This Goldfish Would You Wish

By analyzing the conflicts of stories help readers understand why the specific characters act certain ways. We better comprehend the characters’ personality and why the flaws of other character affect the main character. Are main characters’ problems the result of other characters’ personality flaws? Characters endure arduous situations and it is because of another character’s flaw. Being possessiveness, overly critical, and controlling of others are the reason for main characters problems.

She can also stand up for herself when there is a conflict. I can relate with her because I am usually really shy in the beginning, but I can get talkative if I’m with friends. While Rosa Hubermann usually calls Liesel out using swear words, and gets mad for no reason, but in the end those were her own ways of saying that she cares. I can compare myself to her because I can get annoyed and mad easily. Meanwhile Rudy Steiner, a young boy can take care of everyone, make people feel welcome, help others when there’s a problem, and he will even do anything to keep others happy. I can compare myself with some of these traits because I like to help others with things they do, for example, I help other people with homework and other projects. Death is also a character that I can relate to because he can experience sadness, joy and even depression. He looks for hope in the gathering, reading, and telling of stories, he also finds ways to give meaning to his work. I can relate to him because he is a hard worker, and even though his job is depressing he finds ways to make it

Regardless of the inquisitive predicaments the characters faced in the story, there are many characters that has a personality an

Many people have different characteristics and traits mine go with the ones I chose. These three different characters have characteristics that I could relate to. The three fictional characters that most represent my personality are Owl from Winnie The Pooh because of his logical explanations and how he is a careful problem solver, Johnny Test from cartoon network for his recklessness and getting into shenanigans, and Michael Scott from The Office for his goofy behavior and jokes.

Throughout the book I felt connected to one character, that character was George. George and I share similar qualities and our lifestyles can relate. One major characteristic I found in George is his ability

Though many characters are inherently the same it is the way they respond to the world around them that makes them individuals. Some may be loving but express their love in different ways from one another, some may be criminals but have very different intentions behind their crimes, and some may be stricken by grief yet alleviate their pains through different methods. It is the way these characters respond to the world around them that make them individuals.

It’s sometimes easy to forget what it’s like to feel a certain way: to feel like a child again, to feel in tune with nature, or just to feel anything at all. With reading, we can “see ourselves in the other and the other in ourselves” (Deresiewicz 161). We can relate and trace a fictional character’s life as parallel to our own, which fulfills our own lives to a greater degree. Reading stories allows us to rekindle past memories and ignite deep relationships with characters that writers have skillfully crafted before our eyes. From Briony’s naivety and annoying presence as a little sister in Atonement, to the inferiority and flawed experiences felt by Nel in Sula, I can easily relate to many characters of literature. Doing so develops our capacity to realize that other perspectives exist. To know that you are not alone in this journey called life provides us with a reassuring message that we as people can face struggles in life together. It is this empathy that keeps us connected on an emotional

The speaker in “What, of This Goldfish, Would You Wish?” by Etgar Keret delves into people’s dreams and their reality of living in a land where people from many cultures often contest one another to survive. This land is home to a war between Israel and Palestine, one that is transforming many lives, just like the ones in “My So Called Enemy” by Lisa Gossels. A group of girls taught to hate each other from birth, set their differences aside and come together. While these stories differ vastly through their characters, they both shed light on the horrible effects of the longstanding war and the theme of acceptance.

The result of these characteristics give each story suspense and mystery, leaving the readers wondering what each character will do next and what further action will take place. Characters hold a primary role in determining the outcome of a story, which is the reasoning behind the many similarities and differences among literary characters. Also, a clear example is the similar plots with two completely different outcomes. Once the audience understands a character, they are capable of building on their existing knowledge to foreshadow events or understand the text more logically, which is evident when reading these

During our fourth lesson on caring for goldfish, we were able to achieve the intended lesson objectives based on student responses, behaviors, anecdotal notes, journal entries, and teacher observations. I wrote and taught this lesson, while Ms. Meaghan was in charge of running one observation station. She also took anecdotal notes about student responses and quotes during the opening and closing of the lesson. This lesson was about caring for goldfish, and therefore, required the use of goldfish to conduct the lesson effectively. Since the classroom teaching informed me that the goldfish died, I bought six more and two aquariums for the purpose of this lesson. This lesson required a lot of materials and preparation, but as a result of the

Have you ever read a book or watched a show and they relate someone to something their not? You're about to read something where they do. Some people can change and be related to a fashion. Or they can be plain and boring and be related to a plain bagel.

Certain characters pull us into the story with them. This starts with having an infatuation with a character. This draws our attention to them. This is shown in the novel Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld where a dysfunctional family, the Bennets are all brought together in their hometown Cincinnati due to their father's health scare. All five daughters receive continuous pressure upon getting married to someone who their traditional mother approves of. Different conflicts are brought up upon this circling problem. With multiple diverse personalities we are drawn to certain ones. Liz Bennet drops everything in front of her for the ones that she is close to. This makes it easy to empathize with her as most people thrive to be this loyal. With reading

Many of the fictional characters found in literature, television, or theater are based on fantasies. These characters may possess inhumane abilities, wealth, or troubled pasts. However, some specific characters are remembered because they have personalities that personally relate to us.

I chose to write my essay on why I am not similar to the character Shulamith (the mistress of the king in the Song of Solomon). She embodies the side of fours that take romanticism to an irrational level. This is an example of a negative four trait; allowing your heart to make your decisions instead of your head, leading to a roller coaster of emotions, like in Song of Solomon 5: 10-16, when she writes: “My beloved is radiant and ruddy, distinguished among ten thousand. His head is the finest gold; his locks are wavy, black as a raven. His eyes are like doves beside streams of water, bathed in milk, sitting beside a full pool. His cheeks are like beds of spices, mounds of sweet-smelling herbs. His lips are lilies, dripping liquid myrrh. His

Acceptance is trusting, having confidence, and be welcoming of others. Being able to accept people with an open mind may be difficult at times but depending on our experience and the way we have come to be it can sometimes be very natural. In the three texts, “What, of This Goldfish Would You Wish”, “The Lottery”, and “American Flag Stands for Tolerance,” the author’s focus on the way we interact and relate with others. This quote, “We as human beings, must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves” said by Barbara Jordan, demonstrates how everyone should be open and willing to accept those who are different and not to discriminate against others.
