Grey's Anatomy Character Analysis
Grey’s Anatomy, a medical drama that has been on air for the past 11 years, is my all-time favorite show. Not only is the plot of the series extremely riveting and tear-jerking, but the characters are all able to relate to an aspect of your life even through your most difficult hardships, especially the protagonist, Meredith Grey. Meredith Grey, is known for her well-roundedness not due to her ability as a surgeon (as she is the head of General Surgery), but because of her willingness to aid others when they’re in times of trouble. This is especially true when it comes to her best friends; Christina Yang, Isabella Stevens, Alex Karev, and George O’Malley; who struggle through deaths, countless failed relationships, and illnesses throughout

    Not everyone in the world has confidence in their body or who they are. If you do not believe in yourself and the things you do, nobody else will. Persisting, and not giving up by improving yourself is the way to gain back your confidence and be stronger than before. Being confident gives you so many things like happiness, freedom from fears, anxiety, and much more. In Jesse Andrew’s novel, Me and Earl and the Dying girl, a lot of the characters go through tough times because they are not confident in themselves. When having poor self esteem in life, it may lead to many tragic moments, just like the main character Greg Gaines.

    Everyone has that one favorite show they absolutely love to watch. They always make sure nothing is schedule in the way of when their show is going to be on during that weekdays.

There are things here and there that are slightly off or aren’t completely accurate, but that’s what occurs with most television shows to maintain interest for obvious reasons. Many aspects make the show a better choice, as opposed to other shows, like Grey’s Anatomy, General Hospital, and Scrubs. An important role to the show, Dr. Gregory House M.D., the main character, adds so much humor and drama that makes the show.…
