Many people may think minor characters don't contribute at all to the structure of a book. But much of the importance of a minor character comes from the way they help shape other major characters. Along with forming these elements, minor characters also help develop and establish new themes throughout the book. They support the progression in the plot while giving additional understandings about major characters.

In both “The Big Cat” and “You’ll apologize if you have to”, we see stories that are about having control of your life and to not be afraid of change. They follow very similar narrative structures that led from an initial problem to a conflict in the middle of the story and finished with an open ending. In the open ending the readers were allowed to control the end of the story, which I believe ties into the main world idea of each story. “The Big Cat”, by Erdrich, started the exposition with an unnamed husband struggling to sleep because of his in-laws outrageous snoring at night. The exposition gave us an initial problem and kept us reading to see how the problem would unfold.…

Premodern authors such as Richard Kieckhefer and Heinrich Kramer and Jacob Sprenger produced pieces of literature depicting how the premodern witch was perceived during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. During the time period, there was a large emphasis on the church and since witchcraft went against the ideals of the church the premodern witch was considered an “evil” doer of magic. Modern authors such as Ronald Hutton and Meagan Bolds have formed pieces of literature giving definitions of a witch in the twenty-first century. Over time the ideals for a witch have shifted from a more evil nature to a more natural disposition. As of twenty-sixteen, the definition of a witch has altered to: a person, male or female, that practices magic…

(Character Analysis) “Her face was white-not mercly pale, but like white like snow or paper over icing sugar, except for her very red mouth” (Lewis 32). In the early chapters, the White Witch represents a villain when Edmund visits Narnia for the first time and encounters her. When Edmund first sees the “angelic” appearance of the White Witch, he assumes that she is full with nothing but good intentions.

For example, she is the one that drag Edmund into her castle and to betray his sisters and brother. In order to have what she want, she uses maleficent ways. For example, she is cruel when it is time to kill Aslan on the Stone Table. The following quote shows the nature of evil of the Witch: “Stop! said the Witch. Let him first be shaved” (Lewis 153).…
