Characters are made to be relate able. Authors strive to make their characters as human as possible. Through the weeks we have been reading short stories in our English class. Our teachers have challenged us to find a character that we relate to the most. Some examples of these characters are MeiMei, the King, Monstresser, and Doodle’s brother. The character that I think I relate to the most is the King from The Three Questions story.
One comparison between the King and me is we both ask a lot of questions. The King had questions that he wanted answered by someone. So he searched far and wide to find someone that could answer his them. Just like him I always have questions and when I want to find the answer I go ask everyone if they know what it is (usually this person is my mother). The King searched everywhere for someone to answer his questions. He even gave out a reward to anyone who could give him the correct answer. The King search his entire kingdom to get theses questions answered. I probably wouldn’t have given out an award for the answer, but I do go to great lengths to get my questions answered. The King wanted to know all kinds of things just like me, and he hunted out someone to answer his questions.

In the story the King's questions were: when was the right time to begin everything, who were the right people to listen to, who to avoid, and what was the most important thing to do it at a certain time. Theses questions are really complicated, and take a lot of time to think about. Theses are the kinds of questions that I like to ask people. A lot of the questions I ask are "would you rather" or "what would you do". I always try to make my questions complicated, just because I like watching people try to figure them out. Just like the King my questions are complicated and can have multiple didn’t

I would describe the Mesopotamians ideal of kingship as courageous and a shepherd of the people. The basis of the monarch’s legacy is his arrogance, courage, beauty, and god like self.
Among his use of logic King also uses the rhetorical appeal of Ethos to show his credibility and explain his reasoning for demonstrations. ...
King’s diction exemplifies his ability to include every side of an argument. When he argues, his first point remains to justify the point he is proving wrong to ensure full understanding. When king rephrases his opposes “in your statement” he refers back to original source of controversy that led him to write his argument. This helps the reader understand exactly were he bases his argument on leaving no room for misconceptions. He addresses first their argument then proves it wrong in his. By acknowledge first his opponents view “you express great deal of anxiety” he expresses his own opinion on theirs. By a showing both sides of the argument, King obliterates any opportunity for misunderstanding. Another aspect in pulling in all sides of his argument can be seen when instead of using his own opinion to deflect the argument; King uses the words of prestigious people. When King states, “I agree with St. Augustine” he shows that his point remains not only his, but also the belief of a very well renowned person. In using the words of St. Augustine, King demonstrates utmost reason. His rivals in this way cannot minimize his point for King shares the same view as more respect...
Tom Sawyer. He is Huck's best friend and comrade to their adventures. He is smart and witty but sometimes nasty. He betrayed Jim just to play along with the scheme that Huck put up just to be adventurous even if he don't have to. He is both static and a flat character.
In Mark Twains’ books he relates himself to a characters by giving them some of his personal life and history. In the book The Adventures of Huck Finn, Mark Twain relates the most to the main character of Huck Finn. Mark Twain and the character Huck Finn have similarities in their lives, such as, Twain placing Huck on the river he grew up on, having Huck not be specific with his religious beliefs, and never staying in the same place for long.
This I was sincerely excited for, because I was given an opportunity to relate and or disagree with a character as a whole. This allowed for so many connections to be made from my own life to Rodger, the character I was assigned. In this paper I wrote 4 years ago, I made connections to Rodger through reading the novel Lord of the Flies. At the time I did not understand the literary limitations holding me to writing the way I was for example, rhetors, audience, exigence, kiros, and constraints.
Jean-Baptiste Colbert, who was a French minister, held the king in high esteem because he had a good position in the royal courts. “He [Colbert] also thought that it would be necessary to strike a large number of medals, to consecrate for posterity the memory of the great deeds which the king had already achieved and which he foresaw would be followed by deeds even greater and more noteworthy.” (VIII, 200) Colbert thought so highly of the king that he assumed the above quote. He thought of the king so highly because of the good position he had and how much the king liked him.
In the era of my rule, a king was not someone who simply delivered orders to his “men” while he sat on his throne awaiting confirmation of a victory. Men admired their leader for: outstanding courage, selflessness to his tribe, personal valor, and ability to survive despite the toughest opposition. Heroism and leadership are characteristics that brought my fellow men to abide by my side despite the situation, which in response led me to become such an aspiring leader, and in the end a hero – the demonstration to attain glory through brawls. Traditions, natural laws, and religion are descriptions of my heroism and leadership.
"Everything exists together in a delicate balance. As king you need to understand that balance, and respect all the creatures...when we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass. The sun rises from the night, and the winter becomes the spring, so life arises from death. Everything is connected in the great circle of life."
Who would have thought that being a king would be so difficult? Oedipus and Macbeth are both kings that seem to have a lot of trouble staying king. The similarities do not stop there. Macbeth and Oedipus are similar in a variety of ways. The interesting thing is that they are also very different but still suffer the same fate. These similarities and differences teach us a valuable lesson about power.
He is a king, was a prince, son of a king and was raised up by a king
The King is dead and Lord Tywin is asking Tommen, his grandson (the new King) what he thinks what makes a good King. Tommen lists off attributes such as; holiness, just, and strength. Lord Tywin, agrees that these are all good qualities to have. However, he says holiness is a naïve characteristic to have as a King [leader]. Tywin, explains that being a just King [leader] can leave you in a vulnerable place if you are not careful. Furthermore, having strength as a King [leader] is a very powerful characteristic to have when you have some many others looking towards to lead. But, all of these King [leader] attributes are nothing on their own, you can not have one without the others, but there is something missing in this picture. Tommen points out that they (pervious Kings) all lacked wisdom.
