*One of the themes of “The Glass Castle” is that, although you might have a horrible and hard childhood, it doesn’t mean you’ll stay that way. Jeannette had gone through so many things, but because she tried her very best to get out of her struggle she now succeeds in life.

The Palace Thief, a short story written by Ethan Canin, explains the bond through the narrator communications. The interactions with the characters demonstrate the character's personalities, experiences and the family shapes of individuals selfhood. The narrator of the story mainly focuses on the twist of an individual character. In this essay, I'm going to go over the relationships and correlations of characters William Hundert (Mr. Hundert), the three-year teacher at St. Benedict Academy, Charles Ellebry, who went against Mr. Hundert for teaching duties, Sedgewick Bell, who was a very clever student, and Senator Bell, who was a powerful demagogue.

Throughout the book, The Chosen, there are four major qualifying characters for the role of “The Chosen One”. David Malter is the father of Reuven Malter, and is an active Zionist. Reb Saunders is the father of Danny Saunders, and doesn’t talk to his son with the hopes of teaching him compassion. Reuven is Danny’s friend, and is a bridge among all the characters. Danny becomes friends with Reuven after hitting him in the eye with a softball, and also works with David in the library in secrecy. While all these characters have major roles, only one can be crowned with the winning title. Reuven Malter is “the chosen one”. Through the development of the character, Reuven, we see a sheltered young boy learn to find compassion in his heart all

Mr. Hundert realized that Sedgewick was cheating, so he gives him a question that’s not in the course’s material so that he is penalized for his wrongdoing. Furthermore, this act can also be seen as justice. Additionally, justice can be seen when the older Mr. Hundert and Sedgewick were talking in the bathroom. Mr. Hundert was speaking poorly of Sedgewick and asking him questions on why he would cheat, once again. This forced Sedgewick to say his real, unjust feelings about the “real world,” not knowing that his child was in the stall, close by. Although Mr. Hundert did not know the child was nearby, he tried to persuade Sedgewick to think in a morally good way, but it ultimately failed. Lastly, honesty is shown at the end of the movie when the second Mr. Caesar ended. Mr. Hundert runs into Martin, and he lets him know that he was supposed to be competing for Mr. Caesar, which breaks Martin’s heart. From this movie, one can see that Mr. Hundert is a man that teaches many virtues, but his teachings have been inflicted by trying to help a man by the name of Sedgewick

Shakespeare wrote many plays during his lifetime, but possibly none as complex and busy as Richard III. It is an intricate play where many different characters are portrayed in many different roles. One of those characters is the Duke of Buckingham, a villain and for the majority of the play the trusted accomplice for Richard. In almost every scene in which Buckingham was portrayed, he proved himself to be a rebellious villain over and over. As a rebel, he fought as a revolutionist, craving a change of events for self-seeking power. Buckingham exemplifies the definition of a revolutionist rebel because of his willingness to be part of a revolution in order to change his surroundings and increase his own eminence. He followed through with almost every plan given to him by Richard to accomplish his purposes until the final order to kill the young princes.
