Character Critical Thinkings Samples For Students

According to Dr. Martin Luther king junior critical thinking is a vast field that encompasses various aspects of everyday life. It is therefore much more complicated than simply engaging in mental activities aimed at arriving at a certain conclusion. According to Dr. Martin Luther king true education encompasses a coalition of character and intelligence. He further stresses that the most dangerous villain might in fact turn out to be the most intelligent member of society who just so happens to be at a state of moral bankruptcy. Thus morality is very important in critical thinking and arriving at an amicable solution that has ...

Discussion 1 - Analyzing Point of View

A point of view is considered as the narration of a given story from a given perspective of the first, second, and third person.

It is often the case that science fiction writers infuse aspects of religion in their works. In the case of the two books Out of the Silent Planet and Bellwether the authors have infused aspects of religion in their works as will be shown in this essay. The presence of science fiction in books makes the genre more interesting to read. In the two novels the two main characters are characterized by their agency and their subjectivity. This means that they exhibit a mythic dimension and an ethical dimension. Characterized by their agency, the main characters in these novels are ...

Introduction:

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, E Pauline Johnson’s ‘A Red Girl’s Reasoning’ and Emily Dickinson’s poetry all explore what can be seen to be similar themes such as doomed love, unrequited passions and identity. Metaphor is also present in Dickinson’s poetry where the allegorical nature of her writings arouses feelings of intimate passion on a smaller yet no less powerful scale. One can observe an indelible link between all three female authors who were concerned with love ...

Introduction This paper outlines and in details explains how the modern –day Holmes applies or extends the cinematic concepts borrowed from the early classical conventions of Conan Doyle. The comparison and contrast are crucial in understanding whether changes, extensions or imitation of the previous works have altered or improved the literature. Therefore, this rhetorical analysis is geared towards examining the characters, scenes, settings, plots, themes, and literature style of the two chronologically divided works. Because written texts and TV series are meant to satisfy the target audience, the bottom-line of scenic details is to pass the messages to the ...

Animals have always been used in fiction literature to display the character and nature of human beings. People have diversified characters, which can be best defined by specific behaviours displayed by certain animals. In the story of Pi, the tiger has been used to display the strong, dangerous and daring nature of Pi character. The articles, Little red riding Hood and The company of Wolves tell the character of the wolf and how the animal has been used to represent the devil or the beastly acts of men on women. The two animals, the tiger and the wolf not only ...

The seminal epic which is attributed to the great Greek poet, Homer, delves deep into the heroic tales and in turn attains the stature of an immortal literary work which has continued to evoke the interest and awe of people from all across the globe since it got popularized. The work goes on to immortalize many characters which have become prototypes in the course of time. Starting from the literary critic to a common man, everyone has been baffled by the sheer quintessence of the Iliad which has been hailed as the omnipotent human expression and documentation of the tales ...

The disabled character in To Kill a Mockingbird is Tom Robinson; his disability is a physical one, as one of his arms was mutilated in an accident some years prior to the events of the film. To that end, he is unable to use it in any way. Despite his physical disability, he is an extremely strong character; for one thing, he demonstrates a kindness and compassion for others, as he states that he helped Mayella (the woman he is charged with raping and beating) because he felt sorry for her during his testimony. He often took up Mayella’s requests for help ( ...

Cassandra is a novel told about the survivors of the Trojan War. It is the story of a young woman named Cassandra, and her struggles during the post-war era. There are many different ways to analyze literature, but one of the leading literary analysts, Gerard Genette, has provided an extremely useful method for analyzing novels like Cassandra by Christa Wolf. Because Cassandra does not have a coherent or cohesive timeline, and rather jumps about in time with little warning, special types of literary analyses must be applied to the text to truly dig into the meaning of the multifaceted text.

