Sample of Character Analysis
CHARACTER
ANALYSIS
I chose Allison
“Allie” Hamilton and Tilo to
analyze their characters from the novel “The Notebook” by Nicholas Sparks and “The
Mistress of Spices” by Chitra
Banerjee Divakaruni. Allie has a sweet yet vulnerable
personality but she conquers all just to be happy and be together with the love
of her life. She symbolized the development of real love from a potential
summer fling through a tough decision to a career-creating relationship that
yields children who are the product of that committed love. Her relationship
with Noah reveals the essence of true love where one is able to develop one's
own talents, skills, and abilities. Allie is able to develop as an artist, and
a better character, because of Noah's love for her. Yet, she is not dependent
solely on Noah, for she makes important decisions she chooses to seek him out,
she chooses him over Lon, and she chooses to write an emotional, an insightful
letter to Noah in order help him deal with her illness. The end of their love
story is tragically altered by Allie’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis, but even that has
no power over their love. While Tilo,
a young woman born in another time, in a faraway place, who is trained in the
ancient art of spices and ordained as a mistress charged with special
powers. She has the ability of foreseeing the future. Her parents were
killed and she was kidnapped by the bandits but escapes and is raised by the
First Mother in a sort of traditional cult of spices. She becomes the Mistress
of Spices and is sent to the Spice Bazaar in San Francisco.
Allie
is a protagonist in the novel since she is the partner of Noah. They are very
much in love, but nearly lose each other because of societal influences. They
ultimately find the courage and the strength to be with each other. I include Anne, “Allie’s mother” as the
antagonist. Although she works to keep Noah and Allie apart, she cannot be
considered a villain because she is the way why those letters reveal to Allie.
Anne represents the difficulties that many parents have when trying to steer
their children to adulthood. She attempts to atone for earlier mistakes, first
by preparing Allie for Lon's impending visit, then by offering her support
without being pushy. I can also consider Anne as catalyst because by giving the
letters to Allie the situation changed. Eventually she encourages Allie to
follow her heart.
On the other hand, Tilo is a protagonist in the novel “The Mistress of Spices”. She become
as the mistress of spices and helps her costumers to satisfy their needs and
desires, such as protecting against from the evil eye. She gives everything she
can, through the help of spices.
Allie,
the daughter of an affluent parents, she comes from privilege and has been
tutored to prepare her for an Ivy League University. Allie Nelson, twenty-nine, has a main weakness in her family. She
is being controlled by her parents. She got flaws that really made her suffered
in a long time. And that is, engaged to another man, but as time passes by she realizes
that the original passion she felt from Noah has not dimmed with the passage of
time. Still, the obstacles that once ended their previous relationship remain,
and gulf between their worlds is too vast to ignore. With her impending
marriage only weeks away, Allie is
forced to confront her hopes and dreams for the future, a future that only she
can shape.
On
the other side, Tilo is a young woman
who has the ability of foreseeing the future. She has a weakness in love. Why in
love? Because as she met Doug, an American and an architect, her life takes a turn on that
moment. She feels romantic attraction. Her life changes when Doug touches her
and begins to fall in love to each other. But because of that, she begins
breaking the rules. She got flaws in that matter which makes her costumers complain
about the bad things happen to their family.
Allie’s
core goal is to be an artist and to be with her one and only love Noah. But her
parents are against with their relationship. When Allie is being apart from
Noah and found another love from Lon, she always thinks Noah and remembers how
sweet their love was. Her parents love Lon because he is a young lawyer who is
handsome, sophisticated, charming and comes from old Southern money. Eventually,
she sacrificed Lon just to be with Noah. She is confused but willing to fight
her love for him even though her marriage with Lon will be complicated.
While Tilo’s core goal is to help her Indian brothers and sisters from
any circumstances that may come anytime. Even those strangers who are badly
need a help like Doug. At the very first time, she sacrificed her own desire
for the spices. She is willing to give herself to the spices but fortunately the
spices are good enough to understand the desire of Tilo that they cannot give. The
spices give way for Tilo without taking back the ability of foreseeing the
future.
