In the story of Tom Brennan by J.C. Burke, the protagonist Tom experiences a traumatic catastrophe of his brother’s drink driving incident leaving his brother Daniel in jail, two dead and one paralysed which left Tom’s beliefs of his family shattered.

The author demonstrates Tom’s progress of transition maturity throughout the physical motif of running, as Uncle Brendan quotes “Start running tomorrow, i’ve never seen you so..
Gary Paulsen, the author of “Hatchet” describes one of Brian’s traits by using actions. As stated by this quote, “When he was done he covered the two piles with grass he tore from the lake shore to keep the flies off and went back outside”, (69) Brian used his surrounding environment to produce an answer for a complicated problem. An ordinary person wouldn 't thought of a solution as quickly as Brian did in this particular situation. The answer for this problem seems simple, after you have figured it out. But it’s not simple while you’re looking for it.
The main person that I believe that did witchcraft is Tituba because most of the people in the village knows that she can call the Devil. Mrs.Putnam said “Tituba knows how to speak to the dead, Mr.Parris” (Miller 1266). And in the story many people bring up that Tituba can speak to the dead and to the Devil. Mr.Parris saw them dancing in the woods, also Abigail admitted that they did danced in the woods like witches do during that time. Abigail said “Now look you!

I made the mistake of reading the first Little House on the Prairie book once again after finishing the series. It was just so hard to believe that the distinguished Laura Ingalls Wilder was once a naughty five-year-old, always secondary to her flawless older sister. This transformation made me realize that in reality or literature, characters change as they grow. Their change depends on the events taking place in the book, which explains how and why Laura Ingalls rose up to be the head of the family when her older sister was unable to do so. Many literary works portray growth or refinement of certain characters; physically, mentally, or emotionally.
For the topic of my essay I have chosen to write about a fictional character I encountered whose inspirational quote has had a significant impact on me. The characters name is Richter Abend and his quote is “Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality”. Richter Abend was ridiculed and persecuted all his life for his race. He was so afraid he circumvented and ignored the bullies but then he learned nothing would ever change if he stayed that way. This was similar to how I felt in middle school when I was bullied.

One thing I can remember that my mom always said never happened was a story about me driving my mom and dad 's minivan down the road to a nearby gas station and breaking down, I had always insisted it happened even though it obviously never did until I was 10 years old.
