She understands the signs of someone in distress and can address those problems well. In my experience, Emma is kind and compassionate even with matters that do not involve her. Situations may be difficult to handle, but Emma has the perseverance to handle the job
After she does these tasks she must kill dorothy. The problem in this book is not solved because this book is part of a series.
She does not have to be the embodiment of intellectual strength like First Corinthians. She does not have to be the embodiment of no strength like her mother. She’s human, and therefore she represents some undeniable stereotypes such as love as an ideal; but she changes the ideal; instead of loving a man, she loves her mother with all she has and stays, in a house she likely hates, to protect her. She embodies femininity at some point and strength at others—something feminists have been trying to prove for centuries go hand in hand—she’s an oxymoron in the eyes of most
She is always quite witty and has an arsenal full of snarky comebacks that she can unleash at any time. When thrown into a tricky situation, she can be unsure of herself, terrified, confused, and excited all at the same time. But when the going gets tough she will always find a way to take care of her loved ones and herself. Nonetheless, she is not your badass character with innate physical strength common to most heroines. Most of the time she will muddle through problems by sheer will, which is what makes her such a brave and personable character that light up the entire
Maggie on the other hand, is characterized by her unattractiveness and timidity. Her skin is scarred from the fire that had happened ten or twelve years ago. Those scars she has on her body in the same way have scarred her soul leaving her ashamed. She “stumbles” in her reading, but Mrs. Johnson loves her saying she is sweet and is the daughter she can sing songs at church with, but more so that Maggie is like an image of her. She honors her family’s heritage and culture, by learning how to quilt and do things in the household, like her mother views their heritage.
Moody spent her entire childhood watching her people being mistreated so when she got to college; she took a lot of courage to get involved in an organization that she believed would help her people. She also feared for her family’s safety because her getting involved in such organization can get her family in trouble. However, she got motivated and got through the struggle and
Which character in the book is your favorite, and why? Do you like characters who are sympathetic, or funny, or irreverent, or daring, or what? My favorite character in the book is Wes’ mother. She is willing to sacrifice her time and energy, work hard at her job, and think and do the best thing for her children to protect them, even if it means extra work to lead them to success. I believe, that without her caring and compassionate personality, Wes could easily have had the same story as “the other Wes.”
While these are all good examples of her being kindhearted, the biggest example is when she is with Boo. After Boo saves her and Jem’s life, she decides to walk him home per his request. She looks up and says,“Mr. Arthur, bend your arm down here, like that. That’s right sir” (278).
This character trait is the source of her strictness. She holds her family to a standard that they often times do not live up to. A prime example of her steadfast faith is
“To be human is to be beautifully flawed. ”(Eric Wilson). All humans are flawed. That is what makes them human. Flaws sometimes are hurtful, but they make the character interesting.
Becoming a powerful witch? Awesome. Being part of ancient, magical feud? Not so much. Phoebe is as brightly intelligent as she is badly scarred; her cousin Sara is as kind as she is flawlessly beautiful.
Only the people close to her except her and understand who she really is. “But a person is so much more than the name of the diagnosis on a chart.” (Draper 23) I connected this book to a fish bowl because life is like a fish bowl. I see us as the fish inside.
She spends her days waiting on a hero like Lancelot to come sweep her off her feet and return her to her kingdom. Its as if herself and other women in the story are not intelligent enough to think on their own and save themselves. Nonetheless, the mere fact that she is “in distress” and “kept away” seems to make her all the more
In the beginning of the story, it shows that she is a very superior person as being the reverend’s niece. She evidently changes when she had the power of
Usually when a character is very demanding, the way they act towards others is rude and obnoxious. Blanche and Stanley do clash heads a lot, but they are both antithetical to those close to them. Blanche expects everyone to listen to her and sees herself as the center of attention. She wants everyone and everything to be all about her and the main thing she wants is to be desired. Blanche cannot really have what she wants because she changes her moods on everyone and so it causes people to treat her the opposite from how she wants to be treated.