Being apart from Noah and her mother’s
opposition, she continues to study and doing many things to forget Noah because
she thinks that he doesn’t care or even writing letter to her. Allie becomes a volunteer in a hospital
for wounded soldiers, where she meets an officer named Lon. Nobody reminds her
that she likes to paint or she is an artist. Allie remains humble and happy
despite her heart is aching and the back of her mind she still loves Noah. She
gets along well with her mother and father; she has many friends and living in
the high class family. She got that kind of job though she is capable of doing
pleasurable thing towards herself since she is a daughter of rich family. While
Tilo get pressured when she noticed the
consecutive flaws of her spices. A lot of complain, murmur and mock she
encountered from her costumers but she still continue serving them even though she
has in her heart that is so hard to give up.
The
symbolism and motifs in the novels (“The
Notebook” and “The Mistress of Spices”) are: The letters are a recording of their feelings for one another,
memories together, and their time apart. The letters symbolize their true love
for each other in the past and the present. They will forget how much they love
each other because it is recorded on paper. The letters being kept represent
them never throwing their relationship away. The
Nature, which I believe that
through this quote Noah had thought about the days and nights that Noah and Allie had spent together, just surviving
and loving each other in nature with no technology needed. Noah remains to live
without this, and probably continues to wonder what Allie is doing, and if she has changed. Swans are birds that mate for life and once they have a partner
they will never leave their side. Noah and Allie are like this in that they
fell and love and both of them know that they never really stopped loving on
another. When the birds are forced to move away, they are bothered, this is
also like Noah and Allie's relationship because they are forced to move away
from each other because of social status, but never lost love. The spices, which symbolizes the real
and pure love of Tilo and Doug. They found
love in a romantic situation because of the spices. They found the real love
which comprises a lot of unexpected things which both of them have shared in
the end. It puts up the confident and sweetness of love which reveals whenever
you once triggered. Like Tilo, she is
beautiful creature that sleeps in a long time and the trails that widely awake
her was the presence of Doug.
The Notebook
happened in 1940’s, that people differentiate the rich and the poor. The women
must follow their parent’s command and aspiration. Men almost have no choice
and enlist to fight in World War II. If a rich young woman will fall in love to
the poor young man, the woman’s parents will definitely hinder their love. Men
know how to build houses by their hands and content of what they have. Compare
to the people in the 21st century, we have freedom to choose our
love and things to do in our lives. Many technologies could acquire the needs
and wants of the people. There are new laws to defend people’s rights. Unlike
to The Mistress of Spices (2005), it
happened in the present. Perhaps, the novel is much more precise and modernizes
in the way it presents its content. Tilo
and Doug meet just once but there is already sparks both of them. They haven’t
involved their parents unlike to The Notebook. They just allow destiny interfere
their future and owned their desires. It portrays the modernize image of love
and expectation to it. It is eligible to show up the reality of love today. It is
prevalent to say love at first sight like in the novel.
Despite
of Noah and Allie’s struggles they
are still together. Allie doesn’t indecisive
in following her heart because she knows that’s her happiness-to be Noah. She leaves
Lon and makes a choice that would last forever. She won’t remember anything. Allie
forgot everything that makes her relapse and panic. Fortunately, Allie got into
herself and able to converse Noah about their feeling towards each other. Eventually,
after a moment of time they died with ecstasy in their both hearts because
before they lose their breath there still sparks in both hearts and able to fascinate
the world of love. “Allie questions
Noah about what will happen to them when she won't be able to remember anything
anymore, and he reassures her that he will never leave her. She asks him if he
thinks their love for each other is strong enough to "take them away
together"; he replies that he thinks their love could do anything”.
At the side of Tilo, she fulfills her own desire by the allowance of spices to be
with her love and only love Doug. She tries to follow what is right for the
spices but they (the spices) are looking forward to the pleasure of Tilo. Her feeling is like a blast. Blow up
the feeling of solitude and get up from the coffin of loneliness and prepared
the life that is really for her.
