The next major role in Persepolis would be Marjane’s friends. Marjane’s friends are what helped to give Marjane further insight to how the regime had affected the people that were not fortunate enough to leave the country like she had. This only becomes apparent when Marjane returns to her home country online to find that her friends still were trapped in the old mind set despite their outward appearances. Lastly are Marjane’s parents who encouraged her to think for herself. This was the final ingredient in making Marjane the headstrong person that she appeared to be in the book.
She lives in her mind, barley speaks to anyone. She spends most of her time analyzing all the things around her life. She wants to tell someone how she feels but is scared that she might get rejected or no one will believe her. “I can’t believe you, you’re just jealous.”(184) when she finally tells one of her former friends from the party who is now dating Andy Beast, what happened and the reason for her calling the cops she lashes out and does exactly what she was afraid of. In reading and studying “Speak” By author Laurie Halse Anderson , my character analysis has taught me how Melinda dealt with her problem and what she went through to get her life back…it also taught me to choose my friends carefully and that keeping your anger and pain bottled up can hurt you more than you know.
Her writing revealed creativity, wisdom, and depth of emotion. Anne’s diary had been discovered and published by her father, Otto Frank. While reading his daughter’s diary he discovered a completely different side of Anne and “had no idea of the depths of her thoughts and feelings”. Anne was afraid that the people close to her would discover that she has “another side, a better and finer side”. She feared that they would think she was ridiculous and sentimental and that they no longer take her serious.
Within the occupation of Hitler in Nazi Germany, author Susan Bartoletti recalls, “Though Sophie knew the correct National Socialistic answer to every question, she soon found herself unwilling to give her teachers the answers they wanted but she felt were wrong” (Bartoletti). Soon realizing that the national socialist views conflicted with her own, Sophie did her best to stay committed to her own morals, which overall benefited her mental health by strengthening her resolve. Sophie was also able to healthily cope by confiding her brother, Hans, which aided her in the struggle. The results based on a study done in 2004 in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology showed, “Greater feelings of authenticity were also shown to
She finds daily work challenges and working with driven people to be highly motivating and she sees herself as a “star” at work. Based on her beliefs of what makes a good parent, she is also highly motivated to be a devoted mother at home. The motivators are conflicting and she is feeling pressured, guilty, unhappy and stressed, The MARS model of individual behaviour and performance is a good illustration of Anna’s current difficult situation. Her behaviour and performance is deteriorating as role perceptions and situational factors clash with her motivators. Motivation – Anna much prefers the daily challenges of working on a client site over working on internal office projects.
This quotation explains that throughout Janie’s marriage with Jody, she was controlled, degraded, and mistreated. All of those things symbolize the pressure and how under pressure, she finally she stands up for herself and perseveres. This also shows another element of Modern literature when a character displayed courage, which Janie did when she stood up to Jody. Janie displays more “grace under pressure” when “gradually, she pressed her teeth together and learned to hush” (Hurston 71). Her husband gives her a lot of attitude and problems, but she learns how to cope with the problem.
Not So SuperBad Sweetly absurd, Crude and awkward, Superbad is almost a typical teen movie, reminding me a bit of the American Pie films because of the simple plot and juvenile humour. However, compared to other teen movies the film is much more intelligently written than others of its genre, and this shines through in the characters. Superbad follows three high school seniors as they go on a long night of self-discovery, ending in drunken declarations of love between best friends with unrealistic yet entertaining events happening in between. The over weight Seth, played by Jonah Hill (Knocked Up) is foul-mouthed and impulsive, Evan, his best friend, played by Michael Cera is a more gentle and shy, almost to the point of being invisible,
In the hunger games, Katniss is faced with forced change. This is seen when she volunteers herself over her sister Prim to go and fight to the death with no other choice. Overtime she realizes that she needs to turn and fight back against the game maker and the injustice of the game. Like Josie in ‘Looking for Alibrandi’, Katniss also changes her perspective on herself with the relationship she has with Peeta Mellark. At first she is reluctant to be in a relationship with him because of their pasts.
When she reaches the Scott’s house at the end of the story, she apologizes for her hat because she thinks that it is out of place of where she is. “Excuse my hat,” ( p. 16 ). Her apologetic behavior shows that she is sensitive to others even though they are in a different class. It also shows how she has matured from when she had first tried on her hat and forgot Mr. Scott's tragedy. Another reason many may believe that Laura hasn’t matured is that on her walk to the Scott’s house, she can’t get the party out of
She finds many discoveries at her “new home”. How will these discoveries affect her (in a good or bad way)? The main characters in the film are: Mary Lennox, Colin Craven and Mrs.Medlock : Mary has changed a lot after going to live with her uncle and so has Colin, and with the help of Mary and Colin all dreams come true. As for Mrs.Medlock she is not a very loveable person and she doesn’t seem to like anyone but her personality slowly changes. Kate Maberly played her role as Mary Lennox excellently; you could actually feel her depression or her happiness.
