Improved Essays
Every single character in the book has had setbacks and despite them they showed determination and courage throughout the whole book. Courage is seen a lot through Anh’s family and they were always using every opportunity they had to better themselves. Despite being different and having experienced what people would definitely would not want to. Determination was seen clearly in every character and they would never give up until they had complete what they set out to do. Determination and courage are two of the many qualities they all show in the book and is what drove them to be successful and without these qualities they would never have been as successful as they are now.
Determination is a quality that Hein and Tam show particularly well

The Messenger says to Creon “then with her dying breath she called down torments on your head- you killed her son.” The only person he affects is an insignificant character to play but also because of Haemon the wife died and Creon is in grief. Creon then realizes his error in his poor judgment towards Antigone but then he realizes it's too late because he lost Haemon and Eurydice.…

    Another common trope in witch-wizard fantasy is, magic must always be present in some way. This means throughout the story there must be a magical source or somebody who has the power to produce magical powers. In my own novel “Hex Hall” there is magic found throughout the story since the main character is a witch, she casts spells whenever she pleases and her father is a warlock so she gets her magical side from him. In Harry Potter it is present considering they attend a school specifically for witchcraft and wizardry, every student who attends must be of the magical background. Another one in this sub-genre is having friends and allies.…

For example, within the novel, Emi drives a “twin-turbo Toyota,” which represents a sign of status and this is what sets her apart from other characters she comes into contact with (Yamashita 14). To get back to the point, the final violent climax in the novel takes place on the freeway. Los Angeles, is known for its auto dependence and freeways, which are paralyzed when the roadway is blocked. In a like manner, the image of a “clogged freeway and hyper-violent response,” by the state to force homeless people out of their “newfound” homes advocates a central reality of free trade (159- 61).…
