Do you think the novel benefits from having several narrators or would it have been better to only have one narrator? Why do you think the author choose the characters he did for the narration? Game of Thrones once again shocked all of its viewers. The season five finale, “A Bleakness Binge” begins with Stannis getting ready to go to battle against Winterfell, after the burning of his daughter.

Olly comes into Jon’s room saying that one of the Wildlings has said that Jon’s uncle Benjen has been spotted alive. As he walks into the court yard, his own people start to stab him, with the final stab by Olly, his own personal steward. But is he really dead? Will he come back as his direwolf, Ghost? Hopefully all of these answers will be in the next season. This season of Game of Thrones had a lot of surprises, and was one of the best season so far. This is of the best shows that I have ever seen, and can’t wait for the new season to come out next year. I urge anyone that has never seen it to give it a
The Enders Game written by Orson Scott Card provides understanding of the characters and their relationships with others through indirect characterization and diction. Orson Scott Card uses literacy devices and specific word choice to let the reader draw conclusions about the characters and the relationships between Peter and Ender, the symbolism of the bugger mask/bugger-astronaut game, and the foreshadowing of Peter and Valentines death.

Everyone who has seen Grey’s Anatomy knows all the problems and struggles the characters go through with each episode they watch; they know how much Meredith Grey struggles with her mommy and daddy issues which distract her at work and led her to become emotional involved or make an error with a patient. Everyone has seen the characters on the show have committed at least one mistake that led to the death of a patient or a near to death experience. From the time Callie Torres, an orthopedic surgeon, left a sponge inside of a patient and closed him up to the time George O’Malley, a surgical resident, who nearly killed a patient. But what most viewers who watch Grey’s Anatomy do not fully comprehend is that this is not just in a drama but this is in real life—all doctors make mistakes.
King Lear’s play was something that I had never read before. It was so confusing to me, the way they talked with such big words. The characters in the play were so competitive, and selfish. Lear’s daughters were so cruel, except for Cordelia. She actually wanted to take care of her father unlike the other two girls that were just into Lear’s materials. The way Goneril and Regan rather he stays outside in the crazy thunderstorm, instead of him staying with them. The girls were already so envious and competitive with each other; the situation didn’t make it any better. Lear just wanted to love on them, and them love and give him attention, but he couldn’t get that from them. The women in the play controlled the men, while the men listened to them while they demanded orders.
In the show Game of Thrones (produced by HBO, originally written by George R Martin) there is a character name Tyrion Lannister, this character is known for abnormal characteristics. Many people describe him as intelligent, a great speaker, sarcastic, witty, and thinking about the next step. Through both of these speeches the exigence (purpose for the speech), rhetor (speaker), and audience (person or group speech is directed) stay pretty much the same. The exigence for the speech that occurred at Blackwater, Tyrion is speaking to convince the people to fight even though their King is not present. The rhetor would be Tyrion and the audience would then be the people he is trying to convince to fight at this battle.
The European Renaissance forever changed the life of the contemporary individual. Explosive advancements in education, technology, and trade broadened geographic and mental horizons; however, in England these developments were paired with population crises of poverty and unemployment. In addition, the increased interaction with foreign cultures fomented by various commercial and diplomatic engagements gave rise to apprehension in English sensibility. Eventually, Christian England would attempt to reshape these ‘strangers’ in their image and modern racial tensions sprung forth. Recursion of the trope of race, under the guise of blackness, heathenry, or even femininity occurs extensively in literary tradition, and especially within Shakespeare’s oeuvre. “There exists in all literature an archetypal figure who escapes both poles of the classic definition – appearing sometimes as hero, sometimes as villain, sometimes as clown…[he] has been named variously the ‘shadow,’ the ‘other,’ the ‘alien,’ the ‘outsider,’ the ‘stranger.’” It is with this borderline figure, mired in ambiguity, that this investigation is concerned: primarily with the stranger as the Moor in Othello, the Welsh in Henry IV, Part 1, and the woman in both.
The societal standard of beauty and love have always been linked with the Caucasian woman. In the 1977 coming of age novel: Song of Solomon, written by Toni Morrison. Morrison uses her characters: Hagar and Ruth to voice her criticism of the societal standards and norms of beauty and love all while further analyzing its effect on African American Women. Morrison’s use of the character Hagar sheds light exemplifies the African American women feels that she needs to meet and even exceed the white-washed standard of beauty in order to achieve the love that she feels she deserves, with her obsession of societal beauty as a means of getting Milkman back Hagar is the poster girl

For this essay, I am going to exercise my opinion of how power and control generate the play and how different characters use it, especially Iago. I’ll also take a look at how power and control may shift between the characters throughout the play. Shakespear's play Othello regards social customs through the relationships between characters. By taking a look at these characters relationships, through an analysis of race differences, gender status, and social class, an argument that, as in all other communities of people, particularly in Europe, Venetian consists both of given power to a particular party, arises. These relationships, such as Othello’s, Iago’s, Emilia’s, Desdemona’s, Bianca’s, Cassio’s, or Lodovico’s and a few other characters, are shown through speech verses and actions.When being shown in interactions of all kinds such as speech, discussions, etc.
The novel Anthem by Ayn Rand and the movie The Hunger Games directed by Francis Lawrence and Gary Ross are popular among teens because they can relate to them by the high expectations put upon them. In a dystopian novel or movie, there is a dystopian protagonist. A dystopian protagonist is someone who often feels trapped, struggles to escape, questions existing systems, believes or feels as if something is wrong in the place they live in, and then helps the audience realize the effects of dystopian worlds. These are both good examples because it takes us on a walk through the protagonist's life and only then do we see what dystopian really is.

Characters, in my opinion, form the novel itself. It is the characters and incidents corresponding in a novel, which make a good one. There are two kinds of characters: the round character, and the flat character. The round one has contradictions and develops with the progress of the novel. The flat character does not change; if it is good then that is the way it will stay, or if it is bad it will also stay as it is with no progress in it. There are as well minor characters, which are there to help the novel to develop, and make incidents more reasonable. Characters form actions, in my opinion, and actions form the incidents of a novel.
Everyday we watch tv shows and pay less attention to the inequality, power and social class issues in play than the love triangles and action scenes. I chose to watch the tv show Reign because even before this class, I had noticed the social justice issues in play and although it is a historical show, it has a certain modern element to it. The show is about Queen Mary of Scotland, set in the 16th century. Queen Mary had been set to marry Prince Francis of France since she was only a few weeks old, the marriage was used as an alliance between Scotland and France. Mary, set on helping her country through this alliance, arrives at court with her lady’s in waiting. It is clear from the beginning of the show, as Mary befriends her future husband
In the play Othello by William Shakespeare, our main protagonist, Othello, is manipulated by a man who he thought was honest and noble, Iago. Othello is pushed all the way to the lengths of murder, and eventually commits suicide. I believe that Othello’s inevitable fall was due to his own tragic flaws. Some of these factors include his jealousy, him being gullible, and the high amount of trust that he puts in Iago.
King Lear- The king of Britain who is used to lavishing in all of his power and having people cater to him. He doesn’t like to be.
