Character Analysis

Author's Note: I wrote thus piece to show that sometimes you just need to stand up for yourself. Please look

at my word choice.

For my character analysis I am doing Stanley Yelnats from the book Holes. In the beginning of the book Stanley is a weak overweight nerd who gets bullied everyday at school and doesn't do anything about it. But then Stanley is accused of stealing a famous baseball players shoes but they really just fell on him, and he must go to either jail or camp Green Lake. He decides to go to camp. When he gets to camp Green Lake he expects to just drag along and go with the flow for 18 months. But then he meets Armpit and X-ray. Armpit and X-ray have been there for a while and they show Stanley that you can’t drag yourself along you have to work for it. Stanley loses weight gains mental and physical strength. When Stanley came home he surprised everyone with how in shape he was and how intelligent he was. Back at school no one wanted to bully him but if they did Stanley could stand up for himself. 

Creative Ending To Thank You Ma'am

Author's Note: I wrote this piece to show that it is nice to thank people especially if they didn't have to do it for you in the first place. Please look at my grammar.

After the boy was given the money he decided he didn't need the shoes. He needed the knowledge that Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones gave him. So he went to the market and bought flowers and chocolate for her. He set it on her doorstep, knocked on the door and ran. He was trying to give her an anonymous present. But Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones was quick on her feet, she got up to the door looked down and saw the flowers and chocolate but no one there. She looked down the street but her vision was blocked by a truck but she could see the running bare feet of the boy.

Overcoming Conflict

Author’s Note: I wrote this because it has a clear conflict and resolution. Please look at my word choice in the piece.

In the book Gender Blender by: Blake Nelson the main characters, Tom and Emma are in an accident together and when they wake up their minds are in each others bodies. They have to live someone else’s life. Later they find that if they stay in the wrong bodies for more than three days it will become permanent.

On the third day they still haven’t found a way to go back to normal. They are at a party and feel hopeless and might not ever get back their bodies. But when they knock into each other at the party they go unconscious and wake back up in the right bodies! Tom and Emma can now live normal lives and be themselves.
