Recommended: Essay about overcoming obstacles

the character I chose was Rudy. rudy is very persistent in playing baseball. I first saw this character trait when even tho Alfredo said he could not run, Rudy told him that he was a good hitter, Again Alfredo argued against him and said that the team would not agree. he went home and was let down but was still determined to get on the team. He also never let his leg brace get to him. When the team played the leopards, they were very sure that they could beat a boy with a leg brace, but Rudy did not let that stop him from being the hitter. he was then supposed to hit a home run but he didn't hit the ball as hard as expected & Alfredo twisted his ankle trying to run. so the next time Rudy was up to bat he hit 2 strikes then he hit the ball,

Brian knows more about baseball than most MLB players. He tries to get Hank Bishop to be a good hitter again. Hank started going through a slump and almost nobody believed in him. He struck out or grounded out almost every time. Brian helped him get out of his slump and get to his 500 home runs. Brian had three big character traits, nervous, respectful, and helpful. His character traits affected him by making him who he is and making him a great person. Nervous changed him because he needed to tell Hank what was wrong with his swing but he waited a long time.

  • Joe Rantz Character Analysis

    398 Words  | 1 Pages

    As I read pages 134-135 I began to realize that Joe Rantz is particularly much different from me. First, at the start of page 134 Thula is shutting Joe out of her life again. I don’t have a step parent but even if I did I would never let anyone treat me this way for most of my life. I believe that makes this passage a window so I may observe a different way to handle things. Even Joyce, Joe’s fiancé does not understand why Joe would allow himself to be looked upon in this manner. Joe is very impassive and relenting once Thula tells him to leave. This is a noticeably different personality from people I have encountered. It gives me a window to see a different mindset and way of thinking. Of which is wonderful for a reader because often we assume

Rosemary is expected as a woman in society to be supported by a man, and make it in the world with a man, which she doesn’t have, and her need to have a “family” drives her to focus of that rather than focusing on being a good parent to her son.

    y character of choice is one that is close to my heart. He is ridiculously smart, a little eccentric, okay, he is very eccentric, but that is what makes him lovable and unlikeable at times. I have read every book and watched every show. He is not the most relatable; however, his condition is understandable. My character of choice is Mr. Adrian Monk. He is a San Francisco Detective who has many phobias. His wife was murdered causing him to become a near hermit if not for his talent for observation that forces him into work. His one friend, the Captain of the police force, depends on him. It is his phobias that give him an almost supernatural vision that many others lack due to the absence of the phobias and his obsessive-compulsive disorder.
