Oh what a character

Prompt: The Alligator River Story

Actions speak louder than words. The things people say and do can tell you what kind of characteristic they have. After reading the Alligator Story, I realized that things like this happen for real. After reading I rated each character and no one in this story was a one. I realized everybody have different characteristic.

There were four characters in this story.

The one that gets two is Gregory. The reason for this rate is because he acted as a man would. Men want to know that their woman would do anything to get to them but they really don't want to know all the details even if they say they do. Even though he showed lack of respect. What did she expect. He was hurt and felt cheated. He felt mad, betrayed, and could not keep his composure. His actions still spoke good of him because he didn't hit her back after she jumped on him.

Ivan was her friend. I rated her a three. To me she really wasn't a friend. When Abigail came to her with her problem she was suppose to be their and give advice. Instead she did nothing. That told a lot about her character. She's laid back, don't get involved, stays to herself, and friendship really don't mean much to her.

Sinbad was the boat man. I rated him a four. He was a bad man but he was acting like a man. My opinion was that he manipulated the situation. The reason why I say this is because her knew how disparate she was. Overall his character is sly, manipulative, sneaky.

Lastly, Abigail's character really is a whopper. I rated her a five for many reasons. She is very impatience. She could not wait a couple of weeks or maybe the weekend to go across the river. She is weak minded because i know I wouldn't have sleep with this man to get over their. I give her a little credit for trying to be truthful but she still was stupid. This is when a good little white lie comes in play. She retaliate and she is violent. When she jumped on him it told that she has a temper. She was naive because she was still there in the morning waiting on the boat, not sure if it is coming back. She has some childish was because she was laughing at him because he didn't hit her back. So overall her character was the worst. You can tell a person you love them but when it comes down to it your actions towards that person decides that.

Character means the complex of mental and ethical traits marking a person or a group. With this been said this story was full of characters. All charcters can't be good but a lot are worst.
