Some readers of The Running Man believe that the story is about how a person's experiences can cause changes in their personalities and/or the way they view others. How does this apply to the character of Joseph?
This applies to Joseph's character because his experiences do change his personality. As he spends more and more time with Tom he learns more about his life and what happened in Vietnam. As Joseph learns about this he starts to spend more and more time with and when Mrs Missop asks him about it and defends Tom. But when Mrs Mossop tells Joseph something about Tom he didn't know, Toms personality changes again. He then gets scared of Tom but in the end everything ends sadly but well.
Emily, you seem to have a good understanding of the novel, which is pleasing to see. Just make sure that you are proof-reading carefully so that your sentence structure and expression are clear. Another thing you could think about is to use personal pronouns instead of the characters' names each time you mention them. Keep up the good work :)
ReplyDeleteHi Emily, you have some great ideas on why joseph's personality changes. I few things you might like to consider.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you miss out words, a good thing you can do is read over it out loud. Also I can see your topic sentence, but your conclusion needs a little work. And the last thing I'll say is, it isgood to put some quotes in to back up your paragraph.