It is my position that crime is largely a consequence of nurture. The case of Kuklinski can be used illustratively. Social upbringing has a large bearing on the decision. Kuklinski, for instance, is a product of brutal parenthood from his father. He equally admits that he hated his mother who would punish him by the cane (used broom to punish him). He (Kuklinski) confirms that he derives no pleasure from killing. In fact, he limits his pleasure feeling to sexual intercourse. However, it is not always the case that everyone who is neglected and abused would turn violent. Determining the course one ...

The story, You are Ugly, Too is one instance of a character driven story. The plot of the story is rather sparse and is filled with critical perspective of Zoe Hendricks. The major layering of the story carries a series of anecdotes, which intertwine with flashbacks to create a small work of art. The major ...

William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream is a broadly comedic, yet immensely thematic work - much of these ideas about love, gender, transformation, and foolishness come through the character of Nick Bottom. Despite the subtle humor of many other characters in the play (Puck, for example), Nick Bottom has very on-the-nose, sensational humor in his repertoire. He is far from the primary focus of the play; he is the main character of the subplot of a troupe of actors producing a play telling the story of Pyramus and Thisbe. Throughout the play, he deals with the situations that are presented to him ...

A few years ago, there was an architectural competition for the restructuring of squares and pedestrians areas in Aglantzia, a part of Nicosia in Cyprus. Architects from the firm of Ioakim and Loizas won the competition. They intended to keep the design ‘traditional’ in order to preserve the surrounding structures in the region.
The philosophy of the proposal was that of gentle intervention, aiming at maintenance and re-establishment of elements of composition, character and "atmosphere of place". The proposal was focused on the re-establishment of continuity, extending vegetation as a basic component of quality of life, which helps in defining ...

Money often acts as source happiness, yet it may result sorrows. “The Cherry Orchard” presents a situation where the two main characters appear seemingly bound in bondage for the good and bad of money, and the way they use their treasures. Flights cover the whole usage of money and social crimes are not exception. The strength of money elates many people into deals that later prove not worthy the course. At the same time, money’s main motive includes investment, which presents the idea of taking risks that are worth (Carruthers 59). Ranevsky and Lopakhin in “The Cherry Orchard” relay ...

He came up with many famous poems and plays throughout his life, with ‘My Last Duchess’ being one of them.
The poem is based on historical events and involves Duke of Ferrara as its central and most important character. The Duke recites this poem to an emissary ...

1) In the 1960 Stanley Kubrick film Spartacus, Spartacus (played by an icy and heroic Kirk Douglas) is an effective presentation of the character within the context of the film itself. Douglas' steely presence, indicated by his fierce eyes and imposing physicality, shows a character of immense strength and courage. He is a man of action, using few words, especially in the beginning, to convey his inner thoughts; like many slaves, his thoughts turn only to survival, lashing out with an economical sense of force in the many gladiatorial training and battle scenes he is to endure throughout the film. His ...

In both of Ernest Hemingway’s short stories “The Killers” and ‘The Old Man at the Bridge,” a character faces the probability of death. In “The Killers,’ a former prizefighter learns that two assassins have been hired to kill him, while in “The Old Man at the Bridge,” an elderly man stays at the likely site of an impending wartime conflict. Each of them faces the prospect of death in a similar way, seemingly calmly accepting that their death is imminent. However, the reaction of the other characters in the two stories differs. The scout in “The Old Man at the Bridge” ...

In Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie, there are a number of symbols inserted into the play that represent a theme or a character trait that help to portray something deeper about these people than can be normally conveyed through the typical methods of dialogue and direction. In this paper, we will examine five of these symbols and how they are developed throughout the course of the play. It is then made clear just how effectively symbols are used as a visual representations of the character’s inner motivations, as well as the messages about society and the human experience that the playwright attempts ...

In the book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver, the author chronicles the attempts by her and her family to spend an entire year eating nothing but locally grown food. Toward this end, Kingsolver concludes that it is entirely possible, though difficult in the process of adjusting and acclimating oneself to these new conditions, to eat only natural food, adjusting one's diet to the local growth available in the season. The author clearly links the wholesomeness, freshness and healthiness of these organic and local foods to the ubiquity and assembly-line perfection of the supermarket in one particular passage, which ...

