The Destructors
Araby and Eveline
#8.
The boy had a great amount of feelings shown in the last paragraph. He said that he saw him self as a creature driven and derived with vanity. He also explained how his eyes were reacting to his feelings. He said that his eyes were filled with anguish and anger. His feelings have justified because of his uncle let him down. It will be changed because he won’t want to visit it anymore.
#3.
The time when she was at the park was one of the good times that she had in Dublin. She did not mind being in Dublin as much as you would think. She had a family with her and her two children went to school. She gave up her wages (seven shillings). Her brother Harry sent up to their father to try to get money but it didn’t work. She made sure that she got all meals to the children regularly.
#7.
Eveline did not seem like a very sympathetic character because she feels sorry for leaving her father behind and not obeying what her other told her to do even though she truly wants to leave. She cares about her father no matter how mean he is to her. I think she is a victim of circumstances beyond her control. If her family wasn’t different there would be no choice of whether to go or not.

Hunters in the Snow
#3.
There were two characters that were pretty sympathetic. But the more sympathetic character was definitely Frank. The most powerful character was probably Tub. He was very self -confident when he was yelling at Frank and he never let up on what he was doing. The alliance changed significantly throughout the story. In the beginning Frank and Kenny were more of a alliance but towards the end Frank and Tub were very tight.
#7.
The stop at the tavern was a good stop for everybody. Frank got to talk to Tub a lot about his personal life. Kenny was in the back of the car building his self-confidence up by saying “I’m going to the hospital.” That helped him concentrate and not worry about what was going to happen. Frank bought Tub four orders of pancakes with butter and maple syrup. During the time Tub was eating Frank talked about what was happening with his wife and family.
#8.
This is a very appropriate ending to this story. Throughout the entire story there were messing around with each other. That is equal to what the author wrote for the end of this story. It makes a bold statement about the characters in the last sentence. It tells you that these characters like to have fun but can also be serious at the same time. These characters were very funny to read about and make a bold statement about themselves.

The Most Dangerous Game
#3.
Rainsford was not very optimistic about what was going to happen later in the story. He thought that the general was a crazy man and didn’t know what to do. He tried to stay calm throughout the chase but new nothing good could happen. General Zaroff was a scary person to be around. Ranisford was much more characterized than the general. I can’t picture anyone like the general in real life at all.
#4.
Connell added the philosophical discussion because the hot weather was making him soft. Rainsford showed that he was not messing around when he was talking. He was changed towards the end of the story because he went through something only few people go through. Which was risking his life just to stay alive. You become to know him better because he shows his inner self to the world by being very serious with the general.
