Adelina Amouteru Character Analysis
The main character Adelina Amouteru and I are similar in several ways. Our appearances are not the same however, because half her face is ruined and her left eye is missing from a plague. She also has darker skin, whereas I am as pale as a ghost. She also has silverish whitish hair, and I have brown mixed with other random colors. She would be considered the black sheep of her family, and I am of mine as well. Although in her case, hers is much worse than mine because my family didn’t try to sell or kill me. Mine just thinks I’m strange. She also feeds off of anger and fear, which as strange as it sounds, I can relate to that as well. I can deal with angry or scared people better than I can with sad people. It makes no sense and is kind of

    Lena Lingard intrigues me. She’s gentle even though she’s lived on the farm her entire life and she manages to make the littlest things exciting with her charisma. In ways, her adventurousness and excitement make her similar to Tony. However, they differ in that Ántonia possesses a quiet beauty and inner strength that contrasts with Lena’s liveliness. It’s strange-- I dream the same dream “a great many times, and it [is] always the same. I [am] in a harvest-field full of shocks, and I [am] lying against one of them. Lena Lingard [comes] across the stubble barefoot, in a short skirt, with a curved reaping-hook in her hand, and she [is] flushed like the dawn, with a kind of luminous rosiness all about her. She [sits] down beside me, [turns] to me with a soft sigh and said, ‘Now they are all gone, and I can kiss you as much as I like.’ I...wish I could have this flattering dream about Ántonia, but I never [do].” (109) I love Ántonia and her steady independence but I cannot see her in my dreams in…

    Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn once said that “the battle line between good and evil runs through the heart of every man.” East of Eden is a novel written by twentieth century author John Steinbeck. The Viking Press published it in 1952. The narration takes place from 1862 to 1918, mostly in the Salinas Valley, although some episodes happen in Massachusetts and Connecticut. John Steinbeck's East of Eden depicts humanity's struggle between virtue and in as a perpetual narrative of human history.

    To say that there is no good in evil is to deny the very reality of evil’s existence. Black and white thinking such as the topic previously stated is what truly can hurt us the most. When you look at moral issues you must acknowledge that it is a grey spectrum, with many different viewpoints. If I told any person who has actually read East of Eden that I admired Cathy? They would think me insane and possibly give me some nasty looks, as well as cross the street when I walk past. But since you have to read this essay, I think it’s fair that I make my point. Cathy is a real go-getter, she does what she has to to make ends meet. She isn’t easily swayed, and has a strong moral foundation, whether or not it’s a good one is a moot point. Lastly, she’s not easily discouraged. Even in the face of direct adversity, she brushes herself off and keeps on trucking.…

    Both Mia, the protagonist in “If I Stay”, by Gayle Forman, and myself are similar in many ways. I think if we had the chance we’d both end up being very great friends and we’d get along perfectly. The one thing that stands out the most for both of us is our amazing, quiet, shy personalities. And also our talents, though they’re both different, we are both the very best at our talents. Our talents are also within the same category, the fine and performing arts field. Mia, the protagonist of “If I Stay” by Gayle Forman and I are alike in many ways. We both share the same views of the world, are viewed by the world in similar ways and I would respond in a comparable way to the central conflict of the novel. Therefore, I believe given the chance, we could be friends.…

    Although most of your characters were believable in your powerful tale of revenge, The Cask of Amontillado, I found your narrator, Montresor to be quite unreliable. Could it be that you did not intend for me to sympathize with Montresor for the insult made by Fortunato, but rather to judge him? Frankly, I found him to be smug and egotistical, while questioning his sanity. He did not convince me that his intentions were honorable to support his family’s motto: “Nemo me impune lacessit,” or “No one assails me with impunity.”…

    In every story, every character has a purpose, either miniscule or massive. In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley incorporates both main characters and supplemental characters into her text. In her novel, Shelley includes supplementary characters as an example to show how poorly the lower class was treated during the nineteenth-century. Shelley included the character Justine in the novel, a supplemental character, because her story reveals how society at the time viewed the lower class, as Justine was a servant to the Frankenstein family at the time of William Frankenstein’s murder.…
