2. The way that I feel about the characters is most of them are brave and strong. The way that they could just look at shawn and not see him as someone that is dead inside but a human being. The characters that I liked in the story were the mother, Paul the brother, and Cindy the sister because they They really understood who and what shan is like on page 17 when Cindy watch the dog die she became more aware of her brother Shawns condision and realized death for the first trime getting scared that was going to be her brother. The one character that I didn't like was Shawns Father because he just walked away. He walked away from his proplems and that to me is week I do know that it must of been hard looking at Shawn like that but nobody else walked away. …show more content…
I belive that all but one of the characters in the book "Stuck In Neutral" were very strong to be able to treat Shawn as much as they can like a persn that could walk around and talk also they are brave for being able to stik right by his side and to help him through everything in life to feed him, to bath him, and to change him. I belive that this is the best family for Shawn o be with and to help him.

The book had a few characters that I liked, but a lot of characters that I disliked. For example Yasmine was a character that I disliked. I didn’t like her because she brought pain to Paige’s life. Yasmine and Paige were best friends for months in Sixth grade. They were constantly doing fun activities together, like having sleepovers or planning each other’s birthday parties, but all that was ruined by a mistake Yasmine made. Paige and Yasmine were at a school dance, when

Pleasure, sorrow, and Curiosity are what these characters made you feel at the end.

Julius Caesar is mentioned throughout the book, A Long Way Gone, many times.

In Dead End in Norvelt the character who I thought could be my best friend was Bunny. She could be a best friend because she is competitive,tough and not scared of anything. On page 62 the book states, “she's tough, smart, and daring”. The evidence supports my reasoning because it is stating the same character traits that I was stating just a little different.
The natural desire of Equality 7-2521 is knowledge who is born with a curse of uniqueness. He abides within the walls of a collectivist society. The citizens of this society prioritize the good of society over the welfare of the individual. In the beginning of the novel, Equality confesses that “[He] have broken the laws.

Much work goes into musical , as was the case in “Catch Me If You Can”,which La Joya Middle School drama had the pleasure of watching on January 15, put on by El Diamante High School. The musical was directed by John Sorber and Michael Tackett. This amazing production included many talented actors such as Maverik Dakota Raven starring as Frank Abagnale Jr., Kiley Hoffman playing Brenda Strong, and Jonathan Johns as Carl Hanratty. This incredible play carried a strong lesson. As was seen the protagonist ran from his problems and pretended to be someone who he wasn't. The plot of this story showed us that we can't run from our problems, for that only worsens the situation and is a snowball for our problems.
Defining the American character is quite difficult because American identity is vaguely founded on shared values and ideologies, more so than a particular creed, race, or culture. In order to describe the American character, we will consider the dominate and distinctive qualities of Americans as interpreted by J. Hector St. Jon De Crèvecoeur and Thomas Paine. First, we will examine how Crèvecoeur illustrates Americans as industrious, prideful, and political in “Letters from an American Farmer.” Then, we will analyze from Thomas Paine's “Common Sense” how he depicts the prevalent qualities of Americans to be driven by justice, liberty, emotions, and individualism. Also, because both authors consider the American character and culture different
I think Jeremy Fink is the main character and Lizzy Muldon is like his sidekick. Jeremy is a very, very picky eater. He eats peanut butter sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, dinner and midnight snacks. As said in the preface,”My sweat smells like peanut butter. Since I’m such a picky eater, my mother feeds me peanut butter sandwiches at every meal, including breakfast and midnight snacks.” This is why there is a peanut butter sandwich to represent Jeremy because it's all he eats. Jeremy also loves candy and has a mutant candy collection. For example, “Some of the best are a square Good & Plenty, a candy corn with an extra layer of white and my pride and joy - a peanut M&M the size of my pinky finger.” His father’s motto was Life is short; eat
Equality 7-2521 was born with a quick mind that did not form to what was seen as normal in this collective society.

Noah is the one of the main characters of The Notebook. He is the hero of this novel. Noah represents true love and true loyalty.

Noah remains loyal to Allie even in the situation where he is unsure whether they will ever meet again or not.
It talks about how even long term low doses can lead to these cancers. So, we can imagine how high the doses of radiation the machine and the island must of had to lead them to that death. The narrator is unreliable character because he is living on an island that is unhealthy and brings death to those that come. The island is not made for someone to live there. There is nothing sustainable for a person to survive on. Whatever food or maybe resources have all been contaminated. The narrator says, “Hundreds of dead fish were floating on the water when I arrived, and removing them was an obnoxious task,” (Casares 16). The food and things he is eating makes him sick and hallucinate, “I was ill, haunted by hallucinations,” (Casares 13). He can’t
