She is also portrayed by Fitzgerald as stuck up and that things are all about her. One of the first lines we hear her say is, “I’m p-paralysed with Happiness”. This shows straight away what her character is like, she lives the perfect lifestyle so has no need to be unhappy, but she puts on a false stutter which makes it seem like she is better than she is, furthermore it portrays her as extremely rich and naïve because while she is living in wealth, there are many like Myrtle and Wilson who are living in complete poverty. Then there is Nick Caraway, Nick is the narrator and participant in the novel. Fitzgerald makes him the focal
This subtly hints about how Cher is spoiled and from an exceedingly rich family which Cher is very keen to deny. The characters Frank Churchill and Christian are obvious parallels because Emma and Cher were in love with them. In the end Frank ended up being engaged to Jane Fairfax and Christian was gay. In clueless Josh takes an instant dislike to Christian just like the book Emma. Josh decalares he will go to the party to keep an eye on Cher.
Jess disobeys her parents many times throughout the text to do what she enjoys the most, playing soccer. The director has created unique and humorous characters to compete with jess’s strong desire to do the things she loves. Jess’s mother Mrs Bhamra has the biggest impact on her life. Mrs Bhamra being a traditional Indian parent pushes her conventional expectations onto her daughters who were born into a different cultural world, so she hopes to grow her children in the same Indian culture that she was raised in.

There are four main characters in this book. Carmen is the most thoughtful of the four girls, and she recognizes the importance of their friendship more clearly than the other girls do.

I noticed the author, Elizabeth Strout continually describes Olive’s large size which is a key factor to the novel as well as her boisterous personality. Without Olive the book goes astray because she is the dynamic character connecting the short stories of life and love. To further break down the episodic novels, one must understand the time sense and poetic language. In the opening chapter titled Pharmacy, we are introduced to Henry Kitteridge, Olive’s loving husband. Henry is Olive’s support system as well as her polar opposite, his kindness drives her crazy but at the same time keeps her level headed.
Squeaky is a great runner who practices diligently and points out that she is “the fastest thing on two feet” (21). Throughout the entire story, the narrator is so confident she appears almost arrogant. Squeaky despises fake people and doesn’t understand why girls try to hide their true self. She mentions during a rant how her mother ought to be grateful that Squeaky isn’t the type of girl to try to “act like a fairy or a flower or whatever you’re supposed to be when you should be trying to be yourself” (23). Squeaky picks out flaws in others quite quickly, and accuses them of not living in their true identity.
Andrea lives with it, carry it wherever she goes because she loves it and has a strange commitment to this inanimate object. To her, the bowl is her luck. She loves the vase too much that once she had forgotten it at one of the houses, she felt like she had forgotten one of her friends. The bowl or janus symbolizes her secret affair
Katniss never fully came into her own in Mockingjay. In Hunger Games, she was a floundering yet passionate girl desperate to protect her family and stay alive. While she made a lot of mistakes, we loved her even more for them, because we saw her struggle, we believed her desperation and her motives, and we wanted her to succeed. We saw her near-double-suicide not as the easy way out, but the final spit in the face of the Capitol that had pulled the strings for so long. In Catching Fire, the story was fast-paced and intense, Katniss still struggling but really maturing as a fighter and a person.
However, Bechdel's clean, distinctive illustration style with its wry observations and amusing details is fun to read and examine, and drew this reader into her story quickly. Indeed, it's regrettable that this review can only include quotations and not excerpts of Bechdel's drawings. Several delightful and revealing images are included, such as her grandmother chasing a "piss-ant," her early identification with Wednesday Addams, the summer of the locusts, her teenaged diary entries, and several aspects of her own adolescent self-discoveries. One cannot help but identify with Bechdel. However, despite the pain and struggle Bechdel has had facing her father's life and death, the book is neither morose nor depressing.
She pursue life’s luxuries and pleasures. Being bored of life, she decides that she will get things the way she wants it no matter what it takes and it has been that way since her youth. This creates a dishonest, cynical, and untrustworthy attitude. This is the hidden side of her, her gray eyes. People sees only the gold mask, they still see the golden girl; the golf champion, the life of the party, the socialite.