The image of Tragic Hero is well known from the ancient times. Such characters were mentioned in Greek, Roman, Indian legends, fairy tales as well as dramas, tragedies and other literature works. One of the most famous heroes, which possess all the features of the tragic character, is Oedipus the King mentioned in the Greek ancient drama written by prominent playwright Sophocles.

In times of ancient Greeks tragedy did not mean a play with unhappy or lethal ending. It only meant that the play would depict a hero, who must fight against his fate. The character should also possess features thanks ...

Question 1

According to Aristotle, virtue is simply a state of character. Every person has a character that results from the repetition of certain kinds of habits or activities. Aristotle defines ethical virtue (or excellence) as a positive character trait. It is the excellence in fulfilling a particular function. Virtues are not inborn, but rather, developed by means of habits. However, the capacity to develop virtues is inborn. Aristotle notes that, not every habit imparts virtues; some habits work against virtues.
Aristotle concludes that ethical virtue or excellence is a characteristic that involves choice. The choice result from observing the mean, which is determined by ...

The nature of acting means that actors are a chameleon - they disappear into a role, oftentimes playing a character who is totally unlike themselves. However, sometimes this means it can be very hard to separate the man from the role - we cannot see the man as anything but who he plays on TV. One substantial example is the actor Robert Knepper, who played "T-Bag" on Prison Break, and subsequent bad-guy creeps in shows like Breakout Kings and Stargate Universe. All of his major performances seem to be of morally unscrupulous, unforgivable villains, all with nefarious motives and unpredictable tempers.

However, ...

Hemingway’s Big Two-Hearted River: Parts I and II

If it were not mentioned in the question for part one, I would have missed the idea that Nick is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). From this brief section of Hemingway’s writing, it is hard to know the experiences Nick has been through that caused PTSD. However, his comfort with absolute isolation from humanity is one indicator that he has suffered, and his independence in his camping as a self-healing experience lend to the idea that he has faced an ordeal he is escaping from.
The descriptions of the stream and the trout, as Nick observes ...

Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo is a master's class in subtle and effective filmmaking - its noirish tale of obsession and loss is considered one of his best works. This is due in no small part to the directors' use of the various elements of film as a mirror. Hitchcock intends to create a sense of repetition and a cyclical nature to the life of the characters in the film; following Scottie (James Stewart) through his descent and ascent into madness deals significantly with themes of duality and obsession. Furthermore, the use of film as a mirror onto ourselves is made very clear in the audience's ...

Developing character is a very important thing for a young person; youth who managed to develop positive skills and behaviors early in life can carry those behaviors through to the rest of their lives. Some of those important aspects of character include respect, honesty, courage, civility, responsibility, and more (Doty, p. 3). Team building and cooperation are other beneficial aspects of character that should be instilled in children at a young age. Participation in sports and sports-related activities has been shown to have a tremendously positive effect on the character of those who participate. Not only are there significant physical, mental and social ...

Canadian writer and poet Margaret Atwood is first of all famous for her novels. The novel titled Oryx and Crake was published in 2003 and was the finalist for the Booker Prize. It is a brilliant combination of the fantasy and the love story. The reader gets absorbed with the plot from the very first chapter when the main character is found in a tree. His name’s Snowman and he is probably the last living man in the whole world. He is surrounded by strange creatures called Crakers, who take care of him and seem to worship him as well. ...

The authors indicated that the movie directors tend to twist facts so as to make their films more interesting and acceptable to the movie goers and ultimately to ensure that they are more bankable or financially successful in Hollywood. The article on ``Cinderella Man'' for instance had pointed out that the movie director of this film Ron Howard had ``omitted or suppressed'' some good qualities of a major character (in this case boxer Max Bauer who fought the lead character, fellow boxer James Braddock). Bauer was portrayed at one point in the film as a mean person (in reality he was ...

