Thinking about a main character in your book, answer the following two questions: 1. How can readers interpret the character's human condition (conditions they cannot control), and their human nature (their choices, emotions and reactions) within the story? Please give specific examples from your text. en-us 2019-10-03 15:32:15 UTC 2019-10-22 23:41:38 UTC hello@padlet.com 20margastolt https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/b9p3ni2hd2cr/wish/393595224 A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess 
Alex is the main character and this story is set in a dystopian future where teens are what they call ultra violent what for them in normal because it's what they grew up to to(human nature) like when they broke into a house destroyed the place and took turns rapeing the wife of the home owner. In contrast human condition it took look nice to others which is very prevalent when Alex beat one of his gang members because he got dirty during a fight. ]]> 2019-10-04 14:48:41 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/b9p3ni2hd2cr/wish/393595224 20tamle https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/b9p3ni2hd2cr/wish/393707811 1. in the maze runner readers can interpret a human condition by all the characters in the maze. they didn't decide to be trapped in the maze they had their memory erased and was put in the maze without question.
2. Thomas emotions are widespread like how he was confused, lost, and clueless when he first arrived in the maze, but several days later he let his curiosity get to him when he saw what was inside the maze.]]> 2019-10-04 17:41:46 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/b9p3ni2hd2cr/wish/393707811 LWILLENBRING1 https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/b9p3ni2hd2cr/wish/393745477 In chapters 4-7 of the auto-biography "Lost Boy" by Dave Peltzer, David is put into the foster care system, and eventually put in a home with Lillian and Rudy C. with Larry Jr acting as a brother. 
1.) In the story, David is acting out because of how much he was abused as a child. His human nature is discovered to be troubling as he steals and gets introduced to the wrong crowd at school. One example would be when he stole a toy from the local grocery store to impress is so called "friends" that eventually turn him in. He shoplifts because he just wants to be accepted by someone since his mother never accepted him as a child.]]> 2019-10-04 18:42:00 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/b9p3ni2hd2cr/wish/393745477 20allisrubin https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/b9p3ni2hd2cr/wish/393745934 In the book "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyer, Bella is uncomfortable with Edward but doesn't understand why, but she decides to hang out with him anyway. ]]> 2019-10-04 18:42:46 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/b9p3ni2hd2cr/wish/393745934 https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/b9p3ni2hd2cr/wish/393746050 The story i am reading is called Looking for Alaska. Some of the characters kinda explain why they do what they do but some are still a mystery to me and i am only on page 55. The condition is that they are all at a boarding school with rules. Most of them went there by choice. ]]> 2019-10-04 18:42:55 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/b9p3ni2hd2cr/wish/393746050 20taylobange https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/b9p3ni2hd2cr/wish/393746706 1- Readers can interpret the character's human condition based off of the things they are surrounded by or their parts, etc. An example from the book I am reading, Eventide by Kent Haruf, is that Betty and Luster are very poor and live off of food stamps. They can not control this, but are still working at improving their situation. An example of their human nature is the way they react to the situations that being poor puts them in to. They are not very happy people, and they say rude things to each other and that is human nature.]]> 2019-10-04 18:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/b9p3ni2hd2cr/wish/393746706 20mckengulne https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/b9p3ni2hd2cr/wish/393747019 The book I am reading is Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. Marianne is on the search for love, but in her era, people marry for money and charm. She is running in the ran one night and falls down a hill. A tall, handsome man picks her up and carry's her back to her garden house. She catches feelings for this man, his name is Willoughby.

An example of this is when the main character gets kidnapped, she breaks ger arm and has become weak. Since she is not in the best condition, she makes some choices that could affect the relationship between her kidnapper and herself. ]]> 2019-10-04 18:45:34 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/b9p3ni2hd2cr/wish/393747517 https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/b9p3ni2hd2cr/wish/393747545 1.

The Book doesn't necessarily have a main character, it bounces from a group of characters to another every chapter or so however these groups all share a common trait, they're all fairly oblivious to the events unfolding around them. The main antagonist of the novel is a deadly parasitic disease that feeds off of people and when these characters notice symptoms they fail to act upon them.]]> 2019-10-04 18:46:23 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/b9p3ni2hd2cr/wish/393747976 https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/b9p3ni2hd2cr/wish/393748041 My book doesn’t really have a main character. It switches POVs throughout the story. My book is The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. The human nature of some characters in my books are very different from each other. One of my characters can’t control how unemotional they are. They have no emotion in their face or their attitude. Another character is very fatherly towards a certain person and he can’t help it. ]]> 2019-10-04 18:46:29 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/b9p3ni2hd2cr/wish/393748041 https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/b9p3ni2hd2cr/wish/393748410 Micheal Vey battle of the ampere by richard Paul Evans.

However, I would not say that the people the book focuses most on (Eric and Dylan) are a good example of the human condition. They experienced thoughts and emotions, almost everyone would say are not normal, and terrifying. The students however, experienced normal emotions like fear, panic, or confusion for the situation they were in. Some of the more parental teachers ran towards the danger in hopes of saving more students, not caring about their own safety, which is a big example of the human condition. ]]> 2019-10-04 18:48:56 UTC https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/b9p3ni2hd2cr/wish/393749325 https://padlet.com/MrsKrueger/b9p3ni2hd2cr/wish/393749976 Summer Robinson is a sixteen year old girl who is kidnapped one night while looking for a friend.
