Ani Mels Character Analysis

484 Words2 Pages

One of my favourite characters in this book is Ani Mells. She is this wild, impulsive girl, who is not afraid to speak her mind. Throughout the book, she gets into situations where, she has to pick from doing the right thing, and getting in trouble, or staying quiet. In which, she always chose to do the right thing. I would love to be Ani’s friend, because she follows her heart, never gives up, and is incredibly brave.
Ani taught me, that you must follow your intuition. When Ani took the Scourge test, Sir Willoughby was talking to the governor about special medicine. Ani knew from that moment that Governor Felling was hiding something. One of her traits that I admire most about her is her trust in herself. Through the story, we follow Ani and her gut feeling to the truth. I would genuinely benefit from having her as a friend, because she would teach me to respect my feelings, and always do what is right.

At the age of twelve, she figures out that the Scourge is a hoax, captures an enemy ship, and exposes Governor Felling, in one week. Not to mention all the challenges she faced along the way, for example: the water mill. When she tells the Colonist that the medicine they are taking is actually poisoning them, the wardens punish her by making her climb the water mill. The steps were slippery, and a simple misstep, could kill her. Does she panic? No, she takes it as a challenge, and bravely does it all day. Ani taught me that occasionally it is healthy to push yourself outside your comfort zone, because that is where the adventure begins. Fear is only going to tear you down, but bravery is going to build you up. So when in a sticky situation, keep calm and be brave like

    Hi Amarilys, I think you did a good job with your thread. I like how you stated what each assumption is, and then, proceeded to explain each one, in detail. I feel as though, it helped to understand each assumption, better. Also, regarding the ways you stay motivated, I, too, like to make lists, to help me stay on track. With so many distractions, it can be hard to remember what needs to be done, but with making a list, you are able to remind yourself of those things.

    “The ways in which the characters in Lorraine Hansberry’s play, A raisin in the sun, are affected by racial imbalances and respond to the injustices engendered by such inequities are solely influenced by their gender.” I agree with this statement to an extent. Although it is correct that gender plays a big role in this play, there are other factors to consider. Context:

    I really loved Uri's character. He's generous, kind, wise beyond his years, in tune with the world around him, and very smart. He teaches, or tries to teach our main character orphan who he later names Misha, about life and how to keep it. His character is almost that of a mentor, or older brother to clean-slate Misha, and I loved that he was stern with Misha when Misha obliviously ran dangerous risks that would endanger both Uri's and Misha's lives. He makes sure that when they have a surplus of food, that other orphans receive it.

    „I desire the company of a man who could sympathize with me; whose eyes would reply to mine. You may deem me romantic, my dear sister, but I bitterly feel the want of a friend” (Shelley 163-164). This is the wish of the scientist Robert Walton whose letters start Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein. Unlike the first thoughts coming to mind when hearing the title, friendship is one of the main topics in the story and the wish Walton expresses in the beginning stands for the desires of all the main characters. Not only Walton feels to be in need of companionship, the central character Victor Frankenstein does so too and even the Creature he brings into being expresses its strong wish to belong to someone.
