Nathan Gardner Character Analysis

I observed Aaron at school and at home for his social and emotional development. Socially Aaron is able to interact with the children appropriately to his age. I noticed that he does have friends and is not isolated at recess. He plays with children his own age and is included in the activities on the playground. Aaron has no problems expressing his feeling toward the

Scott changed the most because he went from being really shy at the beginning and then he got tougher and stopped the people that were bullying him. During the year this other kid named Vernon was bullying him since Scott got to the high school.

1. Pay attention to Nick's judgments. What do they reveal about his character that he does this (especially in relation to his opening comments)?

It wasn’t until Nathan started going to W.E. Waters when his views changed on his priorities. Being around his “own people” distracted him from seeing what his true goal in life was. Now, instead of focusing on his education, he instead focused on the latest trends and worried about fitting into the social scene believing that he “had to work on getting [his]

After talking to a teammate during lunch, Nick decides to give them a chance. The ways Nick changes in the excerpt are: he learns to work as a team, he becomes less selfish, and learns the true value of friendship. To begin Nick changes by learning how to work as a team. The author writes, “There is nothing more I like more than creating in open court, and Trent had become a dream finisher.” (Deuker)

As Nathan was treated poorly throughout the story I really saw him forgive his wife time and time again throughout the book. After the death of Nathan and Ruth’s daughter Ariel their relationship was tested to the max. Ruth would isolate herself from her husband and she almost despised him for not being upset with the Lord. Ruth could not accept how Nathan turned to God because she blamed God for all of this. While Nathan was being ignored, looked as bad, or just despised by his wife, he did not fold in and say whatever I give up. Nathan had an understanding and forgiving mindset he understood why his wife felt like this. Nathan forgave his wife while she was in the progress of despises him. Nathan never acted this way towards her, he simply turned the other cheek. Nathan showed a great will power by being able to forgive his wife so easily. This spoke volumes because he simply lived his life in a forgiving manner. As Nathan showed his faith and forgiveness through the story I saw a true man of God. Nathan lived in such a way where he could forgive people for the things they did and this was because of how strong he was in his faith. Living a life like Nathan means to live a life for God. A true man of God allowed for Nathan to live a very purposeful life.

Born in Mississippi in 1936, his father died when he was a child, where he then moved to Memphis Tennessee in 1940. The third out of ten children, Marion and his siblings worked multiple jobs at a young age to help family make ends meet; jobs included delivery boy, picking cotton, and bagging groceries. Experiencing culture shock moving from a rural area to an urban area, adapting to the city life was a challenge.

Goes through physical changes at this age, as this happens they become more mature, and as they begin to show interest and skills in different subjects as their confidence grows through communicating effectively with adults.

When Huck decides to runaway is a prime example. This was earlier on before all of his developing but without making this choice he may have not changed for the better. Huck always had his father running away when Huck was young so he was used to it, and him running away seemed to Huck like the easiest and most sensible thing to do (Twain 23). Even though that was early on, Huck still had some of that nurture in him at the end of the novel. He saw Jim hurting when he was chained up and he didn’t like what they were doing to him at all but he just stood by and watched because he was afraid of how he may have been punished for interfering (Twain

Through the events of his daydream, one could say he’s a dynamic character. But did he really develop? What were the changes to him? How did they come about?

He/she may have a strong sense of identity, but its for the wrong age group, which may be why he/she may have feelings of Isolation. The important event of the stage of development I think he/she is going through is Love Relationships.

made him get bullied by his cousins.but as he got older he learned how to deal with his speech

He didn't attend high school at the age his peers did early on in his life. He was sort of treated unfair and disrespected at times. He was unable to communicate well, he only had the ability to communicate using basic language but cannot read or write (Radio 2003 film). Within the film it shows how before he met and became close to Coach Jones, he never interacted with his peers or anybody else beside his mother. Always was picked on,

The name Nathan in Hebrew means “to give” and this can be seen as “to give life to”, or “the giver of life” which would be a good way to characterize Nathan because he is creating new life in the form of artificial intelligent people. Nathan is asked by Caleb in the film “Why did you make Ava?” and Nathan’s response was “Why wouldn’t you if you could?”. This is important to the film because it shows Nathan’s power as an inventor to create whatever he wants, and creating Ava was a means to show off his ability. This can be related to the Bible in which we may ask “Why did God create us?”. But the difference is that God did not create us to show off his abilities, he created us to love and do his work on earth. Nathan created Ava simply because he could do so, not out of love or motivation to create a better world. Nathan starts to view himself as a higher power as the film goes along and he says to Caleb, “You know, I wrote down that other line you came up with. The one about how if I've invented a machine with consciousness, I'm not a man, I'm a God”. As the film goes along Nathan starts to consider himself a God, without Caleb or Ava thinking of him like that, and in ancient scripture and throughout history when someone viewed themselves as a God it foreshadowed a bad ending for them. The audience starts to see Nathan change as the experiment continues on and start to treat Caleb as his pet or less of a
