Thousand Character Classic

For the past week or so I have been reading Last Year’s Mistake by Gina Ciocca, The DUFF by Kody Keplinger and finishing The Moment Of Letting Go J.A. Redmerski.

Before Kelsey moves away David confesses his true feelings for her, which only makes Kelsey angry. Kelsey is upset at David for not telling her before for in her eyes it is too late. The novel The…

lives a life others notice and can model their own lives after. When thinking about a person like this, I immediately considered Alice Blackwell, the main character of Curtis Sittenfeld 's novel, “American Wife.” Over the summer I read this book multiple times and I realized the tale was so grabbing because of how much I admire Alice’s character. Alice is loosely based on the life of the former First Lady, Laura Bush. However, the novel is fiction and many circumstances and events are based…

mechanics, thus fundamentally changing the adaptation. Parasite Eve shows this alteration by taking what was a very slow paced and detailed story in the book and changing it to a fast paced action one for the game. The book centered around a few main characters, chief being Doctor of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Toshiaki Nagashima. His methodical way of explaining medical details made the book seem more like a medical journal at times than a sci-fi horror. Instead of the game focusing on these…

repetitive cycle they’re in. “I Am a Mad Dog Biting Myself for Sympathy” looks into the way an individual views their own choices, specifically how their state of mind results in their view of free will. Erdrich and Faulkner each use setting and character in order to demonstrate that individuals in society can use free will to change their lives instead of remaining passive and continuing their life in…

of Captain Wentworth, who is writing at the table – about the nature of the character of men and women, and for which sex is love more transient (Austen 262-266). It is through overhearing this conversation that Captain Wentworth learns of Anne’s true character and reveals his own feelings to her, via a letter (Austen 267-268). Upon deconstruction, one sees that this entire scene is very much influenced by the characters of the individuals involved. Anne observes that Captain Harville “looked at…

When we as the reader read stories we wonder what the setting is like in the story. We want to know the location is like and also want to know what type of weather the main character has to deal with throughout the story. Also with the setting comes the time period that the story takes place. We notice in stories that the time period can really mean a lot in stories. This semester we have read a few stories where the setting was a main factor in the story. A story that I read so far where the…

behavior that has damaged her emotionally and mentally. Throughout the story, readers are exposed to what is beneath Blake’s facade of superiority. Through the story’s setting, disposition of characters, and characters’ actions, The Five Forty Eight reveals the protagonist Blake’s misanthropical, egocentric character. Readers get a glimpse of the protagonist’s egocentrism through his and Miss Dent’s actions. “He urged her to; that was, after all, what he had come for. … When he put on…

SPIRITED MISADVDENTURES is a character driven story of self-discovery and healing. The story’s tone is dramatic, but nicely blended with wit and humor. The script explores solid themes about grieving, communication, reconnecting, and healing. It’s an introspective story told with subtext. One of the strengths of this script is the character of Dani. She’s well crafted as a very complex woman. She presents with a very tough exterior that’s abrasive. In fact, initially it’s challenging to like or…
