Nick And Judy Are Complex Characters

I observed three little boys playing and climbing on a slide. Nick, the little boy in the blue shirt and tan pants was climbing up the slide, using the steps and holding on to the wooden side to help him get to the top. He was grasping a wooden toy in his hands as he was climbing. There was another little boy climbing up the slide pushing a wooden toy as he went up the slide; the third little boy was climbing up the steps. When Nick got to the top of the slide he slid down really fast. The other little boys did not wait; they also slid down the slide. Nick ran from the slide to another area where a child was playing with a tower and cars. He did not talk to the child, but took the car he wanted and began to play with it and the tower. Nick

“ Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages you’ve had.” Nick’s dad said this to him. Ever since that he has never judged anyone. He does eventually you can’t always live life by that quote. Nick is changing over time because things aren’t working out of him the right way and he is always the good guy and gets nothing in return.

Nick starts the story by disclosing to us that he doesn't condemn individuals. He says it is a characteristic passed on to him by his dad. Nick originates from an upper white collar class foundation. His dad used to instruct him to recollect the focal points he had before condemning. 3.

People discriminate because they are insecure of themselves. What this means is that people are not truth to themselves so they have to reform in bullying and discriminating each other. So when Candy or anybody on the farm tries to bully Lennie, it is because he is different from them and he is not the same as anybody else. For Example “Lennie lumbered to his feet and disappeared in the brush. Furthermore this shows my point,“George lay where he was and whistled softly to himself.There were sounds of splashing down the river in direction Lennie had taken. George stopped whistling and listened.“Poor bastard,” he said softly, and then went on whistling again.”(Steinbeck 's 8) George in this quote brings down Lennie, because he is not as smart as him or he is slow compared to other people to George and you can say he is not “normal”. In

This section of the paper will provide and discuss examples of Nick Carraway’s failure to reserve judgment of others upon meaning them. Through exploring Nick’s judgments of others, his personal bias becomes apparent. Throughout The Great Gatsby, Nick ignores his own philosophy and casts judgment upon characters. It could be argued that Nick knows these characters well enough to cast judgment upon them, but in truth, Nick also casts judgment upon minor characters. The introduction of Mr. McCree and George Wilson are two prime examples of Nick not withholding judgments of a minor character upon meeting them. Upon meeting both the characters Mr. McCree and George Wilson, he describes McCree as a “feminine” man and George as “spiritless man” (30, 25). When Nick is narrating about the nature of Jordan Baker, a woman who Nick builds a small relationship with, she states that “she was incurably dishonest. She wasn’t able to endure being at a disadvantage and, given this unwillingness, I suppose she had begun dealing in subterfuges when she was very young in order to keep that cool, insolent smile turned to the world and yet satisfy the demands of her hand, jaunty body” (58). Even if Nick’s depiction of these minor character is accurate, it still provides proof that Nick is not a man who is inclined to withhold all judgment upon a person. Nick does not the reserve judgment of major character either throughout the novel. Up until the end of the novel, Nick has positive judgments of

Nick is shocked and disgusted by the greedy and selfish personalities of all of his friends and even his second cousin, Daisy. We can see many instances of this, a prime one would be when Myrtle Wilson was killed in a tragic car accident. After learning about how Gatsby, Daisy, Tom, and Jordan only were thinking about themselves, Nick was disgusted and had to leave them for a while. “I’d be damned if I’d go in; I’d had enough of all of them for one day, and suddenly that included Jordan too.”(142). Another example of Nick’s disillusionment could be at the end of the novel when he realizes that Tom and Daisy were careless people who cared about nothing but

John Hughes's The Breakfast Club is one of film history’s most iconic and renowned movies and is a cornerstone of 1980’s pop-culture. The Breakfast Club showcases five unique high school students who all unfortunately find themselves imprisoned in an all-day Saturday detention. The students go as following: Claire (a pretty girl), Brian (the nerd), John (the bad boy), Andrew (an athlete), and Allison (the strange, goth girl). These students come from very different backgrounds and social settings which proves to spark many conflicts between them as well as with their supervisor Mr. Vernon. But through this conflict they find similarities between themselves, and after spending nine hours locked up together, they find resolution within themselves and with their new friends. Psychology can explain why this happened as well as what caused other events to occur. This paper will examine four different psychological phenomena: stereotypes, conformity/normative social influence, ingroup versus outgroup/superordinate goals, and the various causes of attraction.

