appalling experience of dealing with intruding siblings, ignorant parents, and loud sleeping-over cousins from Ohio. All of these people, however, are people that must be dealt with. Who in their right mind would bide with a character that would drive them nuts even though they know it is the best possible situation for that someone? That out-of-their-right-minded individual would be George Milton in John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men. George Milton and Lennie Smalls are two friends and nomads trying to make their ultimate dream of owning their own land and being their own bosses come true. There is a bit of a problem in this goal, however. Lennie is learning disabled, causing it to be essential for George to keep a nonstop eye on him. Some believe George is unnecessarily harsh towards Lennie in means of words and actions, and that the tragic ending of George shooting Lennie in the back of the head to evade a more violent death could have been avoided. Later on, George justifies his “harsh” actions by doing his best and giving Lennie the best life and death

In “The Journey to the West,” the monk was accompanied by Pigsy, the Sha Monk, the Handsome Monkey King, and the horse. Each of these supporting characters possess a certain magical ability that assisted the monk on his journey, additionally they had their own flaws. This contrasts the monk, which has no magical ability and was devoted buddhism. The strengths, weaknesses, and backgrounds of these supporting characters encapsulate the idea of buddhism throughout the novel, and by including them and Xuanzang the book is able to summarize the idea of buddhism.
