Recommended: Personal narrative friendship

In two of the three books in this series - Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy, and Don’t Judge a Girl by Her Cover - one character that was prominent was Zach Goode. However, Zach is an enigmatic character, whose relationship with Cammie - not to mention Zach himself - changed rapidly. After taking a closer look at Zach’s character, it is quite easy to find some very interesting things. At first, in Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy, Zach is a mysterious boy that Cammie, Macey, Bex, and Liz spend hours trying to figure out. For example, the study date with Cammie and Zach. While Cammie was trying to get information, Zach was tricking and messing with her. This is a real hint at his character traits. The character trait is again showed when the Code Black happened and Zach didn’t own up to being with Cammie. (“‘Cammie?’ Zach asked, sounding confused. ‘Morgan?’ he asked again, then laughed. ‘Why would I be with her?’” -page 156) Though these two examples are not quite the same, they still both show similar character traits of Zach. However, soon we see him begin to change. As Cammie realized that Zach wasn’t as guilty as she thought (at the end of the book) they started working together to get the disk back. Zach changes from a lying, backstabbing boy to an ally. …show more content…

At the start of the books, Cammie and Zach disliked each other. However, soon their relationship becomes neutral, then they become friends. Finally, they start to love each other. I think that this is supposed to show, as I mentioned before, how love really is. It’s no secret that Zach and Cammie's love each other - it’s obvious to anyone who read this series. However, after seeing how long of a path these two characters travelled, you can see that there has to be some amount of symbolism in there. What I found was this: their relationship showed the ups and downs of love, but it also taught the readers that if love was true, it stayed

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. This is emphasized through her village and in her school that is located across the bridge in white town. Stacey begins dealing with the loss of Nora, and elder in her town. And this in return begins the chain of events that Stacey begins on the path of self-discovery not only on herself but everyone around her. She begins to see things differently and clearly. Stacey is a very complex and confused character, and she begins to work through these complexities through her thoughts, statements and actions.

    There are many similarities and differences between Frederick Douglass and Peyton Farquarh, but one of them specifically is that they are both being held captive against their will, and being threatened with death. Frederick Douglass is held captive by the slave owner, Mr. Covey, and Peyton Farquarh is held captive by the Union Army for execution. A particular thing in Douglas's narrative that points to this is when he says, “I should live with but to die with him; that Covey would surely kill me; he was in a fair way for it.” The way this is shown in An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge when the narrator says “The man who was engaged in being hanged was apparently about thirty-five years of age.” Both of these characters are going through a similar situation, involving death.

Sophie is very scared about the whole situation, and tells her friend David “We’re going away…Mommy said that we would have to go away if anyone ever found out.

    Growing up as a youngster in the 1990s, it was impossible to escape the popularity of R.L. Stine’s book series, Goosebumps. Come to think of it, that could be one of the many reasons for my undying devotion to the horror genre. Regardless, Stine’s novels were one of the cornerstones of a generation – incomparable to any other youngster novel series that was one the market, at least from a male perspective, I suppose.
