Breanne Gray Characterization Paper October 24th, 2013 Period 9 A True Gentleman “He had announced in the schoolyard that day before that Scout Finch’s daddy defended n-words,” Cecil Jacobs (Lee 74). In To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch plays the role of the protagonist who fights through Maycomb’s thick racism. Finch demonstrates a very strong sense of justice and teaches his children the same. No matter what the situation is he maintains his integrity. His character is so sterling in nature that he could have been boring or irritating if Harper Lee had not written him so beautifully and believably.
He can be very polite at times and he also thinks very highly in classical music, which makes him very protective of it. This mainly affects him later in the story. Alex eventually gets questioned about his authority in the gang by his droogies. After this Alex is aware he has to keep them in line, so he beats them up to maintain order. Later that day when he and his gang are robbing a home in the country side, his gang betrays him.
These changes, and more, are due to three main developments of Huck’s character: intelligence, maturity, and moral beliefs. Perhaps less obviously, Huck’s intelligence seems to grow a lot throughout the story. Although, Huck does start out as a pretty intelligent boy, demonstrated in the first few chapters as he sneaks his way out of the house at night, plays pranks on the townspeople, and fakes his own death to escape his father. When Huck finds himself at the Grangerfords’, he cleverly makes up a very intricate and convincing lie about himself. This shows how he is growing in intelligence.
They begin meeting weekly, bringing more and more friends. Soon, there is a club of boys reading their Bibles and having discussions regularly. Teaching the boys that the Bible is The Word of God, their guide in life, Sperry engages them in a scavenger hunt. He illustrates to them how many people are misguided about heaven and eternity because they don’t have the right instructions on how to get there or don’t have directions at all. By example, Jonathan shows the boys what it is to have compassion, how to forgive, and inspires them to share their love for Jesus with others.
Muhammad Ali is my hero because of the standard he set as an athlete, the pride he possesses and allocates, and because of the love he incorporates within his approach to life. Even as a young boy named Cassius Clay, Ali showed signs of impeccable dedication and a willingness to succeed. At age 12, Clay had his bike stolen and he was extremely displeased. He even found a policeman and said he was going to “whoop” whoever had stolen his bike. Whether by chance or by fate, this policeman, Joe Martin, turned out to be a youth boxing trainer and he took young Clay under his wing.

Unlike Greek plays, where main characters were kings and nobles for they were thought to embody the whole community, modern tragedies present an average leader of a family, neither completely good nor completely evil, whose mistake leads to his self-destruction. Joe is a role model to his neighbourhood for he is a hard-working, decent man; it is easy to feel identified with him. We see how significant he is among his neighbours since even children have a sense of respect for him. We see this when little Bert says; “Except some kids from Thirtieth Street. They started kicking a can down the block, and I made them go away because you were sleeping”.
As Zero describes the hard life he has had to his new friend, his amazing willpower and strength of character are revealed. (It is Zero who actually committed the theft for which Stanley was convicted, not because he is dishonest, but because he needed shoes.) The ridicule Zero bears at Camp Green Lake eventually becomes too much and Zero runs away. Stanley can’t leave him alone so he runs after him because he wants to help him survive. While they are on God’s Thumb they help each other and due to their teamwork and their skills they make it to the top and manage to survive.
Then he went on to talk about how to young boys that go to this church had been caught stealing some electronics from the church and how the ministers had been working with these boys to try to teach them the word of the lord. It about shocked me and everyone in the room when he then said that this meant that he was doing his job, because of this he would be able to take these boys and teach them what it means to repent for your sins and how the Lord would forgive you no matter what you had
Louis Braille‘s acts of courage and determination have been an inspiration to future generations and people all over the world.. Blinded at the young age of three, Louis was stabbed in the eye by a awl that was in his fathers workshop.

And there right in the middle of it was a long piece of leather. Next to the leather was an awl-a long, pointed tool for punching holes. Louis knew he shouldn’t.
