In these four books all of the characters are relatable to each and myself to some extent. For example in Lef to Tell, Immaculee Ilibagiza might not be relatable to me by the things she went through but her personality. She is a strong willed woman who fears of losing her family and is confused on what is going on. She doesn’t let anyone tell her any different about herself and she fights for what she believes is the right thing to do. In My Lobotomy by Howard Dully, he is a lost soul, he is by himself fighting through all the struggle that he has been through . He has lost anyone in his life who has truly cared for him. This is a reflection of me because I know how it feels to be by yourself and alone, with no one around to guide or even

    Many times in our lives we are compared to our siblings. On many occasions, I am compared to my brother. People say that we have the same physique facial features, and height. Although these traits run in the family, I truly only want to be my own person. Just the other day someone called me “Michael.” The burn from my anger showed on my face. “I am NOT Michael,” I screamed; I am my own person. Just as we see similarities in family members, people also see similarities in stories written by the same author. In “The Devil and Tom Walker” and “Rip Van Winkle” we see similarities in setting, male protagonist, a female antagonist, and a mystic character.

A reader is meant to connect with the characters in emotional ways, understanding and following through their footsteps throughout the story. It is crucial to have sub-characters that create tension along with comfort, so the readers are able to connect with them through simple experiences. I was very moved by Christian’s character, because his decisions were connected with real life happenings. He loved a beautiful woman, but he wasn’t able to truly make her love him because of his lack of intelligence. Stories like these happen in everyday life, making his character even more respected because we’re bound to go through similar experiences. I was very pleased with his character features, even when he is unintelligent; he was able to connect with me, and the story perfectly.

    Many times when reading a novel, the reader connects with one of the characters and begins to sympathize with them. This could be because the reader understands what the character is going through or because we get to see things from the character’s perspective and their emotions and that in return allows a bond to form for the reader. The character that is the most intriguing for me and the one I found comparing to every book that I read during school was Stacey from the book “Ravensong” Lee Maracle. The character Stacey goes through a lot of internal battle with herself and it’s on her path to discovery that she begins to understand herself and what she’s capable of. Throughout the novel, Stacey has a few issues she tries to work through.

    There is the escape from reality, a low level job, and a way of life, in general. Each character is very relatable simply because so many people, in real life, are not happy with the way their lives are or seem to be turning out. “Mountain climbers don’t carry bricks”-Zig Ziglar. Sometimes one has to be selfish to better his or her situation. Laura wants to escape the fact that she is different and others don’t understand her. Amanda spends her time regretting her choice to marry Laura and Tom’s father who she blames for her current circumstances. She really wants her children to be happy, but maybe should spend more time thinking about what to say next. Jim has a reasonable desire for escape; a little more money, a little less work. Tom is beyond dissatisfied but wants to be responsible, but also seemingly envies his father’s escape and leaving him to be the man of the house. Williams likes to use bird imagery in his writing. Birds can symbolize freedom. They can go as they please and never look back. Tom leaves everything behind and finally escapes in the

    Most stories if not all have a moral to learn and many times authors give their characters traits that will allow the audience to understand the concept which they are attempting to convey. Both Franz Kafka and Mary Shelley give their protagonist negative traits that will promote a feeling of antipathy amongst the readers. It is likely that if the reader is able to view and analyze how the character’s negative attitudes greatly affect the plot of the novel they will learn to change their own attitudes if self-identification is achieved thus possibly carrying out the message that the author was attempting to achieve.
