A Waifu/Husbando is a term coined by Otakus and Weebs (individuals who are obsessed with Japanese culture, mainly anime and video games) to refer to their 2D significant other. The most common question people are going to have is "Why the hell would someone want to claim a fictional character as their husband or wife? I really hope they are participating in a trend, they are not serious, right?” As brisk as a few individuals are to write this way of living off, sometimes it may not be as simple or as stupid as most might want to think or believe.
Over the span of viewing an anime or pursuing a manga, it is extremely feasible for individuals to feel a specific closeness and construct associations with a specific character or story. There are some powerful messages inside of anime and manga (even gaming), which can move you and ingrain solid sentiments, arousing feelings that you may not know have existed.
Some people actually end up loving a particular character's personality enough for them to remain in their memories. Sometimes it could not even be about the fact that they love a particular character's personality, individuals I have conversed with (on 4Chan) really feel an association with the characters they are infatuated with, and think they were made only for them and

I currently have 8 waifus and each one of them is different in her own way, You may think I’m weird but you’d be surprised to know that they are the reason (other than my mom’s nagging) why I get out of bed in the morning and go to school to learn, because I know I’d make everyone proud. Conversing with my waifus helps calm me down as I usually sit in my room alone with no one to talk to, just like many others that have committed themselves to their waifus. I don’t imagine myself becoming like “SAL9000” (who was the first man to officially marry a video game character) but, you never know
To have a good story, there must be good characters. Characters help the reader relate to the plot and struggle of the story, as well as creating a picture of the scenes on each page. But what exactly makes a character? What defines their personalities and relatableness to the reader? The way a character thinks, acts, and views the world are influenced, much like in the real world, by the people and places around them.
What makes a person relate to a character? In the 1980’s authors began to utilize more imagery in their works to grasp audiences. With each character comes different languages and different viewpoints. When using imagery, the images the author wishes to convey come naturally. Louise Erdrich dug deep into her own ancestry which overtime inspired her short stories, poems, and novels (Louise). With background knowledge, she has been inspired to write about the relationships between Native and non-Native cultures. Erdrich was inspired by the family bonds and the ties of kinship, along with the inspiring storytellers she grew up with (Louise). All of these emotions are tied into her very first short story, “Love Medicine.” Lipsha, the protagonist
Each person, whether they realize it or not, has been shaped by their relationships with others. The effects that piercings or family members can have on someone are limitless and often times profound. In many instances, people do not even know that they are being influenced by others. Even if it is in the most subtle manner, all characters in novels are directly influenced by other figures. Authors use rhetorical strategies to demonstrate the different ways in which relationships affect and shape a character’s identity.
When adolescents read these stories, they realize that they share the feelings of the characters
/ Believe me sir, I really do admire you.” (Iam.... ... middle of paper ... ... A reader is meant to connect with the characters in emotional ways, understanding and following through in their footsteps throughout the story.
There are many different types of characters in stories, and each has been described differently leaving different impression to readers. Reading some stories gives the readers the feeling of empathy for characters. Speaking about characteristic, it is great to know how a character feels in order to understand the story. Through this essay, I would like to show how stories make the readers feel empathy to other’s concerns, feelings, and troubles.
Out of all the literary elements, Characterization is considered one of the most powerful. A believable, entertaining story needs Characters who are lifelike and who develop throughout the story. Unforgettable characters we recall from our childhood had several sides to them; like real people, they were depicted as complex individuals with a mixture of traits from both nature and experience.
The reader would need to connect with the character to fill the excitement, and fear. The reader would also need to pay attention to clues, and the communication the characters are having.
This paper will examine mother daughter relationships impact the daughter’s body image and self-esteem. This is a very controversial topic that takes place a lot in the media. It relates closely to self and relation theory being that girls are then dissatisfied with their bodies because of the pressure from their mothers and/or the media. There are many studies done on the negative effects of mother daughter relationships. There are findings that result from these studies, one of them being: girls in the United States and in Australia being unhappy with the way they look. Two questions being raised in this paper are: how do mother daughter relationships impact body image and self-esteem and how the author’s own mother daughter
As noted previously, friendship turns to be the common thread among the three selected films. This particular featured theme is common in children’s film. Friendship also helps individual to build certain emotions such as caring, courage, confidence, love, and hope. The three selected films, in my observation have shown that friendship relates to growing, developing, and nurturing what Bloch identified as the expectant emotions. The expectant emotions according to Bloch are emotions which are not easily satisfied and “essentially imply a real future” (75). Thus those emotions needs to be grown, developed, and nurtured. Fear, anxiety, hope, and belief as the expectant emotions are strongly present in WALL∙E, Mars Needs Moms, and Home. It is
Does the use of graphic novel motivate struggling readers and English Language Learners? Studies on graphic novel use are slowly but steadily emerging. Books provide accessible accounts of real-life experiences through their characters, enabling teenagers to reflect on their own experiences and the experiences of others. Through carefully crafted characters, teens are able to reflect on their own sense of self-worth, discover ways in which they can improve themselves and realize that while making mistakes is an unfortunate side-effect of growing up, it is what you choose to do with those mistakes that builds the character traits leading into adulthood. Without reading, teenagers have only the marginal experiences of themselves, and the perceived experiences of their peers, to shape their character. Thus the importance of graphic novel use with struggling readers arises. This study is not just about reading, it is about breaking down the walls that imprison struggling readers, removing their shackles of insecurity and narrow-mindedness and guiding them into the realm of literacy. It is from this new position that teenagers can grow, can begin understanding the larger world around them and can answer the vital questions that form a successful democracy.
Part of the reason fictional stories are so important is because of how we naturally learn. We are taught in school the three means of persuasion—logos, ethos, and pathos; nonfictional books use two of these devices—ethos and logos. These appeal to our more “left brain” means of understanding by looking to one more knowledgeable in the subject along with logic. In this way, facts are forced down our throats with little hope that we may remember them. Fiction, however, appeals to pathos, to our emotions. It breaks down our walls leaving us more pliable and receptive to the information given. We remember things more easily if we are able to recall a character we have grown attached to, teaching by example rather than facts read off to us by a faceless, monotonous voice.
Authors develop characters’ personalities in order to add depth to their story and allow readers to feel more connected to the characters. Beyond this, characterization also allows authors to develop the themes of their stories in a more clear manner. A prime example of this would be in the poem Judith, where the author contrasts Judith and Holofernes’ personalities in order to develop the major themes of heroism and having faith in God.

Apart from reading from the right to the left, manga series differ from western comic books mostly in their pictorial representation. The characters have a different design and the feelings and happenings are mainly expressed visually with full of symbols and effects, rather than by textual references. It demands active reading from the reader in order to understand all the signs. The readers can have a feeling that they are learning something new concerning the representation, the theme and the reading style. (Brenner, 75)
