The touching novel The Shiralee, authored by D’Arcy Niland, is the story of a rural worker named Macauley, who travels all over Australia by foot and is known as a swaggie. Following difficult circumstances, he unexpectedly finds himself having to raise his child named Buster whilst being a swaggie, which is no life for a child. As Buster becomes a more prominent character, she drives the plot to be more adventurous and heart warming. She follows her father around the outback without complaint and is quite courageous when protecting whom or what she loves. She is a very significant character as she changes Macauley’s perception on life and provides him with a love he has never received. Even though Macauley treats Buster harshly at certain points in the novel, she is resilient and remains loyal to him, which shows her strength and makes people admire her. She is necessary for the novels success because she adds a lot of drama and obstacles to overcome, which urges the reader want to continue on with the story.

Pride can become something that will lead a man to shame and destruction. In The Crucible this happened to one of the main characters, John Proctor, which also is the one of the Tragic Hero in the book. The Crucible is about when some town people in Salem was accused of being witches after four girls were found dancing in the woods. After 200 people were accused of being witches in 1963, 20 people were either hung or crushed by many stones. In the Crucible John Proctor, the tragic hero had a weakness as pride eventually forcing him to face a serious decision and suffering more than he should.

The witch trials in this play were based on actual events that happened in Salem in 1692. Arthur Miller’s 1953 The Crucible is a dramatization of the Salem Witch Trials. His reasoning for writing it was because everyone was hysteric about the Soviet Union and communism trying to make its way over to the United States. It was like a modern day witch hunt. In the play, Abigail Williams and a group of girls get caught in the woods. They were dancing and doing other things that puritan’s looked down upon. The girls were caught by Reverend Parris, and soon after his daughter became ‘ill’. The girls then started saying that witches came to them and told them to do bad things. They sent innocent people to hang. After studying Arthur Miller’s

In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, it takes place in Salem, Massachusetts during colonial America. Throughout the story a group of girls makes accusations a mass of people of practicing witchcraft, one of the worst crimes to commit during that period, and people are being sentenced to hang for denying witchery. In the Crucible there are many lessons that Arthur Miller wants to teach you. To me a lot of the lessons that were taught in this story are important but I feel like one of them is the most important. Arthur Miller demonstrates that one of the lessons implied in the story is people’s character and how it affects those people and others. Examples of character are Giles Corey, John Proctor, Abigail Williams.

In The Crucible, by Arthur Miller was based on the Salem, witch trials when the people of the town where accusing each other of witchcraft and those held for questioning would stand trial had a choice to be valor. In Miller’s portrayal of the ghastly, sickening inquiry of witchcraft many people in the 1690’s were people of the township were maintaining guard for their beliefs; while others of the community of Salem were cowards who took the easy out of the accusations they were on trial. The townspeople of Salem are going through a day people are courageous even in a way others could not be or were never suppose to be. Those characters display their courage in the town at the time of need, John Proctor is a selfless man when only stating

Furthermore, Crake is able to understand Jimmy’s incredible attraction to Oryx from the first time they glimpse her on the HottTotts website. He saves her image, possibly with the intentions of one day finding this girl to use against Jimmy. What Crake understands is Jimmy’s love for Oryx, but what he doesn’t know is that Jimmy will choose in the end to not let him and Oryx re-enter the Paradice Dome. Jimmy accepts that for complete renewal of the human race, not only Crake, but Oryx as well, must die, “for both have sinned against the potential goodness of humanity” and “she is a hinge in Crake’s attempt to re-enter Paradice” (DiMarco 191). Whereas Jimmy had been known to Crake to be one to be fearful and easily controlled, this time he takes a powerful stance against Crake’s plan and proves that Crake

Crake is undoubtedly skilled and has a tendency to criticize matters in a different manner other than the common way. He is appalled by the traits possessed by humans like him, such as mating patterns, scientific knowledge and art. To him, these are evolutionary mistakes that contribute little to the survival of mankind. As a result of these thoughts he aims at changing humanity by eliminating the traits he deems useless or undesirable. His main goal is to make a different kind of breed that is self sufficient with all the desirable traits in humans, plants and animals. His succeeds in creating this breed but his goals are not achieved. First, the Crakers are not self-sufficient. They are entirely dependent on Jimmy for survival tactics. They are only capable of healing themselves and protecting their territory but they cannot sustain their growth and development. Crake’s flawed character can be blamed for these major faults in the Crakers. He never appreciated the beauty of what he never understood such as art, language and history and therefore seeks to eliminate such attributes without thinking of the consequences. Throughout the novel, Crake is presented as a morally deprived being that does not onside what the society thinks about certain behaviors. He is self driven and only acts according to his will. This is evident in his relations with Jimmy in their younger days (they watched morally questionable content online).

The main character, Cress, does a few significant things in this novel. The most significant thing she does is to inform Cinder about Queen Levana’s intentions regarding Earth. The characters motivation behind this that she is Queen Levana’s hacker and she feels responsible for the deaths on Earth.
