In the character lens of the story “Who am I Without Him.” Written by Sharon Flake, I felt that the author expressed the character lens to tell young teenagers how other teenagers get affected by things that don’t really matter in life. In this story, Raheem treats her bad and seems like he doesn’t care about her. Raheem, is the boyfriend of the main character. Raheem appears to be having an affair with a red head girl at the bus stop. “His sweet brown lips, pressed against tight on hers.” The characters weakness in this story is her thought, that she thinks she’s ugly. While having a weakness, she has a strength as well. Her strength as said in the story, is her body. “My body is my strength in boys.” The characters way of being is realistic.
