Antaeus Character Traits
Through stories such as broden deal’s “Antaeus” all of us people learn about ourselves and others. A study of character provides insight to human behaviour. By examining the qualities of T.J we learn that T.J is intelligent, sensitive and in the book “Antaeus” we also learn about ourselves.

In a perspective, the guy who explains the story also known as the narrator and mostly what T.J. has said makes him appear sensitive in my point of view. For example: when T.J. first suggests to build a garden on the roof of the building, the narrator describes him as serious. “T.J. looked serious(p.47).” That shows that he is sensitive towards this idea building a garden on a roof of a building. T.J’s sensitivity has a strong impact on the group’s mood

Like if he makes something let's say the garden on the roof in the story, he would try his hardest to keep possession of it. If it will be destroyed he(T.J) would because he's strong and holds on a creation pretty hard. This means he's really sensitive and has a really tough personality and knows how to fight what he thinks is right. I think what T.J shows in the story Antaeus is really important because it shows we should stand strong for what we own and not give it up to someone who just destroys it or takes it by force(steal). What I mean is you should stand strong to something you like/love. For example if the government is going to ban a certain thing for no good reason well than it's time to fight. Just like T.J when he fights for his garden trying not to let the owner of the building destroy his garden.
So stay strong to the things you love and never give up if its going to be taken away from you.

With reading this story “ Antaeus” by Borden deal you learn that the main character T.J is a very round character, with lots of traits that show through the story. The ones that most pop out are that T.J is smart, sensitive and determined. In this you learn about how people can be so connected to something that you are not. Not have I only learned about T.J but others and

In this barren landscape, where sand reigns supreme, a diminutive group of people built a lasting civilization that would be recollected for all time.
