Leighanna Leigh Character Analysis

In the short story “Choices” by Susan Kerslake and in the poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost, are two examples of literature which are similar to my experience.

If someone was asked the question “What is an American?”, how would he or she respond? Many might consider an American to be a person from the United States. However, some may discover a deeper meaning to this question and answer in a less literal way. The stories read in class from Unit One help the public to answer this puzzling question. Their description of American history gives insight about what the land was founded upon. Some impressions of the past are still seen in modern America. The common value of freedom by the Pilgrims, Olaudah Equiano, and fictional Rebecca Nurse in The Crucible and their need to fight for what they believe in, makes them very persistent people. When the Puritan Pilgrims and the slave Equiano came to America,

“No one loses their innocence. It is either taken away or given willingly” Tiffany Madison. A person’s innocence and freedom should be theirs to hold and control, but that is not always the way things unfold. Conviction flaws, poor evidence, and the social responses to these flaws are all involved and present in the cases of Paula Gray and Keith Allen Harward, as new evidence thirty years after they were imprisoned comes to light.

In U.S. history the roles of society were decide by gender, men’s role was mostly the same throughout history, but the women’s role changed slowly over time. There was many women who were fighting to change their roles and one such woman is Anne Marbury Hutchinson. In “Divine Rebel” Selma R. Williams tells the story of Anne Hutchinson, who was a Puritan woman of the late 1500s, and researched informations was hard to find. She was often described as a woman who did not fit the ideal woman mold and she did nothing to force herself into such a mold. Anne Hutchinson is described differently in the textbook that was assigned to our class as well as a few similarities. Anne Hutchinson may

One person I would choose to be if I had to pick fictional or nonfictional, is Jessica Day, or Jess, from the T.V. show, New Girl. Jess has this certain personality that would clash with mine in a positive outlook. In the show, Jess is a teacher for elementary kids, and that I find pretty substantial. I remember when I was younger, I suggested to be a teacher as one of my professions and Jess was basically who I wanted to be when I first witnessed the show. She’s simple in the way her life is structured and how she decides to decipher her decisions. Jess’s personality--to me, I consider her bubbly, outgoing and somewhat blunt, or straight to the point.

Ms. Nancy Mairs, an accomplished and a renowned linguist, describes how she views herself with multiple sclerosis. Mairs presents herself as an extremely confident and proud woman who does not back down from her so-called “disability”. By explicitly calling herself a “cripple” Mairs is showing her audience that she is a strong woman who has come to terms with her condition and is now explaining it to others.

The Vietnam War was a perplexing, unjustified conflict where both historians and the media over-generalized service members’ experiences. They constantly failed to speak for all people with firsthand combat experience and focused solely on the male’s perspective. Lynda Van Devanter, a former member of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps (ANC) and Vietnam veteran was the first woman who educated America on the female’s position during the Vietnam War and systematically destroyed the stereotype of an undamaged, inessential Vietnam nurse. Contrary to popular belief, the Vietnam War distorted the mentality of both men and women who served overseas, according to Devanter. Historians and the media, rather than acknowledging the Vietnam Nurses’ distinct perspective as a key element of the morally ambiguous altercation, they focused solely on male veteran experiences and failed to accurately portray the war. By changing the subject of Vietnam War stories through her forthright memoir, Home Before Morning, Devanter wrote about the fallacious stereotypes nurses

I believe Ruthie’s vision is ‘20/20’. I think that she is trying to make the journey more pleasant for her and for Bill. As “she [is] from rural Ohio and thrilled to death to be anywhere else,” she uses her imagination. She is “capable of seeing wonderful things.” For example, she says that she sees a Bigfoot when in reality she is seeing reflectors nailed to a tree stump. She is just trying to have fun as she almost never gets to be anywhere else besides rural Ohio. She also proves that she is an observer. On the other hand, Bill is not even paying much attention to what is happening on the sides of the road. “Bill rested his eyes while she cruised along making the occasional announcement…,” this quote proves that Bill is not an observer and

Jayla is certainly more capable in terms of her cognitive development as a result of her experiences in college. Instead of a blind faith based on the convictions and commitments of her family members and fellow church members, she now can choose freely what her beliefs and values are because of her own life experience, which have been tried and tested by her own experiences. Not that experience is always the best teacher in every circumstance, but certainly in matters of faith, one can only live what one truly believes. The trials and questions of life will surely expose what Jayla truly believes. She would find it hard to maintain her former absolute thinking as she entered the world as a professional, intellectual and independent thinker.

During high school, I did not have an abundance of friends. Although I had a joyful and uplifting mentality, the secular culture of public school deterred me from indulging in a vast array of friendships. I had a tough time trusting people who had the vocabulary of a sailor and refused to believe in God. However, towards the end of my senior year, I came across an admirable African American lady named Donneisha Floyd. Donneisha relates to me because she loves to work out, enjoys spending quality time with her friends, attends church, values her family, and most of all, she communicates with intentionality and reminds me of God’s plan for my future. She does this even during personal stress, pain, or heartache, which I find as an incredible
