The character that I chose was Bella Swan from Twilight. Bella fit in several of the big five trait clusters. The traits that fit Bella’s personality are neuroticism, openness to experience, and extroversion. Bella is a difficult for others that are around her to figure out. Bella Swan scores on the higher end of neuroticism. Bella possesses many of the signs on the high end of the spectrum which are moodiness, hostility, and nervousness. Throughout the movie Bella has a hard time adapting her social responses to make them appropriate for the situation. This is usually typical for people with an N type personality. Bella is very moody with her father about trying to make friends, which could also have to do with part of her being a teenager. When Bella first starts her junior year at Forks High School, she is nervous and not very friendly with others. Next Bella scores high on the openness to new experiences. Bella is intrigued by the Cullen family, five teenagers that are adopted by Carlisle Cullen. This family is mysterious to her and she wants to find out more about them. On one of her first experiences with Edward Cullen had saved her life by throwing her out of the way from a truck that was about to hit her. Bell was curious as to why or how he was able to do this. Bella is imaginative and tends to hold onto unconventional beliefs, Bella is aware of her feelings that she develops for Edward and this allows for her to make friends with others so that she can find more information about the Cullen family. The last of the trait characteristics that describes Bella is extroversion. Bella scores on the low end of this scale. Bella is not an outgoing individual. Bella only associates herself with just a few friends that she made when first starting Forks High School. In one scene of the film Bella goes to the beach with some of her friends. After Bella and Edward begin their new romance with one another, she only associates herself

    Krakauer wrote that Chris McCandless was, "green, and he overestimated his resilience, but was sufficiently skilled to last for sixteen weeks on a little more than his wits and ten pounds of rice"(Krakauer 182). In this quote it seems that Krakauer thought that McCandless was well equipped with his skills, so that made moderately prepared to survive in any situation. I feel that McCandless was rather prepared, yet again he never could have been fully prepared for the unexpected. My opinion is that McCandless was vaguely aware of the struggles that he would encounter in the Alaskan wilderness such as his epiphany that "happiness is only real when shared" was realized when his body was dying of starvation. I believed that he found what he was…

    I genuinely did not expect to learn this much from the book Unbroken. The story of Louie Zamperini was unexpectedly much more understandable and relatable than I first imagined. Seeing the main character was a former war hero, I found it surprising I was able to connect to him as I happen to be fourteen. In my opinion, readers can easily compare similar situations in their life, regardless of their age. A point often overlooked, Louie is a true survivor. He was stranded forty-seven days on a crammed raft, as well as beaten without remorse at a prison camp for two years. Louie was stripped of his friends as he watched them either be transferred or slowly die. He witnessed many accounts of sexual abuse to innocent and helpless animals, as well…

    Feeling sorry for someone, but not agreeing with them. As humans we have all felt this feeling at least once in our lifetime. In the book The Awakening, by “Kate Chopin” Kate Chopin sympathizes with the main character Edna but doesn’t pity her. I agree with Kate, because even though she’s married with Leonce a man that she doesn't love and has children with him, she is still free not attached to him at all. Another reason I agree with Kate is that she doesn’t pity Edna. She spends time and loves Robert rather than loving her own husband.…

    A stranger can be anyone they want to be. It is a human’s job to find a mutual connection or walk away from that stranger. Melanie Smooter changed her personality’s real quick when she ran off to New York. The first level consists of the big five traits to assist with connecting the dots (McAdams, 1995). Openness is where a human is creative and imaginative. Melanie was creative in creating the new fashion trends, hello she was popular enough to date the mayor’s son. Extraversion is classified as being a talkative or outgoing human. Melanie had low extraversion when she was antisocial toward her family, not even a postcard. Neuroticism may be a disadvantage because moods can fluctuate and anxiety disorders are common.
