How To Read The Bfg

2. In the overall effect of the book the character descriptions assist you to better understand the boys’ personalities, strengths, and weaknesses.

It’s sometimes easy to forget what it’s like to feel a certain way: to feel like a child again, to feel in tune with nature, or just to feel anything at all. With reading, we can “see ourselves in the other and the other in ourselves” (Deresiewicz 161). We can relate and trace a fictional character’s life as parallel to our own, which fulfills our own lives to a greater degree. Reading stories allows us to rekindle past memories and ignite deep relationships with characters that writers have skillfully crafted before our eyes. From Briony’s naivety and annoying presence as a little sister in Atonement, to the inferiority and flawed experiences felt by Nel in Sula, I can easily relate to many characters of literature. Doing so develops our capacity to realize that other perspectives exist. To know that you are not alone in this journey called life provides us with a reassuring message that we as people can face struggles in life together. It is this empathy that keeps us connected on an emotional

My favorite character in the book is Janner Wingfeather. A reason that Janner is my favorite character in the book is that he is like me in many ways. He is the oldest of the three Wingfeather children and he is always looking out for his siblings. Janner sometimes feels like he is weighed down by his siblings and that in his words “I don’t want to spend my life fretting over Tink and Leeli, following two little kids around fussing over them like an old woman and wasting my life!” I am the oldest of four siblings (and twelve cousins) and often feel as if they are a burden. I also am always being told to set a good example for my siblings and cousins and to play with them. This is one way I am similar to Janner and a reason that he is my favorite character in this book.

Personally, I relate to the main character, Stargirl, the most. I learned about her character throughout the book and sympathize with her individuality. As a teenager myself, it is tough to be original and learn how to develop personal independence. Stargirl is not bothered by her peer’s negative comments and I can relate. Furthermore, Stargirl likes to satisfy others and keep them happy. I have four sisters and I also can understand how she feels. I also relate to Stargirl because I tend to help others out. I do not like seeing people alone or sad. For example, I transferred to Saint Margaret Mary from Susquehanna Township. The first week was difficult socially. It is not a great situation to be in, and like Stargirl, I try to help individuals out like Dori Dilson. To conclude, Stargirl and I are similar because we both enjoy life and rather give than

He always has a new story to tell about his past life or his history learnings on the war. Both of them speak with emphasis and are extremely wise about their knowledge. It made me think of other ways that those two could be similar. They both had a tough childhood, but it influenced them to be the great people they end up being. When I find a good book, I am unable to stop reading it, spending hours and hours at one time reading it. I connected myself to Lily in this way when she thought that book have meant something to her during her times of stress. Just like her, books bring me into a fantasy world.

One character, Adam, deals with crisis and problems with anger. If something made him sad or scared he turned that into pure hatred and rage. This was a good characteristic because this rage was able to make him almost over come with this mysterious power. Also Adam cares about other in crisis. In the book he ran around campus tell everyone to get to the science block. Even when everyone else had given up he was life to save everyone he could. Adam also work well under pressure. When the Infected tried to break through the boards, he was the one

There are many reasons why readers like the creature and sympathise with him although he makes some mistakes. First, they learn that the monster is rejected by his own creator because of his appearance, so they feel mercy for him

A deformed child, college rebel, and struggling author; quiet in nature yet rebellious in action. For one man to embody all of these things is more than intriguing.

He loved to create complex stories and characters to challenge one’s own imagination. Baum’s creativity carried him to be able to bring the fantasy into reality. People acknowledged Baum’s talent, and they respected him for what he gave to children’s pleasure (Hearn)

The secound reason I found him interesting is because he does some pretty surprising things for egsample at the end of the story when he lies down and grabs a lemon and takes massive bites out of it and says I don't want to miss a thing in all my life. Not many people enjoy taking bites out of lemons but this boy just enjoys everything he does and lives life to the fulleset. He also surprisingly enjoys the nasty stench of pigs, as he bike past them on the way to rugby the boy says “ Pigs poo. It makes you want to laugh and shout it's such a

In many forms of entertainment that has a story to it, there are characters with complex and confusing personalities and traits. This is what gives movies, books, videos, and other forms of entertainment their base. These traits also cause people to become attached to a specific character or group of characters. These traits, personalities, and qualities of characters aren’t always thoroughly explained as to why a character is this way. A character is formed from their drive, emotions, and for the most part, their past experiences. Most characters aren’t created to be a certain way, rather they were made that way by things that have happened in their past, and how it affects them. There are many examples of this throughout

Simply because of the way he has connected the two books while using many literary devices such as foreshadowing. Some of the foreshadowing hints at the next book which intruges me to read more and know how he will make the two storylines intertwined like the present

Connecting to this story was a bit hard but then I started thinking about what the story was about and then I concluded what my connection was to the book. I connect to this story because our society today is always worrying about the way we look and how we can look better. People are way too preoccupied with how we look when we should be worrying about others and the way we act. Self confidence is way different. I connected also to this book with a movie called “The Hunger Games” because both show a possible future to the human race because if we keep acting poorly to others or toward our world. What we are doing now can affect the world or others later. I also connected to this book because I have a friend that is very rebellious and I thought

He is especially interesting because he is a toon and he wears bright, cheerful clothes which mean he is happy and cheerful. We first see him when he is on set and he acts quite carless. Roger and Valiant are the characters you see the most and most of the interesting things happen to them. In the last scene he is tied up with Jessica and the camera angle was close because you could see how panicked and worried they were.
