The movie ‘Fences’ has three main characters: Troy Maxson, Cory Maxson, and Rose Maxson. However, I believe characters such as Lyons Maxson, Jim Bono, and Gabriel Maxson play extremely important roles in the movie also. Therefore, I will speak on all six.
Winter sucks for unfortunate four eyed people like me. Ugly emotions disappearing over the glorious summer only to return the second Melbourne was hit with a cold breeze. Dread, frustration, hatred, embarrassment.
The main plot line of Carry the Rock revolves around Little Rock Central High’s football team in the 2007 season. Coached by Bernie Cox, the team is undoubtedly having some unusual difficulties in many areas; nevertheless, I predict that they will not only make it to state, but also at the very least the semifinals. Conversely, there are many events in the story that contradict my opinion. For example, Cox and the rest of the coaching staff note that this team is somewhat divided. Cox recalls that in 2004, the football team’s best season since the turn of the century, all of the players were really good friends; they went to each other’s houses on the weekends and regularly talked and joked around in practice. Unfortunately, the current team

Chris McCandless was just a normal college graduate just like any other person but then he decided to go into the wild and go travel to all different areas before he went to Alaska. Chris decided to go to Alaska because in his head that’s where he thought there would be no one from society telling him what to do. He thought he wouldn’t have to follow the rules of society or people telling him what to do. He reached Alaska, but the reality of Alaska was different that the romanticized expectation that he had in his mind. He didn’t bring enough food for himself and all he relied on was eating plants and berries from the wild. Also, all he relied on was a book about plants and berries to tell him what plants to pick out. But unfortunately he misidentified the wild potato seed as wild sweet pea, and he ate the inedible wild sweet pea instead of the edible wild potato. Unfortunately, the misidentified seeds caused
In Chapter Five of the novel, Janie describes Joe’s impact on the people of the town of Eatonville and his unique dominance qualities: “There was something about Joe Starks that cowed the town. It was not because of physical fear. He was no fist fighter. His bulk was not even imposing as men go. Neither was it because he was more literate than the rest. Something else made men give way before him. He had a bow-down command in his face, and every step he took made the thing more tangible” (47). Joe Starks is the husband of Janie and the proud mayor of Eatonville, the first self-governing all-black town. Starks is a control freak and incredibly stubborn when it comes to considering other opinions against his own.

The book’s evolving opinion about hockey might be interpreted as a tool for the public to read and perhaps comprehend the negative reality that occurs in and outside of the story. Cody’s outlooks on hockey develop from positive, to negative, and then, again, to positive. At first, Cody loves hockey; it makes him happy, dedicated, hardworking and is a positive outlet leading him to a bright future. When Cody begins playing for Coach Connors’ team, the abuse begins and his love for hockey is replaced with alcohol abuse, suicidal thoughts, and misery. His positive view of hockey come to be negative because of the effects of Connors’ abuse that he, in the words of Theo Fleury, young hockey player abused by Graham James, “did not have the emotional skills, the knowledge, or the ability to stop [it].” (Globe and Mail) Once Cody comes forward about the abuse and the public’s interest has lessened, he realizes that hockey was not the source of his pain, Connors was, and now that Connors was gone, he could go back to loving hockey the way he always did, without abuse, alcohol and misery clouding his judgment. In Power Play, as hockey is Cody’s whole life, it is his greatest strength as well as his greatest weakness which is why hockey culture is illustrated by both positive and negative
Libby Peppers, born on August 31, 1988 in Virginia Beach, VA, to Kathy and Jerome Peppers, loves life to the fullest. She is the second oldest of four children, three girls and one boy. Her siblings include Darcy, Jenna and JJ (Jerome Jr.); all two years apart. Although, Libby’s parents use to be free spirits in their youth, they have promise to raise their children in a strict, uptight, and Godly home. Her parents strongly believe that this strict environment is the best way to protect them from outside influences and peer pressure of today's society. Kathy and Jerome actually set the children up for failure because the children are socially unequipped for society. Music and horseback riding are the only activities, but Libby is the only child to excel at both. She even saved all of her allowances to buy a custom guitar and her only best friend Runner (the horse).
In the story, “The Story of An Hour”, the main character is Louise Mallard. She is a dynamic character. She internally changed throughout the story. In the beginning of the story, she heard the news of her husband’s death in train accident from her sister Josephine and her husband’s friend, Richard. She was shocked by the news and showed sad feelings in the story. However, when I was reading through the story, I could infer that Mallard had a terrible marriage life with her husband because the story later said that Mallard was happy because she had freedom. In the beginning of the story, she was shocked and sad but later on, she was happy because of in dependence. These evidences prove that she is a dynamic character. Round character in the story definitely would be Louise Mallard because she is fully developed and has a lot of emotions throughout the story. As I mentioned, she had a terrible time during her marriage time because she has no freedom and etc. However, as soon as she heard Brently died in train accident, she was shocked but mostly enjoyed it because she got a freedom and eventually died because of her joy. Because the story reveals a lot of her feelings in terms of freedom, developed and changed; she is a round character.
