An individual’s personality traits are characteristics and qualities that distinguishes one as distinctive. From the time we are in the womb, we already begin to develop a sense of individuality and achieving what we want to be seen as. An infant who kicks their mother’s stomach since young develop a personality that wants attention, while one who does not may be seen as considerate and calm. However, our personality in nature is not always intact throughout our life. As we grow, we are challenged by our society’s limits and often influenced by our surroundings. Therefore, the way an individual is nurtured will differ from their originally inherent character positively or negatively, and start to act the way they are more comfortable with. Such an example applies to a thirteen year old girl named Bonny. Even though she has some flaws in her character, Bonny is a well- rounded individual that is independent, imaginative, and reliable. Those are some positive traits that she developed as she matured.
Bonny is a student who is independent. Since a young age, she already understood and is rather comfortable to take care of herself from the absence of her parents. For example, making breakfast, house chores, and safety routines. This shows that Bonny is self- governing because she looks forward to the achievement of being able to complete a task unassisted. Bonny also knows her responsibilities in school, and will voluntarily do the tasks without reminders. Furthermore, as she grew up becoming more responsible and emotionally matured, she was able to travel from Hong Kong to Canada by herself with minimal help provided by flight assistants. She would look after herself through security checkups and patiently listen to instructions pr...

...ty and taking care of a toddler like washroom breaks, feeding food, and keeping her entertained. From those events, we can see that Bonny is a reliable person.
Some people are excellent friends due to their humour and generosity. Others may be admired by their perseverance and organization skills. However, a person is not capable of holding all traits, which is what makes each and every one of us unique and our own ways. Bonny’s personality may not be perfect, but those three personality traits were definitely revealed through her actions. Although she is still only a teenager, she exemplifies the sense of being independent, imaginative, and a reliable individual. Throughout the pervious experiences, she was able to undergo changes and improve herself. This final act is what qualifies Bonny as a truly interesting individual and what makes her special from others.

Clarisse is a very smart and thoughtful character. She isn't stuck on materialistic things like other people in their society; she enjoys nature. Some personality traits would be confrontative/extroverted, knowledge-seeking, scatterbrained, curious, and knowledgeable. Because of these things, she is considered crazy and is an outcast: "I'm seventeen and I'm crazy. My uncle says the two always go together. When people ask your age, he said, always say seventeen and insane. Isn't this a nice time of night to walk?" (Bradbury 5).
In the Irish detective novel In the Woods by Tana French, we confront the dilemma of discerning the good from the bad almost immediately after cracking open the covers—the narrator and main character, Robert Ryan, openly admits that he “…crave[s] truth. And [he] lie[s].” (French 4) But there is more to this discernment than the mere acceptance that our narrator embellishes the occasional truth; we must be ever vigilant for clues that hint at the verisimilitude of what the narrator is saying, and we must also consider its relation to Robert’s difference from the anticlimactic (essentially, falsehood) and the irrevocable (that which is unshakeable truth). That is, the fact that in distinguishing the good from the bad, we are forced to mentally
Have you ever met someone so clever, determined, and cruel to leave a man to die over an insult? Montresor is the perfect example of these character traits. In “The Cask of Amontillado”, by Edgar Allan Poe, Montresor uses all of these character traits to get revenge on Fortunado for insulting his family name. Montresor’s clever planning, determination for revenge, and cruel murder are the perfect combination for his unequaled revenge.

Dill is inquisitive, a luminary, and ostentatious.
Nominees were asked to try and write about one experience, which proves quite difficult and uninteresting. It's much more interesting to discuss the value of the "pillars" of the National Honor Society. One thing defines us in life. One thing that outshines service, leadership, and even scholarship. In fact, without this thing, the other three are irrelevant. Character. Character carries us through our lives. It gives motivation and strength. It gives love and hate. It gives decisions of yes or no. Character is most important to me. It is character that literally defines all of us. Character is more than being kind and polite. If everyone's character could be summed in that way of unkind or kind and polite or impolite the world would not be interesting anymore would it? The world is interesting and so is everyone else, all because of character.
Junot Diaz’s, Drown, is littered with overlooked moments that reveal so much about the characters. In my group’s rendering we made the claim that Ysrael is more than an emotionless superhero. We included the scene of Ysrael standing alone in the rain crying.This moment, to me, is the most important in the whole movie. It’s short and easy to miss, which reflects the easy to miss moment nature of the book but also shows the true complexity of Ysrael’s character.

The third major theory of personality is humanistic, and Carl Rogers was the best known humanistic theorist. Finally, the fourth major theory of personality is social cognitive which was developed by social learning theorists.
The main protagonist of the story, Elizabeth Bennet (nicknamed both Lizzy and Eliza), is the second daughter in the Bennet family. Second only to her elder sister in beauty, Elizabeth’s figure is said to be “light and pleasing,” with “dark eyes,” and “intelligent…expression” (24). At 20 years old, she is still creating her place in society. Known for her wit and playful nature, “Elizabeth is the soul of Pride and Prejudice, [she] reveals in her own person the very title qualities that she spots so easily” (“Pride and Prejudice”) in others. Her insightfulness often leads her to jump to conclusions and think herself above social demand. These tendencies lead her to be prejudice towards others; this is an essential characteristic of her role
Personality is the expression of a person’s traits according to ones feelings, mentality and behavior. It involves understanding individuals’ traits such as withdrawal and willpower and how various parts of an individual link together to form personality. Personality expresses itself from within an individual and is comparatively regular throughout in an individual’s life. Different people have different personalities dependent on factors such as environment and genetic composition. Our personality is dependent on the success or failure of our development in the eight stages of life. This is proposed by Erik Erikson. Success in the development stages lead to virtues while the failure leads to malignancies.