This makes him separate from society as everyone else that appears a decent amount of times in the book is either upper or lower class. Since Nick is middle class he in turn has a separate mindset than others. The rich seem to be focused on little, meaningless issues while the lower class is focused on real world struggles. Nick being the middle class however, we see him think rationally. He is one of the only characters in this book that has a realization about how the poor and rich each are amazingly irrational. This in turn makes Nick, the

People discriminate because they are insecure about themselves. What this idea means is that people are not true to themselves, so they have to reform in bullying and discriminating each other. So when Candy or anybody on the farm tries to bully Lennie, it is because he not the same as a “normal” person in that society and that he is not the same as everybody else in the book. For example “Lennie lumbered to his feet and disappeared into the brush. Furthermore, proving my point, “George lay where he was and whistled softly to himself. There were sounds of splashing down the river in direction Lennie had taken. George stopped whistling and listened.” “Poor bastard,” he said softly, and then went on

Fredrick doesn’t have a family. The only family he has is his grandfather who sends him money to pay off his debts. Later on, he marries Catherine Barkley and stops seeing all the women he used to have sexual affairs with. Nick has a more friendly character than Fredrick. He is the type of person willing to listen while Fredrick is less open minded and has a lower toleration level with other human beings. One example in which Nick’s high toleration level is shown is when he finds out that Gatsby is a big lie. Gatsby had been lying about the houses, his family, friends, College Degree, etc. He tolerated this issue in a very mature way and doesn’t say anything to Gatsby or stops being his friend, instead he tries to talk with him and make him realize the big charade he has talked the whole West and East egg of New York into.

Nick's father does not want to answer his wife’s questions, and when he does, he lies to her. He assumes that she will not understand his reasoning for the argument he just had outside. In addition, his wife's religious demands for him to not lose his temper show that she does not want him to be a stereotypical aggressive and protective male. Also, Christian Science religion does not believe in medicine, which means that she has no respect for her husband’s work. Nick's father decides to go hunting, where he can express his masculinity. When Nick decides to go with him, Nick is also showing an interest in male to male interaction over male to female interaction with his mother. We see Nick at the end of the story, still calling his father “daddy” and wanting to follow him around. If the family would interact more, then it is probable that Nick would be able to develop more psychologically. He is still being treated like a little child, so he is still acting like one.

Judy’s influence on both the story and its characters is felt greatly throughout the book. Ultimately, it was her choices that not only sent the plot of the story into motion but also impacted it to end the way that it did. Firstly, it was her actions that caused the major events in the book. After Judy left Ed for Mr. Shears, Mrs. Shears began coming over to the house more often and eventually, Ed developed feeling for her. However, she did not feel the same way about him and he became so angry that he killed her dog, Wellington. Christopher then found the body and then decided to solve the murder which led to him figuring out the truth about his mothers' affair, getting into an argument with his dad and running away to live with Judy. Secondly,

Ann Frank’s distaste of her mother is an abomination and should not be permitted to continue. It is said that her bias towards her father is simply a phase, and her behavior is disregarded. Because of this, she has no incentive to stop and subsequently increases the magnitude of her hurtful behavior. With each passing day, Mrs. Frank sinks deeper into her depression. Despite this, Ann continues to ignore her with no thought of Mrs. Frank’s mental stability.

In Gone Girl, Gillian Flynn creates a world full of distasteful characters to show how their manipulating behaviour is a result of their dissatisfaction. Each time one of the characters try to lie and manipulate others or even themselves, it reflects on how unhappy they are with their situation thins. And it is because of this that the more dissatisfied you are, the more inclined you are to hurt and try to control your environment. Both of Amy and Nick’s problems with the way they act can be seen as a deeply rooted in their lifestyles growing up.

ell, I didn 't know this one thing about Nick. It turns out, as I look on the disney wikipedia, Judy stated that he was 32. Lets remember that Judy thought of that. I 'm sticking with Nick being about 22, because that is what I see him. Anyway, continue on.-_
