The Character In The Bookine Rush

Lark-is like a best friend to Remy. There almost always together. Lark is the out spoken one she’s not shy at all.

Cormac McCarthy’s brain child “The Road” is a postapocalyptic novel that illustrates the harsh reality of the world. This story serves as a truth that humans, when stripped of their humanity will take desperate measures in order to survive. The reader learns; however even when it seems all hope is lost good can still be found in the world. The son character of this story illuminates this philosophy. He is a foil of his father and shows how even a person never accustomed to the luxury of a normal life can still see goodness.

Randle Patrick McMurphy, the main character in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, is the perfect example of a hero. He is committed to a mental institution after faking insanity to get out of a work camp. From the beginning of his presence on the ward, things start to change. He brings in laughter, gambling, profanity and he begins to get the other patients to open up. All of this, however, clashes with the head nurse, Nurse Ratched, who is trying to press conformity and obeying authority. It is then a battle between McMurphy and the nurse, McMurphy trying to set the patients free and the nurse trying to make them “normal”.

Darcy is the main character, Jamie is Darcy’s sister and Hakeem is Darcy’s boyfriend/ ex boyfriend, Tarah is her best friend. Copper is Tarah’s boyfriend and Liselle and Brain are brother and sister. Now you know everybody in the book. Every character in the book plays a very special part in it. They make the plot special and unique in its own way.

In the movie Lord of The Flies at the beginning the captain is still alive and they keep him alive while they're still on the island. Then in the cave the “beast” is the captain while in the book the “beast” is more of an unknown. During the movie they kept the captain alive by putting him in a bag and protect him. In the book however, the captain is dead from the impact on the on the plane. That situation with the captain changed the story of how in the movie they kill him out of mistake of the beast, while in the book it's because of the

My favorite character in the book is Anya. Anya is one of Chana’s younger sisters. I like Anya because despite her young age she stays calm and positive about her family being threatened by the Nazi’s. As Anya gets older she tries to help her family in any and every way she can.

I don't really have a reason why she is my favorite character, but ever since the 4th grade when I first read this book there was ,just something about Mae that made me wants to know more about this

The most relatable character in the novel is Valerie. “The lump in my throat was too big. It seemed surreal that I was about to be walking the same hallways with these kids who I knew so well, but who seemed like complete

Leah’s voice is most compelling for me for a number of reasons. Of all of the girls, she seems the most mature and empathetic. Leah also seems to love and support her father unconditionally,

One character I would love to be from this book would be Juana because she is strong, caring, and smart. First off, fierce describes Juana down to her core. On page 8, Kino describes her as almost as strong man, recognizing that “…she could arch her back in child pain with hardly a cry.” Even when Kino desperately held on to the dreams represented in the pearl, Juana held on to their old life, knowing that the pearl was not a blessing. All of this proves the iron Kino had seen was not a projection, but a real quality that helped her care for people. Next, Juana does only what is best for her family. She tried her best to get medical care for her son, even though the only doctor would not see any of her kind. If that doesn’t show enough of a

Bern from “Delicate, Edible Birds,” was my favorite character from week 4 because as Viktor said “In her every small movement she was the woman of the future... .” At the beginning of the story, the author characterizes her as woman that possess likeable and admirable qualities because she is goal orientated, self-driven, and tough. However, as the narrative unfolds the author presents her as being an overly sexual spirit. By doing this, rather than Bern being characterized as the pure heroin of the story it is revealed she might be the antihero. As Bern explains her past, she describes her “great love affair” with the mayor of Philadelphia at the age of sixteen. In our time as well as the period in the setting of the story, readers could assume that behind

If you believe in yourself and have dedication, pride, and never quit, you will be successful. Markus Zusak, the author of The Book Thief, creates a story of a young orphan named Liesel Meminger, who is living with her new foster family. She learns the wonders of reading from her foster father and grows to love books. During Liesel’s time with her new family, she shows determination through her efforts and kindness with her encounters with other people. Liesel in The Book Thief expresses her traits, such as hardworking, and bravery.

In the post-apocalyptic novel The Road by Cormac McCarthy, a majority of the characters are portrayed as “evil” or would be in an ideal world. Though the main characters; the Man and the Boy do not show any “evil” behaviours I would presume that if at some point in time they became desperate enough for food – and desperate enough to live, that they would do what they needed to do in order to survive. As in, eating other humans and stealing, I do not think that this is necessarily being evil or good.

William Golding’s “Lord of the Flies” is considered a modern classic by many and has had two film adaptions made to date, the most recent being directed by Henry Hook. In this “Lord of the Flies” adaption, Hook seems to ‘modernize’ the novel even having the boys make multiple references to pop culture and carry around a glow stick that resembles a light-saber. By doing this, the film feels mediocre, three out of five stars at best, and is quite difficult to take seriously.

In the book Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, the main character, Wade, changes throughout the book. This is due to the experiences with trying to get the answer to the puzzles with some of these being his living quarters and then getting thrown into jail.