A common feature of most of Ernest Hemingway’s books is his use of a hero character. More specifically, there is usually two types of hero: a code hero and a Hemingway hero. The latter is usually a young character who has plenty to learn about life and its trials, whereas the former is usually older and has a greater level of life experience and frequently acts in a mentoring-style role to the younger Hemingway hero (Tyler 29). These dual types of heroes are presented throughout his body of works and in particular, the character Nick Adams who featured in a number of ‘episodes’ written by ...

The topic of free will versus fate in Homer’s, The Iliad, is the subject of this paper. In the Iliad, gods are portrayed as active in human affairs. Stories of the gods reflect the happenings in nature and human events. Homer suggests that the interaction between the humans and the gods may be a predictor of the fate of the humans. However, at times, characters like Achilles appear to have a free will. At other times, neither the humans nor the gods are portrayed as being in control of the fate of the humans.

Each character grapples with free will ...

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a novel focusing on the cause and effect of a criminal act. The reader is introduced to Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov, a Russian down and out who is struggling to survive his own poverty. To get money quickly, Raskolnikov chooses to rob and murder a local pawnbroker. These initial actions happen very early in the book’s progress and it quickly devolves into a series of self-involved, guilt-driven inner monologues of a murderer. The colour red appears repeatedly throughout the novel. Traditionally, red is associated with anger, passion and an impulsive surge of emotion. In Crime and Punishment, the ...

The naming of the main character ‘Phoenix’ in Welty’s short story “A Worn Path” provides many different implications and meanings for the character, providing subtext that would otherwise be missing from such a self-contained tale. The Phoenix is a mythical bird that lives for hundreds of years before burning itself into ashes, a new phoenix rising from those ashes, reborn. In myth and legend, the Phoenix is a symbol of strength, integrity, rebirth and dedication. It is also known to be quite benevolent, giving of others and adoring of the sunlight. It has a very strong connection to the colors red and crimson, which ...

There are several phrases that have been used repeatedly by Leopold Bloom in the course of Ulysses. For example ‘High Grade ha’ – this seems to be referring to the novel itself. The ‘high grade’ is so because the author can show off knowledge of Hebrew, discourse on reservoirs and gravity. The author is depicted as an annoying genius without self control, washing the reader away in vain and infantile torrent of words.

Stephen Dedalus is the literary alter ego of James Joyce. He appears as a protagonist and antihero of his first autographical novel. He appears in Ulysses as the ...

Warren I Susman argues that in the early twentieth century, the “culture of personality” replaced the “culture of character”. He presents a chronological argument that the issues of modern life, industries and the general urge for people to exert their presence in the midst of vast changes compelled men to value personality more than character. In the face of changing lifestyles and socio-economic activities character could not hold to advance the interest of men in dynamic societies such as the United States and hence personality had to get intertwined with culture for the sake of progression.
Susman is right ...

Shot in 1972, The Godfather by Francis Ford Coppola has become one of the iconic motion pictures in the world cinematography, and is still watched by the contemporary audience. The key to success of the film is hidden in the director’s profound artistic approach to reflecting the novel written by Mario Puzo. The talent of the author who provided the screenplay for the film together with the talent of the director who made it visually unique provided the future of the motion picture that is quoted and alluded to most often among others. This paper is thus going ...

Tennessee Williams is one of the best-known playwrights from the mid-twentieth century, becoming famous for his work The Glass Menagerie in the year 1944. Although Williams would go on to create a variety of different pieces of literature and a number of stage classics, The Glass Menagerie remains one of his most well-known and well-loved pieces. Much of Williams’ work was later adapted for use in the cinema, and the movies made about his classic pieces became popular as well. Born to an overbearing father and a typical “southern belle” mother, Williams was a sickly child who tended towards books and studying rather ...

