As I was watching Harry Potter on TBS, I saw how Ron Weasly affected Harry and how he acted and what he did because he knew Ron was there for him. Harry knew that whatever he did Ron was going to be there for him. So I started to think to myself, Ron is a sidekick. So, I believe the sidekick affects the story more than the main character because, without the sidekick the main character won't have anyone to be there so they can't make those bold decisions to take down the enemy. So, What is the “Loyal Companion/Sidekick archetype? What exactly is an archetype? Also, how does the “Loyal Companion/Sidekick” affect the decision/choices the main character makes? Also who exactly is the Sidekick? So all these questions build up to one idea, What is the most important idea about being humans that supports the loyal companion archetype? I believe, the reason we as humans want to help their best friends/ “main character” is to show them the loyalness they have, and they want to be trusted so they have more opportunities to show they are worthy. …show more content…
Let's see is the Loyal Companion archetype changes the main characters. In the book hunger games “And suddenly, I'm not thinking of Gale but of Peeta and. Peeta! He saved my life! I think. Because by the time we met up” (Suzanne, P120)Peta in hunger games is Katniss's sidekick. He does anything; he risks his life, and he is friends the killers so that he can get an advantage and help Katniss survive. He shows he will help Katniss in every way possible, because he is her loyal friend/loyal companion. He impacts her decisions because he tries to help her with everything he can do so that at the end she can go be with her family. As shown here, the main character is devoured with help and support from the Loyal Companion/ Sidekick because all he/she wants to do is show that they can do

In the beginning there was a similarity of a love triangle going on in both stories. It involves Juliet, Romeo, and Paris. Also Katniss, Peeta, and Gale. Katniss and Gale seem to really like and care for each other in the beginning. However as Katniss gets to know Peeta and she truly finds out he had already liked her, from their past, she starts to like him as well. Toward the end when Katniss and Peeta are in the cave, Gale sees them in the games as Katniss starts getting feelings towards Peeta because it didn’t work out between Katniss and Gale. In the same way as when Romeo cries over Rosaline, thinking Rosaline liked him but Romeo ends up getting heartbroken. He sees Juliet and gets to know her and falls for Juliet because he knows that she likes him back too, unlike Rosaline. Juliet really loves Romeo but their love is forbidden because of their parents. Juliet is forced to marry Paris who she doesn’t like. Throughout the book Haymitch is both mentor and role model for Katniss and Peeta. Similar to Friar and Nurse are towards Romeo and Juliet. Friar and Nurse both tell Romeo and Juliet right to wrong and they can come to them for their care and help. Although the parents of Romeo and Juliet would have not let them be together because of their alliance, in the end of The Hunger Games, Katniss and Peeta are able to be together and go back home to their
To keep a strong friendship you need to stay loyal to one another just as much as Ponyboy and his brothers stay loyal to each other after stating in chapter twelve “If we don’t have each other, we don’t have anything.” Through passionate tone used by Sodapop throughout this quote we are shown that after everything they have been through that they trust each other and that staying together is all
When dealing with the character archetype there are several characters those being the mentor and the evil figure with an ultimately good heart. To begin with, the mentor is
Man needs companionship and has difficulty maintaining it because no humans think the exact same or have the exact same beliefs. To maintain a companion you must have things in common, you must be able to disagree with a sort of respectful understanding, and finally you must care legitimately about that person. These three requirements to preserve a companionship are at times arduous to keep true. Some people do not have the time, concern, or the ability to sustain a veritable friendship with a companion or companions.
The quality of being loyal to someone or something is a choice of action that helps define loyalty as a person. Being loyal would be a person giving or showing continuous support to someone or something. Loyalty plays a major role in everyday life. Some people honor loyalty and some people couldn’t care less about having such a thing. Loyalty consists of working a marriage out, maintaining a good reputation, and keeping a steady job. According to Maurice Franks, “Loyalty cannot be blueprinted. It cannot be produced on an assembly line. In fact, it cannot be manufactured at all, for its origin is the human heart the center of self-respect and human dignity. It is a force which leaps into being only when conditions are exactly right for it and it is a force very sensitive to betrayal.”
She was very well known for her independence, however, Katniss became dependent upon others. Lastly, Katniss developed by not only caring for her family, but also for people she barely knew. “To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly” (Henri Bergson). To conclude, everyone is experiencing changes every day, being put in tough situations just quickens these changes. Just as we saw in Katniss over a small period of time she transformed into a whole other
In J.R.R. Tolkien 's novel The Hobbit, male friendship is a major theme that exists throughout the text. Male individuals form special bonds with one another through loyalty and support. Even in the warlike setting through the whole of the novel, characters who otherwise couldn 't be friends find a common ground and are able to form a friendship and become dependable. In the Fandom, the importance of these male characters retaining their friendships is relevant everywhere in art, fan fiction, and blogs. However since there are a lack of female characters in the text to create a romantic connection with, fans often sexualize the relationships from the novel. Regardless of how the fandom changes the roles of the relationships, male companionship
Another way that Katniss changes emotionally is the way that she deals with her feelings about the other Tribute selected from her district, Peeta Mellark. This is a boy who saved Katniss and her family from starving many years ago by tossing her a loaf of burnt bread. In striking contrast, that same boy that once saved her life, could now be the one that brought an end to it. However, is see...
