In the story “The Stray” by Cynthia Rylant, Doris, our main protagonist, is very mature. This is because she cares, she is observant, and she is mostly persistent.

In the story “Stray”, by Cynthia Rylant, I claim the protagonist Doris is a very positive character. I state this because she is hopeful, persisting, and passionate about the dog that walks on her property, and throughout the story, she hopes to convince her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lacey, to adopt the stray dog. First and foremost, one of Doris’ traits is she is hopeful, she hopes her parents will let her keep the stray dog. I can state this because I know in the beginning of the story, Doris holds the puppy against herself after Mr. Lacey says: “I don’t know where it came from, but I sure know where it’s going.”. This indicates that Mr. Lacey is communicating to Doris that he plans to take the dog to the pound or shelter after the weather clears up.
Audrey Hepburn once said “People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed. Never throw anyone out.” Everyone wants to feel like they have someone to restore them- to make them whole again. The characters in Love, Aubrey don’t all have that privilege. Love, Aubrey is about a girl who loses her sister and father in a car accident, and soon after her mom leaves.

The character of Vianne Rossignol matures from a weak, dependant wife, to a woman who risks her life to save her children as well as the children of many Jews.

The Short Story The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin explores the emotions of Louise Mallard a woman with a heart disease. In the hour that the story is told, it ranges from showing Mrs. Mallard different reactions to learning of her husbands death to him surprisingly showing up alive and eventually her untimely death from a heart disease. Although only a brief period of time is shown, many emotions are revealed through the third person omniscient point of view. This point of view shows more than just the protagonists thoughts and is not limited to one person. It allows the readers to know something about Mrs. Mallard that she does not as the story ends after Mrs. Mallard has already died.
