With a great abundance of people becoming fascinated with crime and crime solving shows there has been a plethora of shows to accommodate them. One of the shows that has done just that is the television series Bones. The show first aired on September 13, 2005 and has been going strong for years to come, with a total of two hundred and twelve episodes in ten seasons. The six main characters are Dr. Temperance Brennan, Seeley Booth, Angela Montenegro, Dr. Jack Hodgins, Camille Saroyan, and Dr. Lance Sweets. By analyzing the main characters one can find how they helped Brennan to grow throughout the series.
The star character throughout the entire series is Dr. Temperance Brennan, also known as “Bones.” She received this nickname from Booth

due to her being an anthropologist and dealing with bones every day at the Jeffersonian Institute. In the first couple of seasons she was seemingly cold hearted and blunt. She preferred to solve crimes off of tangible evidence and facts rather than psychology. As a girl Brennan was “abandoned” by her mother and father, and then her brother had left her a few years later. However, as the series develops it’s revealed that her father was a criminal and was forced to flee with her mother. It is often believed that losing her family was the reason behind why she was distant and detached, also the reason behind why she wanted to give voice to the dead and find their murderers. As the series progressed, she slowly started to become less blunt, and more understandable with how psychology works. One of the first characters that helps Brennan is Seeley Booth, the FBI Special Agent who is Brennan’s partner.
Before joining the FBI Booth was a sniper in the United States Army Rangers. Much like Bones he had family issues as well. His father used to beat his mother, brother, and himself before the mother ran away without taking her sons. Without a real father influence he became the father figure to his younger brother Jared; it was later revealed that Jared took advantage of Booth always protecting him when he caused Booth to lose credit on an significant case he was working on when Jared drove drunk. In earlier seasons Booth was a womanizer who had a son from a previous girlfriend, but after getting Bones pregnant he settles down and tries to make a family with her. Bones had initially refused, but when she finally wanted to complications aroused where they weren’t able to get married until season nine. With Booth being more practical on some issues he helps to teach Brennan how to relax, and become more understanding instead of her always relying on facts or evidence, but to trust her …show more content…
heart. The second character that helps Bones is Angela Montenegro, the forensic artist at the Jeffersonian, and Brennan’s best friend. Angela is free spirited, always trying to focus on the positives in life. In the beginning of the series, she believes that she’ll only be at the Jeffersonian for a little while before moving to Paris to become a real artist, but ends up staying longer than expected. Unlike Brennan she isn’t tied to her work, she’s constantly sleeping with different men, and going to various clubs. In season five she marries her coworker Dr. Jack Hodgins, and has his son in season six. Brennan often comes to her asking what something means or for various life advice. Angela helps teach Brennan to be more open, and take a walk on the wild side every so often. The third character that changed Brennan’s life is Dr. Jack Hodgins, an entomologist or the expert bug and slime guy as he likes to say. He is the sole owner of the Cantilever Group, and worth millions, but he doesn’t brag about it to his coworkers. However, after one case his funds get drained by a murderer who is also an expert on computers. Hodgins is the comedic relief in the series, often declaring himself “The King of the Lab” when he finds something that pushes the case forward. Although he is friendly and smart Hodgins is a huge conspiracy theorist, but it also helps solve a lot of cases as he thinks outside of the box or says something out loud that others wouldn’t even think about. He is one of the only characters that doesn’t change profusely much throughout the entire series. He helps to teach Brennan that sometimes it is okay to think outside of the box and not always rely on what is right in front of you. The fourth character that helps Brennan is Camille Saroyan, the head of the Forensic Division, as well as being the pathologist. Before joining the Jeffersonian team, in season two, she was a coroner in New York City. She ended up receiving the head spot above Brennan, when she was away, which caused their relationship commence on the wrong foot. Saroyan often felt as if Brennan was constantly testing her when she would say or do something. When Brennan finally approved of Saroyan being in charge, their relationship improved tremendously. Saroyan always had made it clear that she didn’t particularly want children, but that all changed when in season four a man she used to date was murdered and his child that she used to play mother to was then alone. Even though she didn’t want children she adopted Michelle after explaining why she had left her father in the first place. Even though Saroyan didn’t exactly directly teach Brennan anything I believe that Brennan learned that it was okay to admit that you’re wrong every once in a while. Also, like Hodgins, she taught Brennan that intuitive leaps are okay to use. Finally the fifth character that helped Brennan was Dr.
Lance Sweets, the FBI psychologist that is assigned to Booth and Brennan and then later sticks around to help solve the cases. Throughout the series he’s another comedic relief much like Hodgins is. When he was first assigned to Booth and Brennan neither of them take him seriously. Booth constantly makes fun of his baby face saying that he’s too young to know what he’s talking about, and Brennan just doesn’t believe in psychology. However, as the series progressed they begin to think of him more like family, even inviting him to live at their house as he tries to get back on his feet after breaking up with his girlfriend. The main characters began to trust him so much that they’d seek him out to ask for advice or to just vent when needed. When they first began do that he complained that they didn’t make appointments with him until Saroyan mentioned that he should feel prominent to them that they all trust him so much to come unannounced. Sweets is probably the most influential on Brennan he helps her to understand what she’s feeling even if she doesn’t know it herself. He is the reason that she began to develop into the character she is at the end of the
series. The television series Bones was introduced to us for entertainment purposes like any other television series one becomes attached to the characters, and just like every other series one can learn life lessons from them. Every single character in the series Bones, whether I mentioned them or not, played a very important role in Brennan’s life. Brennan grew from being a cold hearted, blunt person to becoming warm and open just like every other character in the show. Often saying that she’s not as cold as everyone thinks she is. As Angela had once said “Sometimes the best things in life happen against the odds” what had once seemed impossible to Brennan, her coming into terms that she can change, was now once a possibility for her.

