Walter White The Breaking Bed
While watching and analyzing the sixth episode of the Breaking Bed, I disagree with Harvrilesky that Walter White is unlikable because I believe that TV shows even make the anti-hero to be likable. The anti-hero characters, in the TV shows and films, have some specific historical backgrounds and show the audience the purpose of these anti-heroic actions, which usually convert the audience's senses of unlikable anti-hero into a of sympathy or respectfulness. The main character Walter White, a chemistry teacher at a high school, is diagnosed with the terminal cancer and going through the chemotherapy and, during his lecture at school, White has to rush to the restroom to throw up because of the side-effects from the therapy. These scenes shows

    With hair as red as the surface of the boiling hot sun, Erin walks into a giant concrete building. She is wearing her favorite outfit; black converse sneakers, black skinny jeans, and a black oversized t-shirt. But she is not emo, she just likes her outfit. Once she enters the school, she stumbles and almost trips while she is cutting through the crowd of mean teenaged kids. As she passes each teen, she listens while their mouths whisper “Oh my God! She must be emo” and “She obliviously cuts herself.” People are not always who they seem.

    Let’s begin a scenario: You wake up in your bed on your fiftieth birthday, next to your wife, who is five months pregnant with a child you didn’t intend to have, while your son (who has cerebral palsy) stirs in his sleep in the other room. You get out of bed and begin your day as you do every day: brush your teeth, shower, exercise, eat breakfast and go to your job as a chemistry teacher at your son’s high school, then go to your second job as a car washer, then head home to a surprise birthday party that your friends and family all attended, along with your catty, vindictive sister-in-law and your obnoxious brother-in-law, who is a DEA agent that brags about all of his crystal meth busts during your day of celebration. You sleep that night, and go about your day the next day as usual, but then you faint, are rushed to a hospital, only to be told by a doctor that you have stage 4 inoperable lung cancer.

Holden is characterized as an innocent, apathetic, naive teen who is seeking knowledge of life and the meaning of becoming an adult. Holden’s struggle with seeing the genuine nature of people is something that acts as a barrier for him throughout the novel.

    The protagonist, Holden Caulfield, in J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher In The Rye, is arguably too much the antihero to appeal to conservative English teachers. Perhaps this is because of his attitude towards schooling; the fact the novel has been banned by numerous schools and colleges for its liberal use of profanity and portrayal of sexuality; or his self-absorbed and depressed like.…

    - In the story, "The Little Hunchback" from The One Thousand and One Nights, the hunchback is indicative of social class and acceptance of abnormality in society. The story does not give specific details to how the hunchback is how he is, but in my own understanding, it is a kind of deformity that was given through birth. Through his appearance, I can comprehend that deformity is accepted in society, just like how the religions are explicitly stated for each main character. This aspect demonstrates an amenable society within this period of time, where people with abnormalities and religious differences receive equal recognition and social relevance. Nevertheless, the alteration of appearance does not define the human…

    Benjamin Button

    • 389 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was a very interesting story and also a decent movie if I might say. I feel like it got all it's key points across with just pure simplicity. You automatically feel a connection not only from the death that occurs but also for the new life that is lived. It also presents some morality issues we all deal with in our lifetime. Everyone goes through some joys, and grievances, just some differently than others. His story unfolds through a diary read by the daughter of his love, Daisy. Throughout life he goes through the same things we do, growing up and eventually growing old. He's a thoughtful observer, discovering life from all different angles. But it is not his life that makes him unique. His love is what makes him special. He spends a lifetime trying to understand how his love for Daisy works and still only gets a few incredible years really just loving her. As their lives tell us, the years of frustration and hardship are all worth it if only for a few moments of happiness. It is a good story of depiction of life, love, and the things we lose. I was certainly not disappointed. This story is probably not for everyone though. It's not your average drama that spoon feeds it's readers emotions. I think this story is also inspiring in a lot of ways. It urges people to live their lives as if it were their last, live it too the fullest. We can all sort of relate to Benjamin, his days are numbers an he doesn't know when it's his time. He sort of had to go out and find his own way, although his dad supported him all she could. I recalled on the movie, it seemed like a kind of love story. But while reading the short story I didn't feel that way.…

    Characters who do the unthinkable usually lack moral and ethic sense. It is very difficult to empathize for someone of that nature because they have only stricken negative feelings in the audience. Because of their lack of right and wrong that makes them do the unthinkable, it is not possible to empathize for the character. The fact that it is unthinkable means that it will come as a shock and the audience will be surprised with the act because they literally couldn’t have thought of the character doing what he/she did. The audience will be disgusted with the character for doing such an act and because of this reason it is not likely to empathize for the character. Doing the unthinkable displays a lack of conscious of the character and creates more undesirable feelings in the audience for the character. An example of this is in the book, The Ender’s Game, where the general, Hyrum Graff, manipulated Ender and his team to kill off an entire alien race. This act is unthinkable because the general manipulated the kids to perform genocide. There is no possible way the audience can empathize with the general because of his horrible and ghastly act.…
