The Individualization Complex Character Analysis

I was pleased to have attended a lecture cosponsored by the Ethics Center, the Fresno State office of the president, the Fresno Bee and Valley PBS. The lecture began with Dr. Castro recognizing a few leaders on campus, including a past Fresno State president, Dr. John D. Welty and campus volunteer Mary Castro. Dr. Castro then mentioned a few things about Mr. Brooks stating that he is a columnist for the New York Times and an analyst for the PBS “News Hour” and NPR’s “All Things Considered.” Dr. Brooks also teaches at Yale University, one the finest university in the country. Dr. Castro continued by saying that he learned that Mr. Brooks office hours are from 9am to 1pm and how “cool” it sounded to him. I was surprised how many people attended the event. I was fortunate to find a seat. David Brooks mentioned how he has some remote roots in the Central Valley because his father grew in Chowchilla, CA but Mr. Brooks grew in New York.

Jimmy knows too well the agonies of abandonment. First, when his mother, Cecilia, ran away with Richard to pursue a better lifestyle. Then, due to his father’s, Damacio Baca, alcoholisms and violent behavior; he also had to leave Jimmy behind. In spite of the drawbacks from abandonment to being a maximum security prisoner in Arizona State Prison, Jimmy preserver’s the darkness of prison by overcoming his illiteracy. However Cecilia and Damacio is not as fortunate as their child; Cecilia is shot by Richard after confronting him for a divorce and Damacio chokes to death after he is released from the detox center(Baca 263). Therefore the most significant event in this section of the memoir, A Place to Stand by Jimmy Santiago Baca is the death of Jimmy’s parents.

“Everyone in society should be a role model, not only for their own self-respect, but for respect from others.” ~ Barry Bonds. In this world bad situations occur frequently and it takes a good strong person to handle them in a mature way. Dealing with them this way not only shows that the person has self-control, but also makes them a good role model for people to look up to. In the book The Chosen, Chaim Potok uses Mr. Galanter to express his opinions of a good role model. Acting as a baseball coach and gym teacher, young boys look to him for guidance and motivation every day. Having this kind of position causes stress at times, and requires him to stay calm and level headed. Throughout this book, Mr. Galanter

The Messenger by Markus Zusak helped me understand that everyone has opportunities, but the way you treat the opportunities will affect what will happen in the future. It showed me how even though people like the protagonist Ed Kennedy can be brought up in a terrible environment, they can still live a meaningful life as long as they choose the right paths. In the beginnings of the book, Ed has a negative attitude and usually talks down to himself. When Sophie asks if he is a saint, he thinks to himself “Me?

Sometimes in tragedy we find our lives purpose. Jimmy dean once said, “I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.” This relates to the novel Ordinary People very well as Conrad and Calvin Jarret both tried seeking help and tried to fix their problems instead of pretending they didn’t exist. Conrad went to see a psychiatrist in recommendation of his father and his doctor, His father Calvin went and spoke to Conrad’s psychiatrist. Conrad also tried to communicate with his family more and have a more open relationship with his friends and family. Beth on the other hand did not try to resolve any issues with her family and instead ignored and kept her distance from Conrad and Calvin. All

Stealing food and using it to feed someone is an example of what is used throughout the fictional novel, A Long Way From Chicago, copyright date 1997. Joey and Mary Alice visit Grandma Dowdel’s home from Chicago every summer. Each year for seven years they learn that kindness can be shown in different ways.

Since the beginning of time, conflict has occurred due to differences in beliefs and opinions. Conflict can be as simple as a small argument, or as monumental as a world war. All types of conflicts require important decisions to be made that will not always be popular. Decisions made in times of conflict may be hastily created or thought out and well planned. These decisions made in difficult times expose the real, underlying personality of people.

The story centers around a group of pre teenage boys that don’t seem to fit in anywhere. When one of them mysteriously disappears a sinister series of events follows. His worried older brother, his mother, another boy's’ older sister, a telekinetic girl with a shaved head, and the town sheriff join them on a hunt to track down the missing boy and unravel the mysteries of the town. Somehow, a show that is intended to be a supernatural mystery also tells a wonderful coming of age story and sucks you into the character’s journeys. Numerous subplots allow one to fully immerse oneself into the story and feel connected to each character. Usually, I’m not a big fan of this genre, but the characters were what kept me watching.

Finley played the role of a team player at the beginning of the book of the novel. The role started because he listens to and respects his coach and everything he says. When Russ comes to Bellmont as Boy21 coach wants Finley to get Russ to play basketball “we’ll call him Boy21 tonight and work on getting him back to Russ before school starts” (Quick 31). This role changes later in the book, page 193, when Finely disobeys coach and quits the team. This is important because it represents Finley’s growth into a better boyfriend.

The resolution of the novel is when Jonas reaches Elsewhere and he finally reaches a place far away from his community. His journey to Elsewhere included many hardships and obstacles like hiding from search planes, keeping Gabriel alive, and trying to keep himself alive. No doubt, it was hard for Jonas to escape his community and build a life elsewhere, but I think that it will pay off, and finally, he can be free. The symbol I chose to represent the journey to Elsewhere and Beyond is a maze. As many people know, some mazes are very hard to figure out, with dead ends and paths leading to nowhere. The difficulty and intricacy of mazes represents Jonas’s journey, and ultimate end. A maze is confusing to figure out, and similar to Jonas’s journey,

Throughout this journal, Elena can be characterized as brilliant and hopeless. Firstly, Elena can be characterized as brilliant in numerous ways. For example, she understands Russian and even the commander is asking her to be a spy. Lina said, “‘Komorov asked Mother to spy and report to him. She said no’” (Sepetys 158). The commander wants Elena to spy on the prisoners and promised her that Lina’s family will be treated differently from others. In addition, they will get more foods and less work, but she knows how to refused him and not getting punished. Another example, she tries to enlighten Lina because Lina does not understand Andrius. Elena said, “Andrius. He’s trying and you’re blocking him at every pass. Men aren’t always graceful, you know” (Sepetys 160). Furthermore, Elena
