The Resilience In The Play

Characterization gives a reader insight into the way the characters think and act. The novel, Something Wicked This Way Comes contains many important characters, but one that frequently gives guidance to the reader and the characters, this man’s name is Charles Halloway. Charles Halloway said “Too late, I found that you can’t wait to become perfect, you got to go out and fall down and get up with everybody else.” No one is perfect, but everyone can change and grow to become better than they originally were. The same is true when it comes to family, a person does not need to follow their path; they can create their own. Reason for the article The Art of Resilience is the ability for a person to recover readily from adversity, and to achieve a higher standard of growth. “Some evidence shows that it’s not really until adulthood that people begin to surmount the difficulties of childhood,” states the article The Art of Resilience. A person can begin to develop and transform at any time. In conclusion, the characterization of both story and article helps to add reasoning to the overall moral. Facts and details are needed to create the bulk of a paragraph as well as reveal the

In Debra Oswald’s play Gary’s House, the audience is introduced to crucial character, Christine. Christine plays a meaningful role in this play as she has a distinct change in thinking and actions. In the beginning of the play, it suggests that Christine is lonely and has a nomadic lifestyle in the stage directions “A country town motel room”. The composer uses this setting to indicate that Christine is travelling and doesn’t commit to one place or situation. Further into the play we recognize that Christine Drifted between foster homes and this is why she doesn’t guarantee commitment. In addition to this Christine quotes, “And that poor baby. What chance has it got? Rule number one never have kids. If you’re damaged like Gary and me.” This shows that what happened in the past affects her, as she believes she or

Everyone encounters obstacles in life that they feel like they can't overcome. People that have 'resilience' can take these challenges head on, stay calm in any situation, and use their problem-solving skills to take advantage of the situation and get themselves out of it. In a section of "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand, a biography of war hero Louie Zamperini, Zamperini is adrift at sea after his bomber crashed in the ocean. He is left with just the remains of the plane and two others, Phil and Mac. Louie Zamperini's key characteristics of resilience and the differences between all three men allow them to overcome adversity, and Louie and Phil make it out alive.

Resilience is about being independent, standing on your own two feet or taking back the power.

Everyone knows that some people can paint and draw better than others and you can also be artistic in many different styles. Resilience can be described in the same way, some are more resilient than others and many people have different ways of expressing resilience. Elizabeth Edwards lists a couple of different ways people can be resilient, "Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it's less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you've lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that is good". In the book 'The Glass Castle' by Jeannette Walls each character shows a different way to be resilient and how their resilience impacted their lives.

Resilience is the ability to overcome struggles. In the book Night, Elie Wiesel is put into a concentration camp during the Holocaust. During his time there, Elie would not have been able to be so resilient without his father by his side. In Boys in The Boat, Joe Rantz would also have struggled to overcome his struggles without his dad. However, without Joe’s father treating him so badly throughout his childhood Joe might not have been so motivated to prove to his father that he was strong. In both books, Joe and Elie both demonstrate resilience by using their family to overcome their struggles.

In the novel The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls there are many moments in which you notice the struggle that the family and family are going through. By constructing this response to the proposed question; it forces you to look deeper into the stories character and see their resilience. Now of course in this novel there were characters that showed very little resilience or never sprung back from the situation they were in at a younger age. In this essay I will be explaining resilience and use examples from The Glass Castle to prove my points.

Resilience is the power or the ability to return to the original form. “Resilience is born by grounding yourself in your own loveliness, hitting notes you thought were way out of your range” (94). Father Gregory Boyle says this because he knows that resilience is needed in order to change. Resilience is important because we can become better people by doing things, we thought we couldn’t do. In the book, Tattoos on the Heart, The Power of Boundless Compassion, Boyle claims resilience is essential in our lives because it is the key to do better.

In order to build up resilience, a student must learn to support themselves and seek support from others. A student that supports themselves can lead themselves into a better future because they are learning through experience. For example, Lori in The Glass Castle wanted to get out of West Virginia and move to New York. She was tired of living in a house that had no food, no running water, and was falling apart. Lori believed that she could save enough money for herself so that she could go live in New York. Unfortunately, her father took the money that they earned to move to New York. An unexpected opportunity opened up for Jeannette that would get her sister out of West Virginia (Walls 218). They both got jobs to support the destination they were planning to go. This shows that when a student supports themselves they can accomplish the goals that they have set for themselves, like how Lori and

Resilience is often an indicator of future success as an adult and can help to protect children against emotional and behavioural problems etc

Dave also thrives on embodying the “underdog identity”. Being a twentysomething year old, one is still searching to discover who they are and what their identity is. Dave has had several identities pushed onto him because of his situation such as Toph’s parent, an orphan, and a steady provider all while still maintaining his role as an older brother, but one of the biggest identities is the underdog, the victim rising from the ashes. During his inner dialogue, Dave says: “you like that stance, that underdog stance, because it increases your leverage with other people” (Eggers 119). Him saying this directly acknowledges the fact that he is using his situation to gain moral authority over others, an authority which he believes he is entitled to because of his situation. Dave, no matter where he goes or what he does in life, will always be the victim of a sad event, his parent’s deaths will always be a part of him and his story, but he is using it to define his

Resilience is defined as the quality that allows people to be knocked down and come back stronger than ever. Resilience is demonstrated throughout the novel Defending Jacob by William Landay, and the ancillary texts “If” by Rudyard Kipling, and “The Third and Final Continent” by Jhumpa Lahiri though different literary devices. The similar conflicts of Defending Jacob and “Third and Final Continent” help develop a theme of resilience throughout the stories. Another literary device that helps to show this theme in Defending Jacob and “If” is point of view. Finally, the theme is displayed once more in the novel and “Third and Final Continent” through the use of characterization. The theme of keeping one’s head through troubled times and not giving up is developed through the use of conflict, point of view, and characterization in Defending Jacob, “If”, and “The Third and Final Continent”.

The relationships Dave has formed and diminished throughout the play made him a stronger person and the audience sees his characters grow and
