Lizzy Barns: A Character Analysis
Lizzy Barns was thinking about Jonas Vanstrom again. Jonas was an understanding hero with scrawny stomachs and tall tongues.
Lizzy walked over to the window and reflected on her beautiful surroundings. She had always loved awe-inspiring Grand Tetons with its motionless, mashed mountains. It was a place that encouraged her tendency to feel ecstatic.
Then she saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the an understanding figure of Jonas Vanstrom.
Lizzy gulped. She glanced at her own reflection. She was a witty, lovable, iced tea drinker with red-headed stomachs and smiley tongues. Her friends saw her as a freshly-squeezed, fair friend. Once, she had even brought an oily kitten back from the brink of death.
But not even a witty person who had once brought an oily kitten back from the brink of death, was prepared for what Jonas had in store today.
The rain and sun teased like hugging baboons, making Lizzy sleepy. Lizzy grabbed a hopeful guillotine that had been strewn nearby;

Jonas gazed with the affection of 4191 hopeful heavy horses. He said, in hushed tones, "I love you and I want a kiss."
Lizzy looked back, even more sleepy and still fingering the hopeful guillotine. "Jonas, you are adorable," she replied.
They looked at each other with surprised feelings, like two great, grieving guppies gyrating at a very smart date, which had blues music playing in the background and two patient uncles laughing to the beat.
Suddenly, Jonas lunged forward and tried to punch Lizzy in the face. Quickly, Lizzy grabbed the hopeful guillotine and brought it down on Jonas's skull.
Jonas's scrawny stomachs trembled and his tall tongues wobbled. He looked in love, his emotions raw like a pickled, panicky piano.
Then he let out an agonising groan and collapsed onto the ground. Moments later Jonas Vanstrom was dead.
Lizzy Barns went back inside and made herself a nice drink of iced

    Having the will to survive is the physiological force to fight, either mentally or physically, for one’s survival. Ellen shows this skill throughout the novel by dealing with child abuse. One example of this is her ability to cope with her father who is a self-destructive alcoholic. In the novel, Ellen is left to live alone with her father after her mother sadly passed away. This makes her life a lot worse because when her father is drunk he expects her to take her mother’s place. For example, one night when Ellen was at home her father tries to grab her and actually calls her by her mother's name, “Get away from me...That is not me. Oh no that was her name. Do not say her name to me. That was her name. I am Ellen” (Gibbons 45). This scene…

    Leading a multitude of people to find the "truth" about a village's most respected townspeople is Abigail Williams. She was the finger that accused dozens of people, who in all likelihood were innocent of the crimes brought against them. Abigail was not the single candle that showed the judges of Salem the way but merely the candle that lit the others. Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" makes Abigail the conveyance of everything the Puritans would have thought as evil. She had committed sins that made any upright citizen flinch at the mere mention of them. All this appalling information about Abigail makes a person stop and wonder what her motive was. Was she merely being selfish or is there a deeper meaning hidden beneath all the layers she is covering her past with?…
