Chipper Maxton Character Analysis
I am only 41 pages into the book at the moment and I haven't seen very many characters yet, but the ones that have been introduced are very... special. One such character is named Chipper Maxton. He is a very self-centered, greedy, and lustful man that only took over ownership of his father's nursing home so that he could scam the residents and their families by skimming funds out of the payment that were meant for supplies and management for himself. He is having an affair with his secretary. Chipper only does things that would benefit him, and this is clearly shown if not through his dialogue then through the way the narrator describes him. The narrator also has an interesting way of narrating. They talk as if we are flying like ghosts and

    Troy Maxon represents a modern tragic character very well due this is fatal flaw, and downfall by the end of the play. Though he may not meet the requirement of being a character of nobility or of high class, all the other parts of the definition of a tragic character fit him very well. We see throughout the play that his authoritarianist behavior causes him to treat his family in a way that distances him from them. By the end of the story the tragedy ends with Troy dead, and without his family.…

    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. Cathy Ames, the most controversial character in the novel, seems to be the only person of the book incapable of good: she has the characteristics of a born moral monster. She is not. The events that took place in her childhood affected Cathy. We will then see…

    The characters and their evolution are presented in an extremely engaging manner. Owen Meany, early on is presented as being extremely frail, barely able to survive, and surprisingly evolves to be tough and courageous. Through the third person narration of John Wheelwright, you learn as much as need to know about Tabby Wheelwright, Dan Needham, Harriet Wheelwright, Lewis Merrill, Aunt Martha and Noah and Simon and Hester, Head-Master White and many other characters. He gradually introduces his characters with humorous and engaging descriptions. Irving always writes so naturally that it seems effortless.…

    However, the way that Brooks writes the story, the characters have all different kinds of lives that cleverly merge together towards the novel’s conclusion. The story begins with the introduction of Brad Miller, an eighty-year-old widow, that lives in a California retirement community all alone. Within the first few chapters of the novel the reader begins to see just how much the world has changed by the year 2030. Cancer has been cured since the year 2015, and technological innovations are allowing people to live longer than ever before. Later on in the story, we learn of the angry youth (Youth for Equality, Enough is Enough), the president (Bernstein), the curer (Sam Mueller), the Chinese visionaries (Shen Li), and the AARP. One element that makes this story structured particularly well is the way that these characters are introduced. It creates a sense of suspense for the reader, as they wonder how all of these characters are connected. Since the chapters are pretty short, shortly after you get introduced to one character you are introduced to another. By doing this, Brooks keeps the reader engaged, having them focus on the previous character and the current character, all the while curious as to how each is significant…

    John Green has this given ability to squeeze every detail about a character into this novel. This allows the reader to be able to create a deep connection with a character based on the descriptive background, appearance and traits that the author clearly depicts. Imaging a character how an author describes really allows one to open their mind to the world of the character and their lives. However, John Green uses situational irony again to assist in the character’s development by giving the reader an explanation of the character, but later on the reader discovers a completely hidden side to the character. This is especially evident in Margo Spigelman because one may believe she is beautiful, happy, and poor when in reality she experiences an unhappy and rich lifestyle. This is shown when Margo leaves town and leaves behind those mysterious clues for those who truly understand her…

    1.) The character in this book that I would like to discuss is the main character, Cadence Sinclair. In my opinion, she was the most interesting and complex character. In the beginning of the book the reader finds out that Cadence suffered a brain injury causing her to have amnesia. Because of this, she can't remember what really happened. One thing that really interested me about Cadence was how she would give something away of her’s every day that she didn’t need. She explains how none of these items that show her family’s fortune have any use to her. She gives away things like pillows, photos, clothes, etc. This interested me because I thought maybe Cadence didn’t like living with all the money her family had.…

    In the beginning of the novel, Cass shows America missing her family because of the letter that her sister, May, sent from home. Cass proves this in the book, “I should’ve been there, I wasn’t though. I was here.” (Cass 5). This illustrates America sacrificing time with her family for her future of being with Maxon. This is a hard sacrifice because America wants to be there for her family and their difficult times. This would be better for the future she wants because she’d get to stay with Maxon. To conclude, America made a hard sacrifice of staying at the palace for the future she wants with Maxon.…

    There are two main characters in this short story. They are Mrs. Croft and the Narrator. The character I like the most is Mrs. Croft. She resembles a round character that shows many different traits. She is a choosy person as she said that she will only rent rooms to boys from Harvard or Tech to the Narrator as he called her for a room (page 2). We know that she likes to give orders when she forced the Narrator to repeat the word Splendid each time she told the story about the American flag on the moon (page 3). Besides that, she was also senile because she had once wandered half naked to the tram depot (page 9). In the other hand, she also presents good traits. Mrs. Croft had a very high national spirit and likes someone who is a gentleman. These values are proven in page 4 and 7 when she was proud saying “There is an American flag on the moon!” and when her daughter said “Some of the boys run screaming. But I think she likes you. You’re the first boarder she’s ever referred to as a gentleman”. She had a mysterious life as the writer did not tell us what she had being doing for the 103 years besides playing the piano (page 9). These qualities really did show the nature of an ordinary human being.…
