Professor Crawford Character Analysis

This realistic fiction novel, by Edward Bloor, describes the problems and relationships that Paul discovers when unlocking the meaning of truth, no matter the obstacles people put up to block him from it.

Every character has a journey-whether physical or psychological- that molds them into who they are. Personal characteristics create a steering wheel for the journey. Positive traits, which could steer them on the straight and narrow path; or negative traits, which could steer them down the beaten path.

In “Young Goodman Brown”, the main character, Goodman Brown, faces two options on his journey- to continue the paved, safe, well-known path or to veer off into the mysterious, unfamiliar woods.
