There are many ways to describe a character. Some ways are through dialogue, character description, language etc. “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver and “Shiloh” by Bobbie Ann Mason, both made characters very similar.

Finally, SpongeBob and I try to come off friendly to everybody when we can.…

Who does the main character remind you of in real life? Ged kinda reminded me of myself. Especially when he was told he wasn’t as good as Jasper and he immediately had to prove himself even though it was a really dumb and dangerous idea to do so.

I chose Diary of a Wimpy Kid because during this course, the subject of childhood development really interest me. Another stage that charmed me was adolescents, which is why I chose Easy A; it also helped that I have seen both movies and enjoyed them as well. I like how the two stages, in a sense, blend together; the transition from childhood to adolescents is a complex one and I believe these two movies give a great point of view on the challenges and changes individuals at this age go through on daily basis. Diary of a Wimpy Kid is appealing to both young boys and girls because it captures the struggles of a child at this age trying to figure out the world around them, trying to make sense of their surroundings; basically a child theorizing…
