5. Quotes: One night after a day of thievery, Rudy attempts to steal a kiss from Liesel. She tells him that he disgusts her, trying to hold back her true feelings. While saying goodbye after the awkward walk home, Rudy says to Liesel, “Good night, book thief” (Zusak 202). This is the first time anyone has ever called her that. She likes the nickname so much, she uses it as the title for her life’s story. She may not realize it, but the night she officially gets her title is the true beginning of her career as “the book thief.” This launches a major turning point in the book, in which she starts to feel more comfortable about stealing. It gives her a sense of emancipation from the prison that is her life. That feeling of liberation is amplified

Markus Zusak's The Book Thief contains many memorable characters. However, the character that is the most memorable is Rosa Hubermann because she has a very distinct personality.

Lorraine Hansberry’s play, A Raisin in the Sun, depicts the lives of the Younger family, an African American family living in the Southside of Chicago during the 1950s. The play takes place in their cramped apartment offering the reader insight into the arguments, discussions, and conversations that take place between the characters. In one scene, Hansberry specifically offers the reader a conversation between Asagai, an influential companion, and Beneatha to show us how disparate the Younger siblings, Beneatha and Walter, are. As Asagai looks at Beneatha, he sees “what the New World has finally wrought.” Similarly, Beneatha takes a look at Walter and says, “Yes, just look at what the New World hath finally wrought” with an enraged

In the novel, All the Broken Pieces, by Ann E. Burg, Matt makes a comparison between himself and his brother when he defines his brother as “summer” and himself as “fall”. This metaphor can be explained not only by their physical features, but their emotional and mental characteristics as well. His brother features summer and hasn’t faced any misery, while he himself looks like fall and has come across atrocious things.

In life people have ups and downs; the characters in A Raisin in the Sun experience many highs and many lows. Throughout the story there are many decisions that the characters toss around and debate. Mama, the mother of the family, receives $10,000 which is a very large sum of money for their family. It is up to Mama to decide where the money should go. The Characters in the story developed and their true desires are shown through the choices they make. The characters are faced with many obstacles and these hurdles reveal their character and help to shape the overall plot.

While Watchman and Raisin come from different backgrounds they are similar because they take place during the same time period that deals with gender roles and family. During this time in the 1950’s it was not usual for the women to stay home and the men be the head of the house. Although when times were rough family is always there for support.

Only one of his characters are sympathetic and that was the last person to die to show for it. The grandma of everyone was the only one who cared about being respectful and caring towards towards other but it was hard with her family. The grandma tried to make the best out of every situation and looked for the good in things like in the old days. When talking to red sammy they talk about what the old days were like and how this day and age is terrible, "A good man is hard to find," Red Sammy said. "Everything is getting terrible. I remember that day you could go off and leave your screen door unlatched. Not no more.".

Rudy Steiner was one of the most memorable characters in The Book Thief. Rudy not only showed extreme care for Liesel, but his unique personality and desires made him stand out above the other characters. He is described at the beginning of the book as a ten-year old with “bony legs, sharp teeth, gangly blue eyes, and hair the color of lemons” (Zusak 48). Physically, Rudy is the ideal image of a stereotypical Nazi, but mentally, he is the complete opposite. The Steiner family always struggled to put food on the table for all six kids, leaving Rudy with a grumbling stomach and very little meat on his body. Part of the appeal of Rudy Steiner was that in spite of an empty stomach and a Nazi party, nothing could not slow him down.

A lot of people these days don't have access to clean water, and we were reading a book called A Long Walk To Water in our class. In the text they talked a lot about one main character called Salva and his adventure from South Sudan to America. In the text Salva did a lot of things that made him like a hero. There is a lot of reasons on what makes him a hero. But there is three critical reasons for me on what made him a hero or what makes a hero. The first reason is that he never gave up, the second reason is that all heroes had something that is hard in their life, and the last reason is that they has great leadership. And those are some main reasons that got him to the end of his adventure to America.

In The Book Thief, Markus Zusak uses his characters to demonstrate the theme that there is both beauty and brutality in human nature. The characters that are examples of the novel are Rosa Huberman, Hans Huberman and Max Vandenberg. Rosa exemplifies the theme through her language and her tolerance. Hans exemplifies the theme through his interactions with Liesel. Max shows both characteristics through the novel. Rosa, Hans and Max are prime example of how human nature can have both beauty and brutality.

In A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry, Walter Younger wants to be a “real man”. His dream is to become successful in business and make his family rich. However, when all his money is stolen, he becomes very pessimistic, abandoning the ideas of morality and dignity. At the end of the play, his son Travis inspires him to value his family’s pride over materialism. Over the course of the play, Walter’s view of manhood changes from someone wealthy and successful to a person who has pride and believes in human dignity.

My chosen cultural characteristic is the fact that Snapchat streaks mean more to Americans than anything. Snapchat, a phone application, is a fairly new way of communication between two people, created by entrepreneur Evan Spiegel. Using limited characters, Snapchat allows friends to interact with each other, and share every important, as well as unimportant, moment of their lives, in pictures. First brought to life in 2011, Snapchat has changed drastically since then, as well as grown in popularity. One of the newest additions to Snapchat aside from the infamous filters, is “streaks”. This can be described as the consecutive number of days you and your friend have

In A Raisin in the Sun, by Lorraine Hansberry, the Younger family is trying to achieve the American Dream, which is “the ideals of freedom, equality, and opportunity traditionally held to be available to every American”(cite dictionary.com). The Youngers are a black family living in a poor part of Chicago. They inherit ten thousand dollars because Mama’s husband died. Mama is the matriarch of the Younger family. Each family member has their own idea about how to use this money to fulfill their dreams, and the play uses the decisions of the family members and other characters to show the reader that people’s actions are not always motivated by what they appear to be. Mama wants to use the money to buy a house in a white neighborhood, because she thinks it is a better environment for her family than their current living conditions and will benefit her family. Although there are a number of people in A Raisin in the Sun who appear too want to help the Younger family, Mama shows through her decision to buy the house that she is the only person that is looking out for the best interests of her family.