(I)Allie
is very fortunate of having Noah in her life. Noah is the prototype of what
women desire in a man. He has these characteristics to win Allie’s heart and
men should have these: 1.) Men who are willing to makes fools of themselves to
show how much they want to be with you. The power of the public grand gesture. 2.)
Men who do the loving thing even when it hurts. Noah wrote Allie for a year
without a response. This shows us that your hopes aren't easily shattered, and
even after it all, you are not bitter. 3.) Men who esteem themselves not
because of worldly accomplishments but in the accomplishment of loving another
deeply. 4.) Men who would tell the truth, risk hurting your (girls) feelings,
and fight with rather than withdraw and brush issues under the rug to preserve
peace. 5.) Men who are realists. They believe that it will take work and that
it will be hard. Love is work; it isn't leisure. They don't buy into an easy,
pain-free "happily ever after." It shows us that you are in it with
earthly expectations and that you are not just in love with the high of being
in love. It shows us that you are willing to work at love and that hard times
will not make you hardened. And lastly, 6.) Men who really want “till deaths do
us part”. Forever isn't scary; commitment isn't scary. We want to believe that
it is natural to want forever, to want commitment because it's with us.
No
matter how independent and self-sufficient we are, it is still nice to be
looked after and to be loved unconditionally. It provides a sense of security,
similar to that of when we were young and our parents looked after us. In the
film, Noah loves Allie at her best and at her worst and he stands by her no
matter what. The film literally takes the traditional marriage vows and has
Noah live by example with them 'in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health,
for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer'. To see that he has stood by her
like this makes women melt at the knees. However, it is important to remember
that the film leaves out a good portion of their lives together, to which, who
knows what happened between them.
I
learned from Tilo how passionate and
loyal she was (to the spices). Since the novel has a slight part of cult but
still I admired Tilo. I want to be
like her, whatever circumstances will try to hinder there still the faith and
loyalty to my God. Nothing will change and ready to offer myself just to please
the Mighty One. No matter how hard it is but all you can do is to accept and
stick on it. Like what the spices did, they gave Tilo what is really for her. So, God won’t hesitant in giving our
desire if we just serious and have faith on it to achieve and to be given by
Him. Also God will give if we have good desire.
The
both novels have changed my opinion because I do believe now that Love conquers
all. Although this idea is sometimes overworked, in this particular work, it is
the most prevalent theme of all. The only thing that I didn’t like from the
story was why people or parents hinder their offspring’s love
and why there is hinder if in the end you still be the winner or in the end you
still have what you wanted.

Subject-Verb Agreement
Basic Principle: Singular subjects need singular verbs; plural
subjects need plural verbs. My brother is
a nutritionist. My sisters are
mathematicians.
See the section on Plurals
for additional help with subject-verb agreement.
The
indefinite pronouns anyone, everyone, someone, no one, nobody are
always singular and, therefore, require singular verbs.
- Everyone has done his or her homework.
- Somebody has left her purse.
Some indefinite pronouns — such as all, some —
are singular or plural depending on what they're referring to. (Is the
thing referred to countable or not?) Be careful choosing a verb to
accompany such pronouns.
- Some of the beads are missing.
- Some of the water is gone.
On the other hand, there is one indefinite pronoun, none,
that can be either singular or plural; it often doesn't matter whether
you use a singular or a plural verb — unless something else in the
sentence determines its number. (Writers generally think of none
as meaning not any and will choose a plural verb, as in "None of
the engines are working," but when something else makes us regard none
as meaning not one, we want a singular verb, as in "None of the
food is fresh.")
- None of you claims responsibility for this incident?
- None of you claim responsibility for this incident?
- None of the students have done their homework. (In this last example, the word their precludes the use of the singular verb.
Some
indefinite pronouns are particularly troublesome Everyone and everybody
(listed above, also) certainly feel like more than one person
and, therefore, students are sometimes tempted to use a plural verb with
them. They are always singular, though. Each is often followed
by a prepositional phrase ending in a plural word (Each of the cars),
thus confusing the verb choice. Each, too, is always singular and
requires a singular verb.
