Character Study 3

The beginning of our jorney was starting out smooth. We were all getting along and enjoying the company of Princess Rachel's puppy. As we began driving out of Ice Land, we suddenly hit something with our motor home. We got out of the car and were staring at a three-headed mutant completely in tact without a scratch. The three heads in unison said their names were Dan Smith, Tyroil Smoochie-Wallace and EEE EEEE. They told us that they are the Dragonbuster and were here to help us slay the dragon. After a brief discussion amoungst ourselves we decided the the mutant could travel in the trailer we were pulling that housed Ninja Whitney's horse Thunder. Once we crossed into Candy Land we were all hungry so we stopped to make food. Connor went to check on the mutant, or so we thought. In reality his plan was to stop us from slaying the dragon. One way he knew he could slow us down was if he got rid of the Dragonbuster. While the rest of us ate happily, Connor brutely murdered the Mutant. When he returned to the motor home he stated that the mutant fell out of the trailer and died. When he told us, we all honestly believed him. The only sceptic in the crowd was Professor A, who could sense he was lying. But we did not find this out until it was too late.....

Canterbury Tales 1

The character I enjoyed reading the most about, was probably the tavern host. I know that the whole prologue is supposed to be focused on the characters who are flawed and have secrets, but I can't help who interests me. I love how the host sees all of these people and asks to join them on their journey. In a way, I feel as though I would be just like the host. I would make a deal with them all as he did and have them tell me stories. I am all for bets and stories, so that is why he is my favorite. In the prologue itself, you find the author wanted commoners to read his work and be entertained by his lavish descriptions.

What A Character

A fictional character that has made an impression on me, would have to be Elizabeth from Pride and Prejudice. I was first lured to her because of her strong personality. I guess in a way she reminds me a lot like my own sister in many ways. Elizabeth never left her family's side, even though time became tough and it was hard to support them. She never let her society form her, she is her own person and no one can get in the way of that.

Literature Analysis #1

1) Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is about two laborers in California who hustle work were they can. They plan to live on the fat of the land once they earn enough money to own their own acres. George helps Lennie to remember how to act and what and what not to say. Everything seems within their reach until a flirtatious woman leads Lennie to do something he regrets, ending his life. The narrative fulfills the authors purpose by getting the overall message across through his writing. Everything is very nicely detailed and it reached my expectations perfectly.

On the 1987 AP exam, I did alright. I miss quite a few, but the ones I missed turned out to be mostly the ones everyone else missed, according to the statistics.

My performance was accurate due to how much time I spent taking the test.