Realism is a unique philosophical belief that suggests that a person’s reality (which can be characterized by his perception of life, including the things a person has and the experiences he has encountered), or a certain aspect of such reality is dependent on subjective factors and is ontologically independent from standard conceptual schemes, linguistic practices, beliefs, perceptions, and other established system . Realism is generally the view that entities, which in this are humans, have an objective reality, a reality that is completely and ontologically independent of those entities’ conceptual schemes, linguistic practices, beliefs, and etc. Thus, entities including abstract concepts and universals as ...

This paper will conduct a literary analysis of Macbeth. The main purpose of the research is to examine the moral and ethical issues present in the play. In particular, the research examines different aspects of characterization, setting, and imagery in order to provide an in-depth understanding of the ethical and moral issues that surround Macbeth’s plot. From the play, it is clear that Shakespeare uses characterization to depict moral and ethical dilemmas in the play. Macbeth and Lady Macbeth are both unethical characters in the play since they are engaged in a number of murders and executions that ...

Maryse Conde’s ‘The Tropical Breeze Hotel’ is a pre-colonial play that focuses on the issue of the black body and struggle for power and identity. The Black Body is an issue that has a long history from the pre-colonial period and some authors have addressed the issue using dramatic writing. In the play, Conde unleashes a power struggle between the two characters, Emma, and Ishmael, which reveals a gender-based struggle or grasp for an identity. The author uses the two characters who constantly appear to switch roles as a way of balancing each other’s character. The play ...

Gender roles and gender-related stereotypes are often depicted in literary works. For example, Shakespeare’s play “Macbeth” could be considered misogynistic because it promotes the stereotype that women are the root of all evil, manipulate men for their selfish needs, and create chaos because all female characters in the play show that form of behavior. On the other hand, it is also possible to notice the lack of stability and logic in the main character Macbeth who is depicted as a naïve, indecisive, and dependent character. In “Candide,” it is possible to notice that Voltaire depicts the vulnerability and ...

In the English-speaking cinematography, 1995 was the year of Jane Austen. As if trying to celebrate the 220th anniversary of the writer, who since the 20th century became to some extent even a cult figure, the filmmakers created just three versions of her novels “Sense and Sensibility”, “Pride and Prejudice” and “Emma”. I like the Jane Austen’s creativity and read almost all her books. I saw a lot of different adaptations of the book “Pride and Prejudice”, and by and large I like all of them. After seeing the film adaptation of “Sense and Sensibility”, directed by Ang ...

The biography of Marjane Satrapi is the focus of this paper. The author’s biography shades light on the lives of Islamic women governed by their religious and cultural norms and the role of the men in the same. Satrapi’s work depicts the life of a Muslim woman and the expectations the society has with regard to the female gender. Gender inequality is an important matter as it inhibits people of a certain gender from basic rights, thus subjecting them to a prejudiced life. Inequality that favors the men affects the society at different levels because the aforementioned restrictions hinder personal ...

Actually, community is such a main theme of the Beowulf and Odyssey that it just about looks like there is a stable reminder repeatedly in Beowulf. Each facet of life is overwhelmed in community matters; each meal, each gathering, each celebration is performed as a combine and whole. The happy times as well as the dire times are combined and shared inside the walls of the kingdom in Beowulf, mutually as one community. All through ‘Odyssey’, the perpetual gods rule the world with the ethical standard of caring the home as well as community. Anybody who deliberately ...

Washington Street, penned by Henry James, is a work of realist fiction, which takes on the cliché plot line of a traditional romance. In essence, a plain, naive, and inherently good young woman is pursued by an older man with ulterior motives. From within this traditional plot structure, James explores the nature of relationships, with a particular interest in marriage. Overall, he presents marriage as a troupe established for social purposes and essentially forming a simplistic social contract, with romance removed, or ruined by the interplay of social demands and questionable motives. This can be directly contrasted with the ...