-
Everyone has finished his or her
homework.
You would always say, "Everybody is here."
This means that the word is singular and nothing will change that.
- Each of the students is
responsible for doing his or her work in the library.
Don't let the word "students" confuse you; the
subject is each and each is always singular — Each is
responsible.
Phrases
such as together with, as well as, and along with are not
the same as and. The phrase introduced by as well as or along
with will modify the earlier word (mayor in this case), but
it does not compound the subjects (as the word and would
do).
- The mayor as well as his brothers is going to prison.
- The mayor and his brothers are going to jail.
The
pronouns neither and either are singular and require
singular verbs even though they seem to be referring, in a sense, to two
things.
- Neither of the two traffic lights is working.
- Which shirt do you
want for Christmas?
Either is fine with me.
In informal writing, neither and either
sometimes take a plural verb when these pronouns are followed by a
prepositional phrase beginning with of. This is particularly
true of interrogative constructions: "Have either of you two
clowns read the assignment?" "Are either of you taking this
seriously?" Burchfield calls this "a clash between notional and actual
agreement."*
The
conjunction or does not conjoin (as and does): when nor
or or is used the subject closer to the verb determines the
number of the verb. Whether the subject comes before or after the verb
doesn't matter; the proximity determines the number.
- Either my father or my brothers are going to sell the house.
- Neither my brothers nor my father is going to sell the house.
- Are either my brothers or my father responsible?
- Is either my father or my brothers responsible?
Because a sentence like "Neither my brothers nor my
father is going to sell the house" sounds peculiar, it is
probably a good idea to put the plural subject closer to the verb
whenever that is possible.
The
words there and here are never subjects.
- There are two reasons [plural subject] for this.
- There is no reason for this.
- Here are two apples.
With these constructions (called expletive
constructions), the subject follows the verb but still determines the
number of the verb.
Verbs
in the present tense for third-person, singular subjects (he, she,
it and anything those words can stand for) have s-endings.
Other verbs do not add s-endings.
- He loves and she loves and they love_ and . . . .
Sometimes
modifiers will get betwen a subject and its verb, but these modifiers
must not confuse the agreement between the subject and its verb.
-
The mayor, who has been convicted
along with his four brothers on four counts of various crimes but who
also seems, like a cat, to have several political lives, is finally going to jail.
Sometimes
nouns take weird forms and can fool us into thinking they're plural
when they're really singular and vice-versa. Consult the section on the
Plural
Forms of Nouns and the section on Collective
Nouns for additional help. Words such as glasses, pants,
pliers, and scissors are regarded as plural (and require plural verbs)
unless they're preceded the phrase pair of (in which case the
word pair becomes the subject).
- My glasses were on the bed.
- My pants were torn.
- A pair of plaid trousers is in the closet.
Some
words end in -s and appear to be plural but are really singular
and require singular verbs.
- The news from the front is bad.
- Measles is a dangerous disease for pregnant women.
On the other hand, some words ending in -s
refer to a single thing but are nonetheless plural and require a plural
verb.
- My assets were wiped out in the depression.
- The average worker's earnings have gone up dramatically.
- Our thanks go to the workers who supported the union.
The names of sports teams that do not end in "s"
will take a plural verb: the Miami Heat have been looking … , The Connecticut Sun are hoping that new talent … .
See the section on plurals
for help with this problem.
Fractional
expressions such as half of, a part of, a percentage of, a majority
of are sometimes singular and sometimes plural, depending on the
meaning. (The same is true, of course, when all, any, more, most
and some act as subjects.) Sums and products of mathematical
processes are expressed as singular and require singular verbs. The
expression "more than one" (oddly enough) takes a singular verb: "More
than one student has tried this."
- Some of the voters are still angry.
- A large percentage of the older population is voting against her.
- Two-fifths of the troops were lost in the battle.
- Two-fifths of the vineyard was destroyed by fire.
- Forty percent of the students are in favor of changing the policy.
- Forty percent of the student body is in favor of changing the policy.
- Two and two is four.
