The Girl with All the Gifts Character Analysis

After reading the girl with All the Gifts, I realized that each character was significant in their own way. They all were very caring and determined but all for different things. Due to their circumstances with the hungries surviving was really every man for themselves even when they were together. The only two that stuck together, without any doubt or disagreements, were Miss Justineau and Melanie. I love their relationship they are both very selfless and care about each other dearly. Throughout the whole story they fought and depended on each other for each other’s safety. Melanie loved and protected them …show more content…

Miss Justineau is a very strong and courageous person. She is very selfless and strong in what she believes or the things she cares for. She didn’t care what she had to do or where she had to go. She just knew that where ever she was going and whatever doing Melanie was going to be right there with her and she was going to survive with her. In the story The Girl with All The Gifts there were so many times where Melanie had to save the humans from the hungries and the only person that appreciated was Miss Justineau. I am also a very selfless person and I feel as though if I was in that situation with the hungries, I would still care for Melanie dearly and I would also risk my life for her because she is one of the hungries but she is a very selfless one. She understand that she eats people and has a craving for blood but she is also well disciplined within herself. Melanie would get hungry and go outside and eat when she knows she can just eat the humans like everyone else. Melanie’s heart just wouldn’t let her because she loved them. Miss Justineau was the only only one who believed in Melanie from the beginning to the end. Miss Justineau didn’t just trust Melanie, she knew her heart and a person with heart is always going to win. I am also one of the people who have very big hearts and I don’t see myself …show more content…

Even with her being one of the hungries she had such a big heart for humans that eating them was just not something she could do. Melanie’s goal was to protect them and the only one that didn’t see her as any threat was Miss Justineau. There was times where Melanie was hungry and chose to step away from them find something to eat when she could have just ate them. Considering they are what her body craves. Melanie is an very selfless & intelligent hungry child. She is very strong and fearless. Imagine being a child that understands that everybody outside is trying to eat humans. To still get up and go outside knowing that, even if you are one of them, is scary. The average child would not step outside at the sight of hungries. The average adult wouldn’t even step outside at the sight of hungries. Melanie was different she had no fear and she understood her strengths & weaknesses. With her great understanding she was a very powerful
