Jim Rhon Character Analysis

Improved Essays
“You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with” (Jim Rhon). The five people a person typically spends time with are normally somewhat like them. If not, then they most likely do not enjoy their presence. Some people chose to have a larger group of friends but end up being around the ones most similar to themselves. Some people may think Jim Rhon is wrong because they think opposites attract. This may be true for extroverts but not all. Personally, I am an extrovert, but I do have a close circle of good friends. They consist of my friends Ryan, Greg, Nick, Jessica and Caroline. I believe each person is different in their own way, yet each one has something in common with me. I think Jim Rhon is right because if I did not like certain characteristics of someone, then why would I bother hanging out with them? …show more content…
Ryan is my best friend, and his parents are really nice. He is like the twin brother I've always wanted but never had. Too bad we aren’t actually brothers. We are on the same wrestling team, and when I'm upset, he always says, “Hate the player, not the game”. He says this because I get frustrated easily, and it's hard to get me out of my bad mood. I also really enjoy spending time with my brother Greg. Nick and I both share a love for lacrosse; it is known as the fastest game on two feet. Although we are on different teams, we treat eachother like garbage on the field and as brothers off the field. For instance, he once sprayed Axe cologne all over my gear. Most of the people at South River call him the long haired kid on the DeMatha lacrosse

At the heart of the story, Harrison is the protagonist that is only included in a quarter of the story. Nevertheless, Harrison is the most important character in the entire piece because he is so dynamic. Harrison is described as a genius, athlete, and extremely dangerous.…

    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.
