Frank Letter To Strauss

If one were to design a sympathetic character, would he be attractive, or would he be old and grumble often? Frank Abagnale from Catch Me If You Can and Walter Mitty from “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” only one possesses nearly all of the traits of a sympathetic character. Theres many characteristics that constitute a sympathetic character, though in this specific circumstance the largest differentiating factors have to be, the contrast between the intelligence, activeness, and of course altruism, or lack thereof. Unlike Walter, frank falls into most, if not all of the criteria that create a sympathetic character. To begin Walter hasn’t demonstrated the slightest bit of intelligence whatsoever, however there’s Frank, who proves his intelligence on many occasions.

For the topic of my essay I have chosen to write about a fictional character I encountered whose inspirational quote has had a significant impact on me. The characters name is Richter Abend and his quote is “Courage is the magic that turns dreams into reality”. Richter Abend was ridiculed and persecuted all his life for his race. He was so afraid he circumvented and ignored the bullies but then he learned nothing would ever change if he stayed that way. This was similar to how I felt in middle school when I was bullied.

The irony in Room 101 lies in the fact that the Party wants everyone to conform to society. They want everyone to worship Big Brother, hate Emmanuel Goldstein, believe in doublethink, and eventually they want everyone to only speak in Newspeak. Newspeak limits the ideas you can express and therefore limits the thoughts you can have. This essentially gives the Party mind control and perfect submissive citizens with no individuality. But, in Room 101 it uses your own individual fears against you.

Jesse James was a very horrible man that a lot of people looked up to for some reason. He was into a lot of criminal activity that got him into some trouble. Not with just the law but with other people as well, so he always had to keep a lookout for people that looked suspicious. But one day he didn't keep a good enough eye out and it got him in trouble. So here are the events that lead up to Jesse James criminal career and eventually his death.

Through lack of motivation in caring for his life, Frank Gallagher is the epitome of a Phlegm character. As an alcoholic, Frank is extremely careless about his life and his families lives. Throughout his entire life he has never been employed and has sat around and collected disability checks. With the little money that the Gallaghers have, Frank's eldest daughter Fiona tries to financially make ends meet in order to compensate for Frank’s unemployment. Fiona takes on two jobs and even asks the younger kids for money to pay bills, while Frank selfishly steals their money to spend it on his alcoholic lifestyle.

According to Bear Grylls, “Being brave isn’t the absence of fear. Being brave is having that fear but finding a way through it.” Many situations that happen in our everyday lives focus on triumph over adversity. This quote explains that when one triumphs over adversity, the adversity isn’t absent from his life, but he must triumph over it and find a way through the situation that is affecting him. Historical events have followed this theme of triumph over adversity, including the infamous Holocaust.

Skating into a lifetime of suffering The idea of a love so deep and fulfilling that you would sacrifice a lifetime of happiness, just for their life, is an astounding thought. Uncle Nathan is willing to give up everything, for someone he knows he will never be able to be with, in the subconscious hopes that a miracle will happen and she will change her ways to be with him. This story reveals who Uncle Nathan is by showing how inconsiderate, serious, and dedicated he is, despite all he does for Delia's love. Uncle Nathan is very inconsiderate and does not think of the long term effect of his actions.

Diary of Anne Frank: Faith “Faith is seeing light with your heart when all your eyes see is darkness.” This quote, by Barbara Johnson, illuminates faith’s capabilities to help people see the best in their situation. Examples of these and other positive effects of faith are pervasive throughout the text of Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett’s play, The Diary of Anne Frank. In this play, two Jewish families- the Franks and the Van Daans- along with a Jewish man, Dussel, are forced to hide in a small attic for two years to avoid being captured during the Holocaust. They are unable to breathe fresh air or take a step outside for this entire time.

A Christmas Carols?: A Comparative Analysis Behind all of the spirits, money, and “Humbugs”, the reworkings of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol take many unique liberties in the specifics of the piece, particularly in their choice of setting, their visualization of thematic elements, and in their characterization of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge and those who help him (or her) to see the proverbial light. Analyzing both the diversities and correlations between Vanessa Williams’ A Diva’s Christmas Carol (as directed by Richard Shenkman) and Bill Murray’s Scrooged (as directed by Richard Donner), it is apparent how their particular approaches to Dickens’ original novella service them and set them apart from their more classic counterparts

The short stories “Where Have You Gone, Charming Billy?” by Tim O’Brien and “The Storyteller” by Saki, display irony throughout the read, that expose the characters to develop realization. Paul Berlin, in the beginning of “Where Have You Gone, Charming Billy?” has fear of war, and states to us, readers, “Once they reached the sea, thing would be better… and they would be safe” (O’Brien 213). Irony then comes into play and contradicts Berlin’s beliefs of the sea causing the author, Tim O’Brien, to write, “But even when he smelled salt and heard the sea, he could not stop being afraid” (216). Irony grows to be the source of Paul’s realization that the sea will not keep him safe. Likewise to irony establishing character realization in “Where Have

The short story “A Loaf of Bread” had many themes depending on how the reader interpreted it. Some themes consisted of racism, capitalism, equality, having too much pride, and sacrificing things for the people you love. The overall theme I would come to in this story is putting yourself in others shoes before judging them. One of the main characters, Harold Green, was a grocery store owner who owned three different grocery stores in three different neighborhood. The story focuses on the grocery store he owned in a predominantly African American neighborhood.
