Sometimes characters represent more than the reader may think. F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, The Great Gatsby, tells the story of a wealthy man, Jay Gatsby, and his love for Daisy.

Each member have a chapter exclusively devoted to them. In their sections they each support the reasons that each girl, in their own way, gives an explanation of who they have become and of why they “'turned out' the way they have." After overcoming my early difficulties with the reverse order that the story was written and having to read and reread several paragraphs and sections to figure out that the narrator changed I did find the story to be interesting. I can only imagine how difficult it was for the girls to go through the process of immigration to the United States in such a time of sexual and political
A reader must know the correct characterization of someone in order to fully understand the story. Understanding the point of view and characterization is just as important as understanding the plot.

In a well written piece of literature, characterization is essential to the construction of the plot. All good authors care about characterization, “many literary fiction writers, in fact, consider characterization to be the most important element of their art” (Arp 161).

In the story ‘’So I Ain’t No Good Girl” written by Sharon Flake a good realistic scene is set by the author that connects me when the situation is put into all of the characters actions.
