This paper will explore a few of these characters, including Ivan Denisovich Shukhov, Alyosha the Baptist, Fetiukov the scrounger, Captain Buinovsku, and…

“So, how are you handling everything?” Mom questioned, “You know, with the move and all? You seem to spend a lot more time in your room.” “Mom! I’m Okay, you don’t have to worry about me. Nothing held me down to Oregon anyway. I’m just getting used to the, uh, new situation. I’m happy. Really.” I explained. “OK, whatever you say. I just want you to know you can tell me anything. You know that right?” “Yep! Thanks.” Things have been different since we moved to Greenland. The cold,…
