  • Character Analysis: The Death Ray

    1269 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Death Ray by Daniel Clowes is a graphic novel about the story of Andy and how he learned about his superpowers. A superhero is someone who has saved the day by accomplishing something heroic. Even though we look at superheroes as a something fiction, based on this we have everyday heroes around us such as firefighters, police officers, doctors and many more. In Clowes work, we quickly discover that this superhero theme plays out a little differently than what we are used to. The way that Clowes presents Andy to his super power, it is evident this is not an ordinary superhero story. It is arguable that despite the fact that Andy did more harm than good with his powers, his intentions were good. Therefore, he would be considered a superhero.

  • Death of a Salesman Character Analysis

    1323 Words  | 3 Pages

    Alistair Deacon from As Time Goes By once said that, “The people in the book need to be people.” The main character in a story or in a play always has to be somewhat likeable or relatable. Who doesn’t like to feel like they can relate to their favorite character in a story? In many cases the authors of stories or books always try to make the reader feel like they are not the only ones with problems or going through a crazy situation. Wanting the reader to become engaged in the characters' conflicts is what they aim for. In Arthur Miller’s play, Death of a Salesman, many people were gripped by Willy Loman’s, the main character, problems because they too struggle with many of the conflicts that Willy faces. Willy could not keep his life together, failing to see reality and pursuing the wrong dream, with a wrong viewpoint, ended up causing others around him and himself to hurt.

  • Staying Alive Character Analysis

    1042 Words  | 3 Pages

    A theme present throughout the novel was the ripple effect of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD - on the lives of those suffering and those who surround them. I thought this less talked about topic was brought to light in an effectively confronting way. A handful of chapters reflecting on Andy’s memories fighting in Afghanistan/Iraq showed what may be going on in someone’s mind that has fought in a war. “Shock waves ripple through metal, glass, and flesh. Bones crumble. Skin explodes. Nerves snap. Brains slosh and spill in dented tin skulls. Arteries spray like high pressure hoses, painting the world a bright, sad red.” Later, when talking to a young man, he tells him, “Killing people is easier than it should be.” “Staying alive is the hard part.” These lines show a deeper reality of war and what it’s like after returning, still haunted by the memories.

  • The Shaping Of My Character Analysis

    503 Words  | 2 Pages

    My first essay, “The Shaping of My Character” was a personal narrative. It was easier to write this paper because it was about my own experiences. I wrote the narrative on the “golden rule,” about how witnessing cruelty let me know that was not how I wanted to be. Therefore, this rule facilitated the women I am today. This essay made me think about a friend whom I have not thought about in years. Annie’s bullying and teasing inspired me to follow the rule, “treat others how you want to be treated.” Reviewing the essay, some parts could have been further elaborated. Providing examples and elaborations are shortcomings in my writing; I will keep working on that.
