Jimmy Valentine Character Analysis

First, Tom has changed throughout the book. At the beginning of the book Tom was always telling some sort of lie. He lied about whitewashing the fence, his toe hurting, memorizing bible verses, taking the pills and much more. Towards the end of the book Tom is starting to realize he needs to be truthful. On the day of the murder trial Tom is asked to take the stand. He was as scared as a mouse getting chased by a cat. After a few minutes of talking and thinking Tom confesses the truth about the murder. Injun Joe was the one who killed Dr. Robinson! Another example of how Tom changed in the book is his kindness. After Tom brought up his old crush Amy, Becky was as mad as your mom when you don't clean your room. Tom tried to get her back but she didn't care. After awhile he didn't really care what she did. When Tom and Becky were stuck in the cave he confronted her and told her they would get out. He also took the blame for the ripped

Being courageous does not mean not feeling fear, but rather facing that feeling and choosing to act upon it with dignity. Many characters from the book Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card, portray acts of courage after being put into difficult and even dangerous situations. They did what they knew was right even if that meant letting go of what was familiar. Throughout the book Bean, Valentine Wiggin and Ender Wiggin are characters who stood out when it came to being courageous and showing bravery.

Jimmy Cross is the First Lieutenant who carries “the responsibility for the lives of his men” (O’Brien 429).

He does not change physically, but rather his thoughts and overall mentality. Towards the beginning of the story, Sanders, as the storyteller of the group, searches for the moral of a war story. He later realizes that a good war story lacks a moral and sometimes a story without commentary or explanation speaks for itself. This moment of realization is depicted when the narrator says, “In a true war story, if there’s a moral at all, it’s like the thread that makes the cloth...You can’t extract the meaning without unraveling the deeper meaning...True war stories do not generalize. They do not indulge in abstraction or analysis.” He realizes the true moral and purpose of a war story, and this adds to his development as a character because this gain in knowledge provides him with closure he needs to emotionally

As for Private Trip, I honestly don’t believe he went through any change, rather his inner personality was brought out of him. What do I mean by this? In the beginning of the film, it’s made very clear to the viewers that Private Trip is an arrogant, stubborn man. Yet as the plot progresses, you can slowly and gradually realize that deep down, he’s truly a caring person, with good intentions. A good example of this is when he goes AWOL, but gets caught. A short moment later, the viewers (and Colonel Shaw) find out that Trip only left to look for new shoes to replace the very badly conditioned shoes of his. When he get caught, he took the beating, rather than trying to get out of it by admitting that he was only trying to get some shoes. Why? Because again, on the outside, he is a stubborn man, and isn’t the kind of person who’d like someone to know his intentions, especially when they’re for a good cause.
