My character's name is Patch. He has no last name, or so I believe since he hasn't said he has one. Patch wants to kill the main character ( Nora Grey) in order to gain a human life. He is a fallen angel that fell to Earth after having a relationship with another angel. After falling, he wanted to find a Nephilim vassel. Nephilim are the offspring of fallen angels and humans. They are purely evil, making the fallen angels want to eradicate the Nephilim. The Nephilim want to stop the fallen angels from taking their bodies every Cheshvan, so they're building a secret army to go against them. Putting all this together allows me to see that the tension and danger adds to Patch's involvement in the story. Patch is a distrusting character. He …show more content…
Patch shows that he is mysterious by lurking in the shadows. He tries not to get too close to certain things, people, places, nouns.. etc..This would be both indirect and direct characterization, because in a few scenarios, Patch speaks of being sly and difficult to track down. He knows his way around even though he hasn't been on Earth long. That's just what he says though. His actions bring out another side of mystery. He seems to hide a lot of things, but denies that he does. Patch shows mystery when he tries to plot things, and there's a slight look that he gives when he knows he won't fail. He also manages to pop up in the least expected places. He seems to know exactly where Nora is all the time and seems to follow …show more content…
Reason being, he is a fallen angel and has certain powers that allow him greater strength and psychic powers than humans and Nephilim. This is direct and indirect characterization for the facts of that he tells Nora that he has the powers when he warms up to her, and he shows it through his actions by making people see visions of death, ways they can die, his strength is supernatural, and he can take control of bodies. All together, Patch is a dynamic character because in the beginning of the story he has this” I don't care” attitude, but after a while, he begins to soften and begins to care what’s going on around him. Also, he’d originally wanted to kill Nora to become human, but later declines it when she sacrifices herself because he has gained feelings for her. Patch also decides to go against the archangel’s rules to have a relationship with Nora, causing him to go into hiding. He even becomes a guardian angel after refusing Nora’s sacrifice. He changed a lot through the story, but these are the main
At first, in Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy, Zach is a mysterious boy that Cammie, Macey, Bex, and Liz spend hours trying to figure out. For example, the study date with Cammie and Zach. While Cammie was trying to get information, Zach was tricking and messing with her. This is a real hint at his character traits. The character trait is again showed when the Code Black happened and Zach didn’t own up to being with Cammie. (“‘Cammie?’ Zach asked, sounding confused. ‘Morgan?’ he asked again, then laughed. ‘Why would I be with her?’” -page 156) Though these two examples

The play “A Raisin in the Sun” by Lorraine Hansberry has many interesting characters. In my opinion, the most fascinating character is Ruth because of her many emotions and captivating personality. She goes through extreme emotions in the play such as happiness, sadness, anger, stress, and confusion. Ruth is very independent, firm, kind, witty, and loving.
Much work goes into musical , as was the case in “Catch Me If You Can”,which La Joya Middle School drama had the pleasure of watching on January 15, put on by El Diamante High School.

This incredible play carried a strong lesson. As was seen the protagonist ran from his problems and pretended to be someone who he wasn't. The plot of this story showed us that we can't run from our problems, for that only worsens the situation and is a snowball for our problems.

Screwtape's main reason for telling Wormwood about humanity's experience of "troughs and peaks" (IV) is almost one of a scolding nature. While we never see Wormwood 's letters to his uncle, it can be inferred that he is inexperienced, immature, and somewhat clueless on how to be a good demon. In one of his letters to his uncle, Wormwood states that he "has great hopes that the patient's religious phase is dying away" (VIII). This statement is one of many signs of Wormwood's immaturity that we see in the Letters. Apparently, our human condition is very complex to demons, too complex for young demons like Wormwood to understand fully. His uncle Screwtape, humanized by Lewis as some type of old man who gives a younger generation the rundown on
