Part one was exciting and interesting and entertaining. It was an easy read, the language was not very hard to understand and the characters were quite round. The main characters are the base of the real story, but they are so dynamic that their characters are easily described from the readers point of view. I am really confused with this character chart and am not sure how to fill it out. But I do know what i think of the characters.
Lets begin with Scout. Also known as Jean-Louise, Scout is very tomboyish, wears overalls, plays games with her older brother and his friend, reads with her father and is way to smart for her 2nd grade class. What a girl. The way I see it, she is a perfect role model. She goes about her business and can care less about the way she looks, or what others say about her, yet cares for the ones she loves.
Jem on the other hand is quite the "man" he defends his family when he should be a "gentleman" and respect his fathers wants. Jem is rebellious, protective, and irresponsible. He does a lot of things he should not and say a lot of things he should have thought out first. Dill is unspoken, and mysterious. When Scout hears that Dill is actually very poor, has no father, and his handed from relative to relative all the time, she just can't believe it. Should we? What is his true story, why does he hide it, who is that little person with such a big name.
Atticus is one of those adults you want to hug and say, "you are such a great person." Atticus is more caring and like Scout, ignores everything that is said behind his back, yet takes it as a complete gentleman and respects others for their own opinion. What a guy. You see where Atticus rubbed off on Scout. Atticus is very appreciated by his children, a wonderful parent, a wonderful person, and a role model especially for Scout.
This character chart is confusing me lots, but i know what the characters are from my view, and don't really know where certain things go but I hope this is what we were supposed to do. Somewhat. OK. Good night and see ya in class.
Cool Beans:)
I think Atticus ignores not only what is said behind his back, but also what is said to his face. He is just that type of person.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Atticus' personality and kindness just rubs off to Scout.
I agree about the character chart and how the character mean their own thing in your own world. I found myself in that exact position, too.
Good post.(:
I agree totally when you say that Atticus has rubbed off on Scout. Atticus is just one of those people that is a good role-model. He is strong willed, smart, and loves to read. Scout has all of these traits, making her a strong little lady.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree when you said that Scout is the perfect role model. She is really true to herself, but sometimes I wish she was more of a girl. It's kinda disappointing that she has no mother and no mother figure to make her more of a girl, but I like what you said. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your post and what you said about all the characters :) especially that atticus. But I'm not so sure if I would want to hug him..he seems like he would intimadate me to much to do that. I would definately want to tell him what a great person he is though!
