  • Elroy Berdahl Character Analysis

    300 Words  | 2 Pages

    During his decision making process of whether to go to war or not, O’Brien meets the character of Elroy Berdahl, who makes numerous attempts to help O’Brien get across to Canada. However, O’Brien constantly refuses his guidance and insists that he can make a decision for himself. Although “the man knew” (54) that he was a draft dodger and insisted on helping O’Brien, giving him “an envelope tacked to [his] door … with four fifties and a two-word note that said emergency fund” (54), O’Brien was hesitant to accept his donations. This bibliomancy, a sentence that makes reference to the Bible, displays Elroy as a god-like figure who is ready to help O’Brien and guide him to the right path. Although what he needs for the future he wants in his hands

    A new patient by the name of Randle McMurphy was committed and something definitely is not right with him. He came in acting like he owned the place. A big part of me thinks he is not even supposed to be here. He seems like a guy who just wondered in off the streets. He is stressing all of us patients out and I cannot say anything because people think I am deaf.

  • Owen Meany Character Analysis

    In the book A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving, my favorite character is Owen Meany. I admire the way he cares about his friends and is willing to do anything for them. He is concerned about John coming to Vietnam, so he cuts off his finger in order to prevent him from going into the war. This would be a very hard thing to do, but he cares a lot about John and wants to protect him. Another thing I enjoy is Owen’s jokes and humor.

  • The Help Minny Jackson Character Analysis

    1003 Words  | 5 Pages

    Minny Jackson’s distinctive role in “The Help” The novel “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett deals with the living circumstances in Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960s, and focuses on the lives of two housemaids, Minny Jackson and Aibileen Clark, as well as Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan, a young white college graduate, whose aim it is to write a book about the circumstances and the experiences of the “Help” in white families. The three characters take turns narrating the events happening in the novel, and occasionally bring in inner monologues in the form of their own thoughts and memories. One of them, Minny Jackson stands out from the rest of the characters, because of the language she employs. She utilizes Vernacular American English, like the other housemaids, but her use of the language varies and has a certain impact.

  • Jacob Blivens Character Analysis

    783 Words  | 4 Pages

    American humorist Mark Twain is well known for his novels such as Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Twain also wrote many short stories, such as “The Story of a Good Little Boy,” which describes the short life of Jacob Blivens, who strives to do what is right no matter how many times it backfires. Jacob Blivens is driven by his desire to be “put in a Sunday school book (Twain 329)” and is characterized by his determination, incompetence, and selfishness. This story, though wrapped in a guise of irony and humor, is deeply pessimistic. In Mark Twain’s “The Story of a Good Little Boy”, it is the protagonist’s nature, rather than his virtue, that leads to his demise, suggesting that morality does not always guarantee reward.

    “It is still important to be truthful and loyal, to do the best you can, to make the most of your talents, to be happy with simple things in life, and to believe deep down that you will ultimately triumph if you try hard enough to prove your work.” (Adeline Yen Mah xii) Both Adeline and Mulan wanted to make their parents proud, but they had to battle and overcome obstacles in order to triumph. Adeline’s primary goal was to have success and to make her parents proud, but first she had to fight in some “wars”. Adeline and Mulan are very similar because they both had to have courage and perseverance in order to succeed, they both never gave up or stopped trying during the “wars”, and they both were trying to succeed for their families.

    Papathanasiou et al. (2014, p. 407) outline authentic leadership as the ability to influence the actions and behaviour of individuals to work together to achieve their goals. Additionally, Goffee and Jones (2005, p. 87) describe authentic leadership as a real thing, an attribute that uniquely defines great leaders. Furthermore, they highlight that authentic leaders are highly attuned to their environment and that whilst they retain their distinctiveness they understand how to strongly influence and win acceptance in strong cultures and how to utilise those cultures as a basis for radical change. President Kennedy also displayed attributes of an effective transformational leader in a time of crisis and sought to inspire and encourage the population to develop and achieve their greatest potential.