Throughout the year, there have been multiple values portrayed throughout the numerous characters we have read about. Out of the many values, loyalty has been the most expressed. Loyalty has also been a value that supports and expands the story's theme. As an example, Of Mice and Men has a theme of how strength and opportunity can change a person, not always for the good. Therfore because Lennie is loyal to George, the amount of power and opportunities that George gains puts him in a rough situation, changing him for better or worse. The three main characters that showed the most loyalty are Boxer, Lennie, and Antigone. Each character distinguishes loyalty at different times and in different ways, however these characters are best defined as loyal.
She is also portrayed as tough and has a lack of ability which is supposed to be in girl 's attributes. Katniss also plays the role of protector in the movie clip, protecting herself and other members of her group from various risks. The role of protection in many communities is usually done by men and boys. It is an exception to the traditional gender roles that Katniss plays this role while characters such as Peeta depended upon her for their protection. Linda Holmes indicated in her article “What makes Katniss stand out” that Katniss defies the traditional gender roles for heroines and also Peeta defies the typical known versions of gender roles about boyfriend. The evidence
As princesses of the canine universe, Annie type dogs have a loving yet manipulative personality. An Annie dog assumes the role of queen bee. As leader of the pack, she keeps everybody in line. She dominates all of the other dogs, often by physical herding or malicious growl. Tough the tough façade she has created does not accurately represent her entire personality. There is a bit of a diva atop Annie dogs’ fur, especially when anger causes the hairs of her back to stand on end. But, she is not all diva. To other members of the canine breed, Annie types seem rough and tough, but whenever a familiar human is thrown into the dynamic, Annie dogs know how to suck up. Immediately, rolling over and showing off the pink exposed skin of the belly. They loose their rough edges and show off the sweet puppy that still remains beneath the growling front. Annie dogs become the epitome of loyal, loving pets. Being the lightest sleeper’s in the canine world, Annie types will awake at any noise, exemplifying how they protect familiar humans from creepy and questionable humans. They always come when called, even if it means leaving the hot trail of a chipmunk or bunny rabbit. Annie dogs fulfill the loyal and protective branches of man’s best friend’s quality list.
A growing number of studies have attempted to support the theory that cats and dogs differ in their personality attributes. Several common factors have emerged across these studies, such as difference among social behaviours. Higher levels of dominance and hostility have been reported among domestic cats (as cited in Fonberg, 1985). Not surprisingly, domesticated dogs are higher in submissive behaviours (as cited in Marder, 1989). Woodward et al. also reflect upon previously held theories of companion animal attachment that suggest attachment is mediated by the needs of the owner and the characteristics of their pet.
Women are viewed as weak creatures and men as providers. The role of women usually consists of giving birth, staying at home, taking care of domestic labor such as cooking, cleaning, sewing, etcetera; while men leave the house and bring back the supplies. These ‘gender roles’ are supported in many cases by literature. In Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, one of the main characters –Kate – delivers a speech expressing how women should treat men. She mentions that men are women’s kings and governors; they care for women and work day and night to cater to their needs therefore women should take their boots off when they arrive home; women owe men obedience. Pieces of writing like these promote gender stereotype and assists its prevalence. However, in the Hunger Games the roles are exchanged. When Katniss’s dad dies, she essentially becomes the ‘man’ of the house providing her family with food and what is necessary for them to survive. She’s an exceptional hunter and hardworking survivor whose main priority is her family’s well being. Peeta on the other hand appears as a loving and compassionate individual; not even his mom believes in his abilities to survive but she mentions that Katniss stands the chance of survival. He also has been in love with Katniss since they were kids; relationships and romance are tied with femininity but in this case it is the opposite. Even though Peeta cannot hunt or utilize weapons, which makes him weaker in comparison to Katniss, he’s artistic – another attribute associated with the female gender. Hunger Games demonstrates the performance of women as leaders and goes beyond prejudice-filled gender
One of the most important details in a friendship is to never leave or forsake the other. A friend is also loyal, for example in the movie Lord of the Rings, Froto and Sam Wise had a wonderful fellowship. They lived in peace and in one accord. Also in the movie, gandalf sent froto on a mission. Froto was scared and he didn’t want to go on the journey by himself.
