Lastly, he cleans his shoes (paragraph 9). All these activities are done very precisely and the way the boy wants to, and this is the reason he starts getting more confident that his first-day outfit will be good. For example, in paragraph 5, he states how important he thinks for people to never crease their jeans, the reason he irons them so carefully. But what’s more important is the way he also describes how his homeroom teacher, Mr. Sheinklin, “never got the no-crease memo” (paragraph 5). He figures that the first day of school will be his chance to show Mr. Sheinklin “what a smooth pair of jeans supposed to look like” (paragraph 5).

The Storm Character Analysis

790 Words | 4 Pages

Calixta in "The Storm" In this short story "The Storm" by Kate Chopin, the character that was the most greatly changed or influenced would have to be Calixta. First, in the beginning you get this feeling that she plays the character of a mother who as a storm approaches begins to get anxious as any parent usually does knowing her child may be in danger.