- Four times four divided by two is eight.
If
your sentence compounds a positive and a negative subject and one is
plural, the other singular, the verb should agree with the positive
subject.
- The department members but not the chair have decided not to teach on Valentine's Day.
- It is not the faculty members but the president who decides this issue.
- It was the speaker, not his ideas, that has provoked the students to riot.

Multiple Intelligences and Learning Styles
These are some pictures that appropriate to use if u used some styles in learning.
These are the pictures I've chosen to represent the eight multiple intelligences ..SUPAK KA?!!!!!!! hahaha..... :P
SEVEN LEARNING STYLES :P
The Seven Learning Styles
- Visual (spatial):You prefer using pictures, images, and spatial understanding.
- Aural (auditory-musical): You prefer using sound and music.
- Verbal (linguistic): You prefer using words, both in speech and writing.
- Physical (kinesthetic): You prefer using your body, hands and sense of touch.
- Logical (mathematical): You prefer using logic, reasoning and systems.
- Social (interpersonal): You prefer to learn in groups or with other people.
- Solitary (intrapersonal): You prefer to work alone and use self-study.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you use the visual style, you prefer using images, pictures, colors, and maps to organize information and communicate with others. You can easily visualize objects, plans and outcomes in your mind's eye. You also have a good spatial sense, which gives you a good sense of direction. You can easily find your way around using maps, and you rarely get lost. When you walk out of an elevator, you instinctively know which way to turn.
The whiteboard is a best friend (or would be if you had access to one). You love drawing, scribbling and doodling, especially with colors. You typically have a good dress sense and color balance (although not always!).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you use the aural style, you like to work with sound and music. You have a good sense of pitch and rhythm. You typically can sing, play a musical instrument, or identify the sounds of different instruments. Certain music invokes strong emotions. You notice the music playing in the background of movies, TV shows and other media. You often find yourself humming or tapping a song or jingle, or a theme or jingle pops into your head without prompting.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The verbal style involves both the written and spoken word. If you use this style, you find it easy to express yourself, both in writing and verbally. You love reading and writing. You like playing on the meaning or sound of words, such as in tongue twisters, rhymes, limericks and the like. You know the meaning of many words, and regularly make an effort to find the meaning of new words. You use these words, as well as phrases you have picked up recently, when talking to others.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the physical style is more like you, it's likely that you use your body and sense of touch to learn about the world around you. It's likely you like sports and exercise, and other physical activities such as gardening or woodworking. You like to think out issues, ideas and problems while you exercise. You would rather go for a run or walk if something is bothering you, rather than sitting at home.
You are more sensitive to the physical world around you. You notice and appreciate textures, for example in clothes or furniture. You like 'getting your hands dirty,' or making models, or working out jigsaws.
You typically use larger hand gestures and other body language to communicate. You probably don't mind getting up and dancing either, at least when the time is right. You either love the physical action of theme park rides, or they upset your inner body sense too much and so you avoid them altogether.
When you are learning a new skill or topic, you would prefer to 'jump in' and play with the physical parts as soon as possible. You would prefer to pull an engine apart and put it back together, rather than reading or looking at diagrams about how it works.
The thought of sitting in a lecture listening to someone else talk is repulsive. In those circumstances, you fidget or can't sit still for long. You want to get up and move around.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you use the logical style, you like using your brain for logical and mathematical reasoning. You can recognize patterns easily, as well as connections between seemingly meaningless content. This also leads you to classify and group information to help you learn or understand it.
You work well with numbers and you can perform complex calculations. You remember the basics of trigonometry and algebra, and you can do moderately complex calculations in your head.
You typically work through problems and issues in a systematic way, and you like to create procedures for future use. You are happy setting numerical targets and budgets, and you track your progress towards these. You like creating agendas, itineraries, and to-do lists, and you typically number and rank them before putting them into action.
Your scientific approach to thinking means you often support your points with logical examples or statistics. You pick up logic flaws in other peoples words, writing or actions, and you may point these out to people (not always to everyone's amusement).
