The Marino Character Analysis
How long does it take before the truth is revealed? In the novel, The Marino Mission we meet Alexa who is on a journey to explore. Alexa’s mission is clandestine. It exudes secrecy because she completes her mission in private,uses her dad to get information and helps a dolphin that belongs to the military.
It is true that Alexa misses her friends, but Alexa’s adventure is quite dangerous, she can find herself in a world of trouble. Alexa befriends Jose who wants to help a dolphin whose searching for it’s baby. “It looks like she’s headed straight for the dolphin facility”(Chapman pg 71).They realize they need to help her,but that’s illegal on both parts for her and Jose, and the dolphin facility to capture a underage wildlife dolphin. “Two years ago that made it illegal for anyone to catch a wild dolphin in these waters” (Chapman, pg71). As you can see her adventure is very dangerous and if she is not careful, it may costs her the rest of her freedom.

As previously mentioned, Alexa is helping a dolphin and it’s obvious that her dad is helping her with some of the information, so she could properly perform a DNA test to determine maternity. Because it’s illegal, I don’t think the government would even care if they take the baby dolphin because they didn’t capture the dolphin legally. Alexa’s father faxed papers to describe how to compare the DNA. Alexa may not trust some people but it looks like she trusts her father even though he doesn’t know what she needs the information

    During the sixteenth century, the role of men and women within society were distinctly determined and demonstrated in France. When it came to marriage, men had to remain faithful to his wife, while women also had to remain faithful to her husband. It was the man’s job to take care of his family and wife by being the provider. It was the woman’s job to keep honor to the family by being loyal wives and attentive mothers.

In the novel The Return of Martin Guerre, Natalie Zemon Davis uses characters such as Bertrande and Martin/Arnaud to represent gender and marriage roles that were common during the sixteenth century in rural…

    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.

    Nichols and May’s skills as storytellers lie in their understanding of human relationships, a mastery that is expressed in the sketch through their delivery of character. The improvisational nature of Nichols and May’s dynamic is apparent in the conversational tone of this sketch. Nichols and May play off each other well and develop the relationship between the mother and son in a short amount of time. The dysfunction of this relationship drives the scene by creating conflict, which the characters exploit to the fullest extent. For instance, the mother in the sketch begins the call normally and proceeds to guilt trip her son with hyperbolized ¬¬reactions. May’s delivery emphasizes the nagging, worrisome traits of the character. The exaggeration of her character’s dysfunction is the focus of humor in the skit. However, once the sketch breaks down to reveal the emotional truth of the characters, the growing distance in the relationship between mother and son, a sense of gravitas hits the audience and asks us to consider our the…

    Although most of your characters were believable in your powerful tale of revenge, The Cask of Amontillado, I found your narrator, Montresor to be quite unreliable. Could it be that you did not intend for me to sympathize with Montresor for the insult made by Fortunato, but rather to judge him? Frankly, I found him to be smug and egotistical, while questioning his sanity. He did not convince me that his intentions were honorable to support his family’s motto: “Nemo me impune lacessit,” or “No one assails me with impunity.”…
