Character Analysis: The Walking Dead By Vera Nazarian

Andy Lee - 9D
Vera Nazarian, a well-known American writer, once said, “Friends are a strange, volatile, contradictory, yet sticky phenomenon. They are made, crafted, shaped, molded, created by focused effort and intent. And yet, true friendship, once recognized, in its essence is effortless.” In my own life, I have met new people who became my friends. They often have their own distinct personalities and abilities that I admire. Similarly, people cherish various characters who are featured in different TV shows and films, often because of the same reasons why we treasure our peers.
