The author uses Hannah’s personality traits to show the theme of the story of never lose hope in the most difficult times. For example, the narrator, the speaker of the story, “Early the next morning, Hannah began looking for the ivorybills and quickly discovered what a daunting task finding the birds was going to be. It was no wonder Mr. Tanner has gotten confused. There were no vacancies in the birdhouses”(Smith 27).
As a staff member at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Coastal Carolina, I was able to get know Hannah Mizelle quite well. Hannah was a member for over six years prior to moving to Florida. She was an absolute pleasure to have at the Club and displayed positive behavior each day. Hannah is one of the most intelligent and impactful youth that I have ever had the pleasure of interfacing with. She is kind, considerate, and carries herself in a mature fashion.
Hanna has what the narrator describes as the perfect life. Her parents are together, her house is friendly and her dad even visits their fifth-grade class. The two best friends were perfectly content with their life and no matter what they would not be separated nor turn against each other. “We were the girls with the wrong school supplies, and everything we did after that, even the things done just like everyone else, were the wrong things to do” (Horrock 473). Hanna and the narrator did not care whether they were doing the wrong thing socially, as long as they had each other.
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
(her niece's life) and is very strict when it comes to her rules. Firstly, Hannah has never admitted to enjoying playing the piano, as she was always told to nourish her special gift. “I had no choice.” (Pg 34). Throughout her childhood, Hannah has been controlled by Tante Rose, who had hoped for life of a concert pianist for her niece.
Oftentimes, minor characters help to reveal a theme or contribute to the characterization of the protagonist. In the novel Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, Helen Burns serves as a foil character to the protagonist, Jane Eyre. Throughout the novel, Helen’s docile and pious nature helps to emphasize Jane’s development from a passionate girl to a modest woman. Helen’s theological beliefs also allow her to serve as a foil character to Mr. Brocklehurst, the headmaster of Lowood Institution, and St John Rivers, a zealous missionary, in order to reveal how Christianity is used to control Jane. Compared to the male characters in the novel, Helen’s positive use of religion proves to be more effective in encouraging Jane to adopt Christian values.
It is not long before Hannahs “legacy” begins to rub off. When Sula does start to act on her ideas, they begin to resemble her mother, “Later, when they saw how she took Jude, then ditched him for others, an heard how he bought a bus ticket to Detroit (where he bought but never mailed birthday cards to his sons), they forgot all about Hannah 's easy ways(or their own) and said she was a bitch”(112). Sula followed in her mother footsteps and did what she believed was acceptable, while the town instead of being grateful(like they were with Hannah) only grew to despise her more, her mothers teaching were the only guidelines Sula had to follow. She was unapologetic even when moments should have been awkward and a lesson to be learned, “Her chin was in her hand and she sat like a visitor from out of town waiting for the hosts to get some quarreling done and off with so the card game could continue”(106). Sula thought even Nels husband was for anyone to have, seeing her mother with men that had wives most likely made her believe no one was off limits.
Zach and Jessica, Hannah’s first friends in Crestmont High School, also betrayed her. Zach used Hannah to get revenge on Jessica and Jessica slapped Hannah, thus changing a former safe haven for Hannah into a place of pain. Though Hannah’s peers frequently betrayed her, she is not only a victim. She and Justin betrayed Jessica when they did not stop Bryce from raping her. Hannah’s culpability in Jessica’s rape weighed heavily on her consciousness, and is one of the reasons why she decided to commit suicide.
The experiences she has had define the way the reader will think about Gilead. She conveys her intense emotions throughout the length of the story from her feelings about palimpsest to her
On the other hand, Jane is a good person who always keeps her grades and has a high reputation to everyone. However, Jane is not a perfect girl who makes mistakes but still learns from them. This would be the reason why she would be my favorite in this book. 2. Qualities of Jane that strikes me as a good characteristic to develop in myself would be how she learns from her mistakes and gets through rough moments in her life.
The three personalities that play the key role of protagonists in the novel, one of whom woman, named Hester, and two men, Dimmesdale and Chillingworth, are with no doubt part of the Puritan society in which they also live, are also personalities that reflect the universal experiences in the novel. The novel specifically speaks about the then American issues, problems and ideologies, but he uses the circumventing of thematic and aesthetic limitations that shall accompany that focus. He has made and ensured his crucial place and role in the literary canon due to his universality and the dramatic
She is very emotional and is easily attached to people. This is to some extent diminished because of her unlucky streak with people she get 's close to. She is my choice to illustrate the elements of character because she is the character I could think of that the story 's events had changed the most about. Her brother, the protagonist turned out to be a serial killer and she had to learn to "cope" with that, which flipped her around as a person. She eventually even became an accomplice in some of his killings.
If you as a reader feel you can relate to Hannah and have any thoughts on it yourself. You should always look outside the circle of people you met every day, because life is worth living more than a high school and things eventually turn around. You only need to believe in yourself and be stronger. First off, I can really understand why the people are describing the book as a
I’m traveling down the road and I can feel the movement beneath me and hear the sound of cars passing by, but at this moment in time I am not riding in a car but being transported by horse and buggy. A week ago, I met a new family and they are Amish and live as part of an entire Amish community, and that’s when I met Hannah. She was wearing a black cap, with her hair intertwined into an elegant braid. Her dress was blue with a small pocket and it flowed to her ankles. She wore nothing on her feet.
