    Chiwetel Ejiofor (Solomon Northup) this character is a real live person, it’s his story of what he saw and did. Steve McQueen needs to use this character because it was based off in Solomon’s plot and real live events he had been through and experienced. It’s like giving a voice to one’s story who was a survivor in slavery and his actions towards it. Solomon is very strong spirited, a believer, and a strong person to go through 12 years of slavery. McQueen used Chiwetel Ejiofor as Solomon because he knows that this actor would perform very well for this film.…

I think that Menelaos feels guilty about how he acquired all of the tangible valuables that he has in his home. He would rather have his war pals with him and less of those possessions he looted. In my opinion, Menelaos values the little inexpensive things over the tangible…

    I will be evaluating the character of Sheila Mant; she is self-indulgent and rude. First, she only talks about herself and how somebody said she should be a model. That is very self-indulgent because when you talk about how somebody said you should be a model it is like saying that you are the prettiest. It is selfish and cocky to say how somebody else thinks you are beautiful when you are on a date.…

    Tsukuru Character Analysis

    • 7 Pages

    Murakami employed stark contrasts in order to emphasise the inherent sorrow of a particular situation. For instance Murakami describes the otherwise joyous image of blooming cherry blossoms with the melancholy of Tsukuru losing another friend, “On the trees, cherry blossoms bloomed, then scattered, but still no word came from his younger friend”. The main goals of Murakami with his particular selection of characters and story was to express the inevitable sorrow and uncertainty associated with oneself, relationships and existence. The novel 's interpretation of masculinity in the context of adolescence and adulthood is an integral aspect of the male identity in modern society. The transposition of Tsukuru’s identity and masculinity in various stages of his life allowed specifically male readers to question their own definition of masculinity and identity in context with various stages of life.…
