I’m just plain tired of them, and I’m tired of having to act like I should apologize for it!” (208) That rant showed how he has a lot of aggression towards those people, and that he can’t seem to look passed their race. If Kevin weren’t racist, it would have a very positive affect on his life. He would be able to cooperate better with people of different races, as well as becoming a more peaceful person overall. That being said, in terms of the story, it wouldn’t have such a great affect. Without Kevin being racist, the authors would definitely need to find another character with this trait, as it is very important to the

He will always remember how much he once loved Miss Kinnian so much and now he can’t even talk to her right without having her cry. He might always want to have that feeling of being smart, but he will never get the chance. Charlie will always be remembered for being dumb, foolish, and the first human to fail to triple his IQ, not for the sweet, kind, nice young man that he really was. Charlie was a young man with a lot of desire to read; unfortunately that great desire led him to a horrible experience. He actually risked his life and tried to triple his IQ, by going through a surgery.
Also that means to exciting places and they were back on their way to home in this part of the story. Henry’s experience in Vietnam was just “the change was no good” this is what his brother said about him. Henry was acted different. He was just jumpy and mean. “He’d always had a joke, then, too, and now you couldn’t get him to laugh, or when he did it was more the sound of a man choking”.
Grant tells Jefferson that he is more of a man that he could ever be, and that we all need him. In Jefferson diary he admits his thoughts. He talks about how it is difficult for him to sleep at night, because all he dreams about is going through the door of his execution.

An invisible-like character such as Boo Radley is commonly accost to gossip and rumors whispered about him, children are told gruesome, bone rattling stories by one another and frightened by the thought of a man whom they realistically know nothing about.The true malfeasance of this is that he has always prolonged exception and trust. Without the Finch children ever knowing, or understanding, Boo Radley had secretly given them small gifts, and kept watchful eyes on them, eventually leading to him finally gaining those affections he’s always wanted. For example, in the first few pages of To Kill a Mockingbird, Jem is exaggeratedly describing to his younger sister Scout, and good friend Dill, a faint memory of what Boo was like “‘... judging from his tracks; he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch, that’s why his hands were blood stained… There was a long jagged scar that ran across his face;what teeth he had were yellow and rotten; his eyes popped, and he
In the short story “the toughest Indian in the world” by Sherman Alexei, Roman Gabriel fury seems that he has been through a lot, from losing his mother and father, being poor and being discriminated against cause of his ethnicity. But that doesn’t seem to get in his way to getting a better future, he did what he had to do to be able to take his little test and get a better education, and he did it all with pride and power. As a Native American roman seems to get a lot of unwanted attention in all the wrong ways. Mr. Williams seems to be more interested in the fact that roman is a Native American and his test taking skills rather than focusing on the fact that he got an almost perfect score on the little test even when
