Number 6 Character Analysis

I have chosen to put a candle inside of the shoebox to represent the main character in the book, John, or Number Four. In the story John Smith has is immune to fire on the exterior of his body, but not the inside of his body. John Smith is able to control and create light, and because of that, he is also able to control fire. This power of Johns doesn't just allow him to control fire, but also energy itself making John's power limitless. There is a thermometer in the shoebox because the character in the story, Number Six, has the ability to manipulate, but not create, wind, water, fire, and lightning. As a byproduct, Six can control the weather, and included in Six's power to control elements and weather, she can also control temperature …show more content…
She was thought to have no powers, but later she discovered she could see into the future, and see all of the possibilities of what might happen later on. Ella sees these futures through her dreams or visions, and she can share them with other people through telepathy or physically making contact with another person. I chose the calendar to represent Ella's ability to gaze into future. There was a character named Number One who died early on in the books, but he was merged with an alien creature giving the creature all of Number One's powers. This creature's name is Adam Sutekh, and he gained the power to create earthquakes and tremors. These earthquakes can be in massive or limited, forceful or feeble. This rock is a representation of the skill that Adam mainly uses to his benefit. On the sides of the Box i have put a photograph of the two main character's Six and Four. These are the depictions of them from the movie, which matches the description of them from the book. I have also put a picture of destruction in New York, since in the book New York gets reduced to rubble by aliens called Mogadorians, and a picture of a Mayan Pyramid in the rainforest, which is where the climax and half the story take

    While the majority of Bacon’s “Idols” that “beset” our minds and lead to error are present in Plautus’ play, Double Bind, the Idols of the theater is the most prevalent “Idol” with regards to how male characters both discuss and engage with female characters. The Idols of the theater are used as methods for understanding, which are dramatized (in that they are generalizations or stereotypes), unreal, and are made up or false, all of which ultimately lead to some form of error. Double Bind plays into the stereotypes of women as inherently less than men as they are considered idiotic and stupid, promiscuous, and crazy. This connects to the Idols of the theater because the male characters only see the predominant female characters, such as Dovey and Loveykins, in terms of generalizations or stereotypes of their gender. Male characters in Double Bind, such as Clueless One, Clueless Two, Antiquides, Smug, and Diddley not only discuss females as a generalized form of error, but they also engage with the females in a manner…

    Speak is a coming-of-age novel about 14-year-old Melinda Sordino as she struggles with the weight of her pain as a victim of rape. Melinda is a fictional character; yet, for thousands of other girls in the world, her experiences are a vivid reality.
