Johnny is an outsider because his traits are quite soft and shy, but he is also thoughtful and put his friends in front of himself. He is caring because he was terrified when Ponyboy ran to him crying after Darry had hit him. He is innocent because when he killed the Soc, he was scared and felt completely sick and regretted it. He is anxious because when Ponyboy and him were hanging out at the drive-in movie, and talking to Cherry Valance, Two-bit had walked behind him and pretended to be Soc; and

Being tasked with such an important job it is necessary to study and put to practice the acting techniques of Stanislavski as well as the techniques brought forward by Grotowski. Claire is an underrated character, one who could easily
How much of who we are comes from our own inner predisposition, or mere interpretation from an outsider? Is someone obliged to become either a hero or villain by virtue of their existence, or are heroes and villains moulded over time from origins that could have taken either path?

By alluding to characters in this way, interpretations can be made to gain unique insights that contribute to the characterization of various personas in the text. It is my belief that the image “Beauty and the Beast” alludes to Daisy and Gatsby. Daisy is intelligent
Holden Caulfield is the main character and narrator of Catcher in the Rye. The story is given after the fact in a stream of consciousness, as Holden is in a rest home. Holden alienates himself to provide a sense of protection from the “real” world he must start living in. He describes adulthood as superficial, hypercritical, and shallow. He believes that he is above the adult world, as all adults are phonies. Holden believes that phoniness is what is wrong in the world and is his excuse for alienating
