Character Analysis Of The Character 'Dennis In Level Up'

Improved Essays
(Throughout the graphic novel) “Level up” the steady development of Human Spirit is very apparent in the main character Dennis. I believe that the quote “I am living the life of any man’s dreams, But why was I not happy?” shows Dennis’s final stage of development and his projections of rationality, and a desire for a better self. One of Dennis’s previous patient had just thanked him for his life saving acts, and this triggered a switch deep (within his heart). Dennis began to question where he stands in the society. Dennis is a character with many flaws, and one of his biggest flaw is his decision making skills.

    It is always astounding to me how much a person can go through, still persevere, and survive. Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s novel is a great example of this.

He must not only learn to survive on limited food, hard labor, and negative forty-degree weather, but he must learn to keep his identity in a place where the guards refer to him as a serial number, Shcha-854. In spite of this, he must learn to hold on to the little humanity he has left.…

    Character traits are extremely important in novels; they affect the way the reader feels about each of the characters. Authors will often give the protagonists positive and relatable character traits so that the reader will feel emotionally invested in the characters. The antagonist will usually have negative character traits to build up dislike so that the reader will root for the protagonist. Character traits in a book often drive the plot and lead to the climax. Without defining and compelling character traits a book can become stagnant.…

    Chris McCandless’ actions can be seen as rebellious at first, but as time goes on, it is clear that there is hostility between his parents and himself that he does not want to face or try to fix. In a dysfunctional family, there are two extremes when it comes to the outcome of the children: the rebel or the conformist. Although the older child is typically the conformist and the younger child is the rebel, the McCandless family is a little different because both children are the rebels. Krakauer says, “Also like Chris, she clashed fiercely with Walt and Billie as an adolescent… [but] Carine made peace with her parents shortly after Chris disappeared” (129).…

    The stories "An Adventure in Paris"(NASF. 493) by Guy De Maupassant and "Everyday Use"(NASF. 816) by Alice Walker showcase similar and different ways to present a story through point of view and characters. Both stories have characters that are functional and symbolic to the story. Each of these stories uses both a foil and utilitarian through one character, Dee and Jean Varin, that ultimately changes the protagonist for the better and allows them to see what they have. De Maupassant makes his story a mix of third-person story telling and first-person experience to expose the extremity of a woman's curiosity. Meanwhile, Walker only uses the first person narration, which gives us perspective into the protagonist’s mind.…
