The psychologist Brian Little Implies “People Flourish when they are engaged in occupations, roles or setting that are concordant with their personalities”, As read in the book “Quiet” by Susan Cain. Although you're an introvert living in a world where the extrovert ideal is praised; when you’re in a setting that concordant your personality you’re flourishing as a person and your personality will show more. Parenting can be difficult when raising a child who’s introvert, parents tend to believe something is wrong with their child, and try to find help. Parents try to find help for their children so better socialize at home, school and even playgrounds; Parents believe their child's personality might show better and flourish as a person when changing or helping fix the child. Introversion is not something a person can change overnight just by getting help, going to sleep to waking up the next day into an extrovert; And changing the setting of the child doesn’t mean it will change the child.

When being a parent who’s extrovert and raising a child who’s introvert you may realize the child is locked in their room or doesn’t really like to socialize with others, which makes you worry there is something wrong with the child but as an introvert this can be completely normal. In the book “Quiet” there is an example of parents taking their introvert child to receive treatment four times although the doctor told the parents there was nothing wrong with the child and that's just who the child is. Being an introvert its “Nature”- something that is within and this can be proven through the experiment a developmental psychologist named Jerome Kagan in the book “Quiet” performs on children. The experiment Kagan performs consist of having four month
The book Blind, written by Rachel DeWoskin, is about a highschool sophomore named Emma, who went blind after being struck in the face with a firework. When she first lost her sight, Emma was placed in a hospital for over 2 months, and once she was released, she could finally go home again. DeWoskin uses the characterization of Emma throughout the beginning of the text to help the reader understand the character’s struggle more. Especially in the first few chapters, it was difficult for Emma to adapt to a world without sight. For instance, DeWoskin writes, “And sat down, numb, on our gold couch. And tried to open my eyes, rocked, counted my legs and arms and fingers. I didn’t cry. Or talk” (DeWoskin 44). As a result of losing a very important scent, she’s started to act differently from a person with sight.

The Power of an Author Authors have the ability justify the worst actions. Authors have a way of romanticizing certain situations in order to convey a specific message. A good author has power to influence the reader into believing whatever it is the author wants. When it comes to the story of Hannah Dustan, authors such as John Greenleaf Whittier have romanticized her captivity story along with the actions she took throughout her journey. Introducing a character that will be seen in the story is one of the most vital parts when creating a piece of literature.
People are like pieces of various, mind-blowing art projects; they come in all shapes and sizes, and some are more detailed than others. Shirley Jackson’s short story, “The Possibility of Evil”, provides a specific example in one character. Miss Strangeworth is introduced, and she can be described as arrogant, outgoing, and meddlesome. Miss Strangeworth’s character can be analyzed by considering what she does, what the narrator says about her, and how other characters interact with her.
In the short story, “Until Gwen” by Dennis Lehane, it starts off with the main character named Bobby who is getting picked up by his father from prison with a stolen Dodge Neon. His father wasn’t alone, he brought himself a company and it was a hooker named Mandy. We got a sense of who his father was, a “professional thief, a consummate con man” (647). We don’t know why he was in prison until the rest of the story slowly reveals the flashbacks he has with his girlfriend Gwen and the incident prior of going to jail. Bobby has no sense of who he is or where he is from because there no proof of record of him such as a birth certificate. After meeting Gwen, his life has changed and felt the sense of belonging into the world he is living in. Bobby’s
First and foremost, the novel Hush by Jacqueline Woodson deals with a lot of issues, but if we really look closely at Toswiah/Evie’s internal journey we really understand that the book revolves around Evie/Toswiah and how she needs to about figure out who she is. Toswiah/Evie asks herself questions within the novel about her identity. So, if I were to judge: I believe the uprising theme of Hush is to never forget who you are. I say this because her character keeps reminiscing about how her life was in Denver how she had what she believes is “the perfect life” she had a roof over her head, food on the table, and a best friend who meant to world to her. In the novel Toswiah/Evie begins to question her external circumstances. For instance, being placed in the Witness Protection Program, and being

Humans can be pushed far past their limits before they have realized they’ve had enough. Very few people in this world can pick themselves back up when being pushed into the dirt by their very worst enemies. Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken represents this very idea. Louie Zamperini’s life was almost perfect until he was sent into a war zone. He experienced being tormented and physically abused every day as a POW without being able to fight back. The abuse taught him to “rise”, as stated in Maya Angelou’s “Still I Rise”. Angelou wrote about the struggles of being belittled by others. “Still I Rise” and Unbroken are both similar because they both exemplify having the ability to face your enemies and leaving your anger in the past.

There were three temperament profiles that stood out from those results. First we have a well-adjusted "typical" profile, which means those children was prone to anger, have lower levels of social fear and low activity level.
