The first thing I noticed in "The Painted Door." (1) How much John loved Ann. I feel he showed, his love, in a different way then Ann wanted, (she felt lonely and disconnected) she wanted attention.

The man she had called was, Mr. Pignati, also known as “The Pigman.” Lorraine explained that herself and John was a charity and was asking for money. This man lived on the street over from John and Lorraine and said he would give them ten dollars.

Her way of life differs from most, which is what makes her out to be such a unique individual.

George and Lennie, despite the arguing, are the best of friends in “Of Mice and Men.” As they travel from ranch to ranch for jobs, Lennie usually gets himself into trouble which causes them to have to pick up and leave.

A person may find someone likeable for many different reasons. Maybe the person is charismatic and loyal, honest and humble, grateful and trustworthy. The likability of the protagonist in Daniel Defoe’s novel, Robinson Crusoe, is often called into question by many of its readers. The story starts with the protagonist, Robinson Crusoe, leaving home against his father’s wishes to voyage across the sea. But misfortune fell upon this voyage in the form of a great storm. During this storm, Crusoe prays to God, saying that if He saved him, Crusoe would serve him for the rest of his life. This storm caused Crusoe and his shipmates to abandon ship and watch it fonder. He survived, forgot his promise to God, was deemed bad luck by the captain and the crew, and was directed to never again board a ship. Ignoring this, Crusoe boarded another ship, on which he and the crew were captured by pirates and sold as slaves. He was a slave for three years before he escaped with another slave named Xury. They are then saved by a Portuguese captain, who keeps Xury and takes Crusoe to Brazil. There Crusoe lives a life similar to what his father wanted for him, a simple yet content life. He at first vowed to never sail again, but after getting better acquainted with his neighbor, he was persuaded to travel to Africa with his neighbor to bring slaves, free of cost, back to their farms, breaking this vow. But he proves to, again, be bad luck. The ship crashes and Crusoe is the only man to survive. Through all this, and more, Crusoe proves himself to be inconsiderate, selfish, inhumane, and ungrateful, all unlikable traits.
