like ok heres my example: in 2011 bro strider was in like, my top 3 favorite homestuck characters. back when the people who thought the strider strifes were not metaphorical stylized video game fantasy-violence, but actual domestic violence, were a very quiet minority. and bro was a very popular character. even though he had no canon dialogue and we knew very little about him, there was a fanon bro who was charismatic and endearing and a good, responsible, loving guardian. that was the character i liked. and now in 2016, i still love that character, but i have no love in my heart for bro strider the homestuck character. its been made 100% explicitly canonically clear how he treated dave and the affect that had on daves developing psyche. i

All our personalities compare to a character from Lord of the Flies, and I found myself to be an ENFP or an idealist; someone most comparable to Simon. An ENFP or an idealist personality displays characteristics of being extroverted, intuitive, feeling and perceiving which. Furthermore, passionately concerned with positive improvement, being kind, warm, sympathetic, distracted and motivated were all trait described in the personality test for the ENFP. Due to our selflessness, how introverted and extroverted we are, and how we can think both logically and emotionally, makes Simon and I most similar.
Homer Hickam Sr. is the most influential person towards his son, nicknamed Sonny, because his negativity motivates him to strive to do better. Homer Hickam Sr. is not supportive of Sonny's aspirations to build a rocket. Homer's negativity makes Sonny to strive to work harder in order to prove his father wrong. Homer exclaims, "'This is the end of it' he said over his shoulder as he shook out the last bag of saltpeter, 'and this time I mean it. Collect stamps, catch frogs, keep bugs in a jar, do whatever you want. But no more rockets'" (Hickam Jr. 95). Sonny uses Homer's negative and invalidating views on rockets to motivate himself to show his father that he can be a success at building rockets. Instead of stopping, he perseveres and continues

In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, a group of British boys suddenly become stranded on an island, all alone, forced to form their own social system.

The character Piggy demonstrates the benefits and limits of intelligence in maintaining civil order.
Christopher Reeve once said, "A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles." (“Christopher Reeve.”) The quote is remarkable. The strong and mighty Superman spoke it himself…but nowhere in the quote does it say that a hero must be strong and mighty like Superman was. This quote can apply to anybody, evident by its use of the word “ordinary”. Throughout the semester, I had the opportunity to develop an opinion on what I would consider a ‘strong female character.’ Eventually, one teenage female came to mind. Her name is Callie and she appears on the popular television series, The Fosters. Even though many may say that Callie is an irrational teenager because of her choices,
In Ken Kesey’s novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, the nurse Miss Ratched is a fine example of a realistic fictional villain. Possession of three key components is essential in identifying what makes Miss Ratched a villian. Motive is what drives the villain to commit the very acts that allow them to be considered evil in the first place, and often drive their entire being as a character. While they must possess motive, they must also have a sense of morals that coincides with their motives (typically evil, or distorted) and follow their moral compass in a way that often causes trouble for those around them. Additionally, a villain is frequently associated with their opposite; the hero who combats them. Kesey’s character perfectly aligns with these three categories of what makes a villain, and it is unquestionable that she is the villain of the novel.
When Ralph realizes that he is on what resembles Ballatyne's Coral Island, he is thrilled, casting off his clothes in a gesture symbolic of his rejection of the restrictions of the life at the boys' school from which he has been evacuated. But, it is the voice of reason in Piggy, who immediately is concerned that order be established. However, he is ineffectual at creating this order because of his physical appearance--he has thinning hair like an older man, and also more like an older man, he is fat--and because it is Ralph who finds the conch and blows it, summoning the other boys. Moreover, Ralph seems more suited to the role of leader because he is "the golden boy," handsome, confident, and appealing as a model to the others, while Piggy is intimidated by the appearance of the red-haired Jack Merridew, leader of the choir in his formidable black uniform.
When left to themselves without laws or consequences for their actions, humans reveal an ugly and chaotic side of themselves. This horrid side of humans is ultimately lead by Sigmund Freud’s concept of the human ID, which describes the evil and twisted side of the human mind. This concept of inevitable anarchy due to a lack of laws is exhibited in William Golding’s novel, Lord of The Flies. Through notable characters such as Jack, Roger, Ralph, and Piggy, Golding elucidates how even once civilized, people can immediately change based on their environment. The lack of a strong government and strict laws leads these boys into an ultimate anarchic war which threatens their survival and their chances of getting rescued from the island. Multiple characters such as Piggy, get killed due to this lack and inability of the boys to follow 18th century philosopher, Cesare Beccaria’s, belief of a strong judicial system to hold people accountable for their actions. The boys responsible for Piggy’s death (Roger and other hunters) are simply let go without any punishments or consequences. Eventually, this barbarous and savage war almost leads to the island being devastated by a fire created by Jack’s tribe to capture Ralph for simply trying to bring back law to the island. Fortunately, the boys are saved by a naval officer who was able to spot the large bonfire. Although the boys try their best to implement Cesare Beccaria’s idea of a strong judicial system to have effective consequences

The cardiovascular system, composed of the heart and blood vessels, is the vehicle through which oxygenation and nutrient-rich blood is transported throughout the body and metabolic waste is carried to the excretory organs. There are several age-related changes in the system, but these have little or no effect on the lives of the healthy older adults. However, by the time one is in later life, the choices made earlier in life, e.g., smoking (although Mrs. Watts was not seen smoking, she was exposed to the second-hand smoke from her daughter-in-law’s smoking. The effects of second-hand smoke coupled with the expected changes that come with aging could result in the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Both the prevalence and incidence of
I have decided to focus my paper on season one of This Is Us. This Is Us is a television series that aired for the first time in late 2016 on NBC, which is also the production of the show. The show is a family drama about the Pearson’s. A family that has struggles, but they are always there for one another. The Pearson’s tell their story through flashbacks in between their present day journey.

“ As I am now, I am no wife for you”(Ibsen 887) This statement is from Henrik Ibsen’s play, A Doll House, is a play based in 1879, and it sets the tone of the remainder of the story. Ibsen seems to be making a statement that women need to mature and be independent before they have a family of their own. All of the women in this play leave their loved ones behind to gain their independence. Ibsen’s statement and character portrayal helps make Ibsen’s play take on feminist characteristics. Ibsen’s play shows that women must mature and be independent before they are ready to have a family. This is exemplified through Nora, minor characters such as Krogstad’s wife and the Nurse, and Christine. With this being one of the major themes