You like working out strategies and using simulation. You may like games such as brainteasers, backgammon, and chess. You may also like PC games such as Dune II, Starcraft, Age of Empires, Sid Meier games and others.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have a strong social style, you communicate well with people, both verbally and non-verbally. People listen to you or come to you for advice, and you are sensitive to their motivations, feelings or moods. You listen well and understand other's views. You may enjoy mentoring or counseling others.
You typically prefer learning in groups or classes, or you like to spend much one-on-one time with a teacher or an instructor. You heighten your learning by bouncing your thoughts off other people and listening to how they respond. You prefer to work through issues, ideas and problems with a group. You thoroughly enjoy working with a 'clicking' or synergistic group of people.
You prefer to stay around after class and talk with others. You prefer social activities, rather than doing your own thing. You typically like games that involve other people, such as card games and board games. The same applies to team sports such as football or soccer, basketball, baseball, volleyball, baseball and hockey.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have a solitary style, you are more private, introspective and independent. You can concentrate well, focusing your thoughts and feelings on your current topic. You are aware of your own thinking, and you may analyze the different ways you think and feel.
You spend time on self-analysis, and often reflect on past events and the way you approached them. You take time to ponder and assess your own accomplishments or challenges. You may keep a journal, diary or personal log to record your personal thoughts and events.
You like to spend time alone. You may have a personal hobby. You prefer traveling or holidaying in remote or places, away from crowds.
You feel that you know yourself. You think independently, and you know your mind. You may have attended self-development workshops, read self-help books or used other methods to develop a deeper understanding of yourself.
You prefer to work on problems by retreating to somewhere quiet and working through possible solutions. You may sometimes spend too much time trying to solve a problem that you could more easily solve by talking to someone.
You like to make plans and set goals. You know your direction in life and work. You prefer to work for yourself, or have thought a lot about it. If you don't know your current direction in life, you feel a deep sense of dissatisfaction.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sometimes, plagiarism is helpful but it's bad 'coz u have no originality..bowww!!! haha

new iphone
Apple has finally ended speculation about the unveiling of its
much-anticipated new iPhone model, sending out invites yesterday for an
event on 4 October taking place at its HQ in Cupertino, California.
However, while Apple’s invitation offered an opportunity to “talk
iPhone” it did not explicitly mention the new iPhone 5.
Apple may not unveil a new model, but several new versions of the current one (iPhone 4), possibly one designed for the Chinese market or a new low-cost version. On the hardware side, the new iphone is expected to feature incremental upgrades in processing power, camera quality and very possibility a slightly larger screen size.
It will run surely be running Apple’s new iOS5 software, which includes new cloud and messaging features. I reckon shipping will begin within a few weeks after the announcement.

"Hello? Is somebody out there? Are you hurt?" Taylor called out. But she got no response. So she tried again. "Hello? look, you can come out, I promise, I wont hurt you." The crying didn't stop, it just got louder, and Taylor began to feel afraid, as many times as she had walked through these woods, she had never heard any crying before.
Maybe I'm hearing things, Taylor thought. Eventually, the crying stopped and Taylor relaxed a little. She kept walking, but she didn't remember these woods being so deep, and the further she went, the darker they got. She didn't recognize this part of the woods. And it shouldn't be this dark at 1:45 in the afternoon.
Taylor decided to turn back around and go home, but when she did, nothing was the same. The trees seemed more gnarled and scary than before. Their leaves were all dead, and the woods themselves seemed more menacing. Taylor was completely terrified, she tried her cell phone but it had no service. And now, the crying had started back up, louder and closer than ever before. Taylor began to run, but even as she neared home, the woods got deeper and darker. This time, she tried screaming, surely someone would hear her. Taylor waited for 20 minutes but no one came for her.
She finally saw a light at the end of the woods. She ran towards it, only to find a graveyard with candles light everywhere. She finally realized why she couldn't find her way out of the woods, on a marble headstone read; Taylor Martin June 11, 1993- October 21, 2013.

LIFE
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and
the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to
find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a
healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know
that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is
to have succeeded.”
i love it:)
