The Most Interesting Character In "A Marrage Proposal"

The most interesting character in A Marriage Proposal was Ivan Vassiliyitch Lomov. He was the most interesting because he got so nervous he kept rambling on about these things that were happening to him. And when he was about to propose to Natalia Stepanovna, he kept forgetting that he was about to propose and instead they started arguing.

Short Story or Play?

In my opinion, I find a play more interesting to read because there are so many characters and things going on at once. There is a wide variety of what kinds of plays there are, so there should rarely be a very boring one. Most plays have one main story, and then maybe a side story happening also, which makes it very interesting to read.

Silly/Unimportant Argument

Yes, I've had many silly and/or unimportant argument's with many friends. Usually, it's between my best friend and me. The silliest one though, I think, is when we argued over what we wanted to do. It wasn't a serious argument, we just argued back and forth on what we should do. All that happened was that we ended up doing all the things we wanted to do, so we were both happy.

My Favorite Character

My favorite character is Fang from the Maximum Ride book series. What made him interesting was that he was so quiet, yet when he was mad, intimidating, or needed to be, he was quite fierce and brutal. He could throw one punch and knock you out cold. What also made him interesting is what made him and all his siblings interesting. They all had bird DNA injected into their bodies before they were even born, so they had wings like birds that enabled them to fly just like birds. Fang had so many tricks for flying and landing it was incredible. Fang is a round character. He is very human like, has human feelings, and gets hurt like a human. Although he's alot tougher, heals faster, doesn't get hurt as easy, and has bird wings, he is very much a round character. Fang is also a dynamic character, In the beginning of the series, he's shy and doesn't talk alot. But throughout the series, he opens up more and becomes like a regular obnoxious teenager, not so shy anymore.

Hero's 2

Yes, my opinion about Nathan Petrelli changed because he showed that he actually did care about his brother and not just his campaign. No, my opinion didn't change about Peter Petrelli. I would describe Nathan Petrelli as a dynamic character because he changes from not really caring about Peter and only caring about his campaign, to showing that he actually does care. I would describe Peter Petrelli as a static character, because he really stays the same.

Hero's 1

The character traits of Nathan Petrelli are rude, harsh, uncaring, selfish, self-absorbed, only cares about what happens to him. The character traits of Peter Petrelli are caring, thoughtful, loving, not selfish, always looking out for others before himself. I would describe Nathan Petrelli as a round character because he's like some real-life people. I would also describe Peter Petrelli as a round character because like Nathan, he's also like a real-life person. Nathan's motivations are his campaign and how many votes he gets. Peter's motivation is love for his brother and everyone else.

Gossip

My opinion of gossip is that it can be good, and bad. Gossip can be good because when you gossip, you're caught up on what people are talking about, and what's happening. Gossip can be bad because if someone hears something they're not supposed to, and then they go and blab about it to anyone and everyone, then that could make the person they're gossiping about look really bad and feel very embarrassed if they didn't want anyone to know. Yes, I gossip. Quite a bit too. Lots of times, it's bad, but I gossip to people who I trust won't tell anyone, and I never hear anything about it again so I know they don't tell. I know I probably shouldn't gossip, but I think every human does and it's really just a natural thing to do.

Tester Blog

This is a tester blog. So I'm going to write about what I'm thinking right now. Right now, I'm thinking about how tired I am and that the sun tells me I can go back to sleep. My kitten kept me up all night and kept purring and attacking my hands and feet. This English class is so quiet...It's weird. I'm used to loud classes. But quiets nice too...Sometimes.
