I was wrong about him. Even though I liked him so much I always thought that he was so stuck up, arrogant and full of shit. But I thought wrong. He’s actually this kind of guy who wouldn't let his friends take control of his decisions. He’s the kind of guy who doesn’t even know the movie called “Camp Rock” and all the other famous movies that even a five years old knows. He’s the kind of guy who is contented of what God has given him; His height. He is the guy who prioritize studying first before anything else. Well he’s talking to me right now while doing his presentation for tomorrow. Isn’t that the best guy ever? I mean a lot guys nowadays doesn’t do that anymore it’s either studying or playing but not a lot of guy can do both. Not a lot

Walking alone down the path, the wind blowing through the forest making the trees rustle. I looked up to the green leaves moving and the birds flying around Singing. I stop walking for a split second and I look around enjoying nature but then I hear a scream. I spin around multiple times to see where it came from, so I start to jog down the path quickening to a sprint. I turn my head in every direction not knowing what to do, so I start to walk again, breathing heavily and my feet crunching against the rocky path. I put my mind to the wind and the singing birds again. I get more relaxed when I started to feel rain falling against me. The sound of rain dripping, the birds singing and the wind rustling made me stop and think how peaceful life
Dave Berry defines guys by three distinguishing “guy characteristics”; these three characteristics are guys like neat stuff, guys like a really pointless challenge, and guys do not have a rigid and well-defined moral code. This is a short entertaining essay about what Dave believes make men, guys. Berry uses humor to poke fun at both men and women, and the stupid things we all do. Dave says guys like stuff that are “mechanical and unnecessarily complex”. This basically states that guys might only need a hammer to do the job, but will buy the nail gun with laser sites instead. Then Dave goes on that guys always want to one up the other guy, even if it is detrimental to someone’s health. Even when someone gets hurt, the winner will always
Joy changes her name to Hulga in “Good Country People” by Flannery O’Conner in order to change her perception of herself, her conflict being her identity. During Joy’s contemplation, she encounter the name Hulga because “she had a vision of the name working like the ugly sweating Vulcan who stayed in the furnace and to whom...the goddess had to come when called” (664). Joy sympathizes for Vulcan because the god also has a physical deformity; and just like Vulcan who’s the god of fire and forge, she’s forging an identity for herself that can be stated “her highest creative act” (665). It can be interpreted that Joy has forgiven herself for her disability and sees her leg as her backbone when “her mother had not been able to turn her dust into Joy” but rather “she had been able to turn it herself into Hulga;” she accepts her own beauty and realizes she’s beautiful (665). If Vulcan can be married to Venus, then she can be accepted into her own crowd, as she once said, “If you want me, here I am—LIKE I AM” (664).
The two main characters in the novel “Three Day Road” by Joseph Boyden; Xavier Bird and Elijah Weesageechack, have many key differences that are illustrated throughout the novel. Xavier is reserved and visceral, while Elijah is self-assured and talkative. Xavier was raised by his Aunt Niska for the Majority of his childhood, opposed to how Elijah was raised in Moose Factory by nuns at a residential school. These factors hold an important responsibility on their personalities and the way that they think and make decisions. The three key differences between them that are paramount to the story and the themes of the novel are; firstly their respect for their Oji-Cree culture, secondly their respect and love for human life, and lastly their
The Breakfast Club was a movie about five very different characters, Claire, Andrew, Brian, Allison, and John Bender. Claire was a popular girl, Andrew was a wrestler (jock), Brian was intellectually gifted, Allison was a basket case, and John Bender was a rebel. On the outside they seem like very different people, in fact they were all socially opposite, but they also shared so much.

In Good Country People, instead of using the mother and son characters, O’Connor uses the roles of a mother and her daughter to represent the differences in the old and new south. Similar to everything that Rises, The mother, Mrs. Hopewell, represents the old south, while her child represents the new south. Mrs. Hopewell is a single mother of the landowning class. She presents herself as well mannered and friendly to keep with in the Southern belle tradition, and similar to Julian’s mother, she also harbors feelings of supremacy.
Both Dade and Julian where fixated on proving themselves right and defending their beliefs about
Jonah Marais the most popular guy in school. He is also a bully to most freshmen and is known for it. Other than that he is the best looking guy in West Coast High School. He is athletic and really quite Hot, or so all the girls think, but he has one major flaw… he is a jerk. He is not only a bully to freshman, but you don’t want to get in his way even walking down the street. He will stop you and embarrass you in the middle of the mall but only if his friends are around. It’s like he is trying to show off or something. Most people think that he just tries to be tough around his friends, but it is really deeper than that. He is a senior this year and is moving out to L.A. for collage and apparently he is in a band now? There are others
In form, The Tall T is a fairly straightforward melodrama, utilizing familiar stock characters such as the ignoble swindler, the naïve woman, the “honorable” bandit leader, and—most importantly—the cowboy hero forced into the role of gunfighter and man of action by desperate circumstances. In these respects, The Tall T, though produced in 1957, is representative of the great mass of simplistic, histrionic films which constituted the majority of the Western genre output during the 1920s through the 1950s; the film is perhaps even an exemplar of the subgenre, as director Budd Boetticher most likely drew upon the most typical of the accumulated conventions of the B-Western for inspiration. Yet the final product does not transcend the subgenre
The raison d’etre of the Western is arguably to celebrate masculinity, but Brokeback Mountain is a revisionary Western that challenges definitions of masculinity. Discuss this statement with reference to Jane Marie Gaines’s and Charlotte Cornelia Herzog’s comments on the homoeroticism of the Western.
There are many personal characteristics that can affect a person as an individual and his professional success, namely openness, ability to learn and adapt etc. These personal characteristics can sometimes make a person successful and sometimes doesn’t. As I spend more and more time as a professional, I perceive that there are few characteristics that are essential for professional success: namely ambitious, creative and adaptable. These characteristics come out in many different ways. Have you set your goals? Have you decided the path you have to take to pursue your goal? What are the sacrifices you can do to achieve your ambition? How much can you think out of the box to resolve a particular issue or bring new idea to the table? How

My character has both opened and closed many doors for me in life. Most of the time you will see that I'm very laid back and relaxed. Independence is one of my key qualities. I never like to bother people with my problems because ultimately they're not always going to be there for you. I roam around in silence; being loud and obnoxious is not something that has ever given me much success in life. I try to conquer a healthy and happy lifestyle, but you know how that usually goes. I am pretty athletic I believe because I have put in so much hard work and dedicated even more time to football throughout my eighteen years of life. My life experiences have given me a rebellious trait. For example, whenever I get yelled at in football by Coach
