  The personality and development of a character is the most important part of the book, as it makes for the plot and affects their decisions later on. There is always a feeling of satisfaction at the end of the book when a character can do something they couldn't at the beginning, be it facing a fear, forgiving someone, or even a subtle change in their personality.   The main character of the book always has some sort of character development, but what interests me, is to see how the side characters have changed, how the people who weren't in the spotlight still had their challenges to face, and what kind of direct effect does this have on the protagonist.   This is why analyzing a side character is always interesting, as you do not have a reliable source to know about them, other than the main character's perspective, which can often be unreliable. To be able to separate the lead character's opinions from the facts about a supporting character always takes ski...

  The beauty of languages, is that there are an immeasurable amount of words in them, each with a different sound, different syllables, and a unique meaning. The fact that we have developed an intricate communication system around the world, through stringing these syllables together and giving them meaning, still baffles me. Which is why, I have made a list of the most eloquent words, there possibly could be, in not just English, but various languages throughout the world. 1.

Sentence:   Her kindness and eunoia made her...

Themes: I think the main themes this proverb highlights are perspective and miscommunication . Perspective: While growing up, I often read comics strips where a hunter would go and slay the lion which was terrorizing a village, and return home to a hero's welcome. In these stories, the lion would be portrayed as an evil, mindless beast, who killed humans for fun, while the hunter was the savior sent straight from the heavens.

The villagers would blindly believe him and celebrate the lion's death. It might sound ridiculous but it reminds me of the many stories I've read where a single, innocent person is cornered and victimized for something which isn...
