Goo Good Character Analysis

Into The Wild by Jon Krakauer is a non-fiction book, based on the real story of Christopher McCandless, who in the April of 1992,set off alone into the Alaskan wild. He had given all his savings to charity, abandoned his car and his possessions. Unlike others, he wanted to live a life of independence, free from materialistic pleasures and filled with nature and it’s beauty. In addition, McCandless shed his legal name early in his journey, adopting the moniker ‘Alexander Supertramp’. He travelled a lot to places such as South Dakota, Salton City before hitchhiking to Alaska. Along his journey, he befriended few people whom he was in contact with till the end. McCandless kept a daily short journal and also clicked pictures which helped Krakauer to better understand his journey. Krakauer interprets McCandless ' intensely ascetic personality as possibly influenced by the writings of Henry David Thoreau and Jack London. He explores the similarities between McCandless ' experiences and motivations, and his own as a young man, recounting in detail Krakauer 's own attempt to climb The Devil’s Thumb in Alaska. Krakauer also narrates the stories of some other young men who vanished into the wilderness, such as Everett Ruess: an artist and wanderer who went missing in the Utah Dessert during 1934, at age 20. In addition,

In the movie GATTACA, the protagonist, Vincent, is a “god child”. This means that he was born through normal means for us, but a way of the past for the society in GATTACA. In GATTACA, the offspring of a couple is genetically edited. This means they can pick and choose the traits they want and the traits they want to remove. Vincent being a god child is not allowed that privilege. He is expected to have poor eyesight and to develop a fatal heart condition. Not only is Vincent born with these burdens, he is also discriminated against, as are all other god children. The quality of your life and where you end up depend heavily on your genetics in the society of GATTACA. However, this flawed supremacy system was proven wrong two notable times in the movie. Vincent, doomed to die an early death at thirty years old, is older than that and completes his training and joins a space program regardless of the challenges his body faced compared to the others. He worked past his physical disadvantages because he had the drive and the desire to get into

Inspector Goole is a mysterious figure. His name calls to mind the word 'ghoul ', which is defined as an evil spirit or phantom ghost, Although he is deeply bothered and concerned by Eva Smith 's suicide and the concept of societies morals. He is ghost-like in the sense that he doesn 't officially exist. The fact that we don 't officially know who or what the inspector is at the end of the play leaves whether Inspector Goole is real or not open to interpretation of the individual members of the audience. My personal belief he is that of something similar to that of the ghosts of christmas from Charles Dickens’s “A Christmas Carol” who 's purpose is too make a person aware of their morals and force them to confront their wrong doing. There

Celeste Ng, author of the novel Everything I Never Told You, explores the dynamics of a family sodden with racial limitations, burdened with expectations, and plagued with an urge to belong. Ng, throughout the novel, seems to view the concept of being an “other” in society as a negative but necessary aspect of life and that is seemingly reflected with the Lees family.

Rex said, “That was merely a matter of seeing how far you would all go to survive” (Bodeen 171). The Compound by Stephanie Stuve-Bodeen, demonstrates the hardships of conflict between family. In this-award winning novel, Rex’s actions leads to conflict after conflict during the duration of the novel. One event such as this was the time when he cloned new sons and daughters and planned to feed them to the older members of the family when they eventually run out of food. A second event such as this was the time when Eli confronted his father about his deception. Another, such as this was the time when Rex tried to keep the family from escaping the compound towards the end of the novel, by any means necessary, even when the family disagreed with his morals. Rex is a megalomaniac, and his society sees his ethical implications as absurd and immoral.

Danielle Evans writes short stories based mostly on female characters and the dilemmas they face in their fictional lives. Evans describes her characters as having dysfunctional lives; because of the author’s obsession with the abundant directions she may lead her characters including the depth in which the characters emotions can be taken as well (Young).

The book For One More Day shows us many human experiences that we can compare to our lives or people that we may know. Every character in the book has a different backstory and different situations they go through.

I would agree with both characters in certain ways since each captain showed different aspects that made themselves unique. Grant, for example, was a great soldier that only care about the future of the nation. On the other hand, Lee was the image everybody wanted to follow. His personality was higher than Grant’s, and his desire of keeping the old aristocratic mentality was the nation’s example of loyalty. But, they both had the same purpose which is keeping the American nation as one united country.

Wahoo Cray feels like he lives in a zoo. Literally. His dad Mickey is a professional animal wrangler, which means their backyard is crawling with monkeys and alligators and everything in between. The critters are easy to manage compared to Wahoo's dad. When Mickey Cray takes a job as lead wrangler for the hit reality TV show Expedition Survival!, Wahoo knows right away he'll have his hands full, mostly keeping Mickey from strangling the show's egotistical buffoon of a host, Derek Badger. The TV shoot starts with a fight between Derek Badger and the Cray's star alligator, Alice, and then only gets worse when Mr. Badger gets bit on the tongue by a wild bat (don't ask!) and goes missing in a storm. To top it all off, Wahoo has a tag-along

A similar cultural conflict within family is coming about because of “language barriers” which happens in the “Chill with Us” scene when Thao is confronted by a Mexican gang while walking down a street close to his home. Thao’s cousin and his fellow Hmong gang members save him and insist that Thao ride with them as compensation. Thao understands his cousin, in both English and Chinese, however, their cultures are immensely different. Thao does not fully comprehend his cousin’s gang culture, thus, does not comprehend the significance of his words, “Chill with us, man” (Eastwood, 2008). In addition, the value within these words are deeply felt beliefs that are shared by a cultural group that Thao did not understand the full significance

It is Carl Rogers, a psychologist, who came up with the theory that all people were born good, but they were spoiled by the bad people of the world. We all are born with simple traits like love and compassion, but it’s our bring-up that determines who we will become. In The Help, we see two maids and one white woman convey their love and compassion, not just to better their own lives but to improve the lives of others like their bosses and the children they take care of.

It was a bright, hot, summer, afternoon about six years ago. When my whole family including some of my cousins were having a picnic. This was no ordinary picnic, as we were at my grandpa’s field, had out the swimming pool, and the wagon for gator rides around the field, as well as tons of food. You could smell the damp towels, gator gas, and the delicious aroma of food all around.

Character traits are very important parts to any piece of literature. They are important because every character, especially fictional ones, use them to explain how they act and react. Both Ms. Lottie in Marigolds and Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones in the short story Thank You M'am share very similar character traits.