The new phases of life and social context is predicated through the sum of feats and experiences as crises and adversity are usually the greatest motivator which propel individuals to become better than they were before. J.C. Burke’s ‘The Story of Tom Brennan’ (TSTB) is an example of the transitional process through entering a new, unknown area which acts as a catalyst for beneficial change. Obstructed by turmoil both mentally and physically, the protagonist Tom Brennan relieves his severe life in the town of Coghill achieving new standards in conjunction to Lisa Forrest’s article ‘Testing new waters after leaving the swimming pool’ (TNWALTS) is another type towards transitional change that explores the personal crisis and career changes over

McCandless befriended these people, it is believed that he made such a strong impression on them that their connection left them with strange feelings after finding out about McCandless’ death.
Thomas Pringle wrote "The idea of Mary Prince's history was first suggested by herself. She wished it to be done, she said, that good people in England might hear from a slave what a slave had felt and suffered.” Mary Prince, was the first black woman to have her story published in Britain. Due to Mary Prince’s graphic detail, her anecdotes were sadistic to the extent that very few believed her . Mary Prince conveys that both slave owners and their slaves suffer physical and emotional effects of slavery, confirming Pringle’s write that "slavery is a curse to the oppressors scarcely less than the oppressed; it's natural tendency is to brutalize both.”
The star character throughout the entire series is Dr. Temperance Brennan, also known as “Bones.” She received this nickname from Booth due to her being an anthropologist and dealing with bones every day at the Jeffersonian Institute. In the first couple of seasons
Throughout literature, there a character who provides a moral compass for other characters. In William Shakespeare's Hamlet, Horatio’s character seems fairly simple: somewhat of a “yes-man” to Hamlet, often agreeing with anything Hamlet says. However, at the end of the play we understand his significance, as he is one of the last survivors. This transition is unexpected because for most of the play, Horatio is a reserved character and doesn’t speak very often. Despite this, it is clear that Horatio and Hamlet’s friendship is extremely deep, and Hamlet trusts Horatio more than anybody. At first, the relationship is one of a prince and an advisor, but as the play goes on we realize they are in fact close friends. Horatio is much more than a “yes-man” to Hamlet, even though this may not be visible for most of the play. This friendship is due to three of Horatio’s characteristics: trustworthiness, loyalty, and admiration, which make him an ideal friend to Hamlet. These traits also inspire confidence in Horatio from other characters in the play. Even Shakespeare shows that he values Horatio by allowing him to survive at the end of the play.
Detective Sturgis and Dr. Delaware decide that it would be a good idea for Dr. Delaware to locate and interview both the members of the committee and the individuals involved in the three cases. There were only three members of the committee. The members were Professor Hope Devane, another professor at the university, and a student named Casey Locking. The professor who served on the committee told Dr. Delaware that she only sat in on two of the cases and then dropped out because she felt the committee was too radical. She also said that Professor Devane exhibited signs of someone who might have been abused herself. Dr. Delaware interviewed the students involved in the three cases, with the exception of one young woman who seemed terrified. This girl claimed to have been raped by a fellow student who was a drama major.
In the play Hamlet, by William Shakespeare, the confidant Horatio is created to serve a number of different purposes. Horatio is a flat character. He is a loyal, obedient, and trustworthy companion to Hamlet. His character does not undergo any significant transformation throughout the play, except that he serves as a witness of the death of Hamlet, Claudius, and Gertrude. Horatio's role in the play seems to be as a utilitarian character that Shakespeare created in order to heighten the suspense of the play. Also for Horatio to be Hamlet's ear so as to appease the audience's ear, and to communicate the moral of the play.
Rhyme assembles his forensic team to begin the investigation. On the team, he assigned Amelia Sachs, Mel Cooper, Lon Selitto, and Jerry Banks to the case. As they begin the investigation, the bone collector is torturing his captive.
Horatio's second purpose is to be Hamlet's one true confidant. Apart from Hamlet's soliloquies, his conversations with Horatio are the only insight we have into what the Prince is really thinking and feeling. But why Hamlet chooses Horatio to become the sole person on whom he can rely is of primary concern here. From the first scene we see that Horatio is calm, resolute, and rational. Not afraid to confront the Ghost, Horatio demands that it speak if it knows what future awaits Denmark or if it has come to make a confession:
