Character Sketch (Limitless)

One sunny day Eddie is surprised by an unexpected meeting with his old business colleague Carl. Carl offers a deal to start supplying Eddie with NZT if Eddie would be willing to help out Carl and other people when the time came. Eddie smiles and tells Carl he doesn’t need a supply of NZT. Carl then refutes this statement when a fact that he shut down Eddie’s lab that morning. Eddie laughs and smartly says that he off NZT and that he found a way that he doesn’t need it to use that much of his brain. Eddie proves that he is as sharp as ever by noticing small details and that Carl has some kind chest problems. Later that day while he’s on a date with his girlfriend he talks to the waiter in a foreign language.
Eddie showed confidence during his meeting with Carl. He showed that the underdog can gain power and prospective and have control over their lives. Eddies confidence just grew during the meeting with until he was at the point of bluffing or sharing the complete truth.

Character Development (Limitless)

In this movie, I think that the most important moment of character development for Eddie was when he first took the NZT pill. Before he takes the pill he has no control over his life; his girlfriend breaks up with him, his house is mess, and has no motivation for the book he is writing. When he meats up with his ex brother in-law Vern; Eddie is depressed and ready to try anything to make his life better and moving. After he takes the pill Vern gave him he suddenly has control over his life again. He cleans up his house, writes over half his book in one night, and remembers things he barely can recall.


The taking of the NZT pill was the most important moment in Eddie’s character development because it was the forefront to the rest of Eddie’s character development and the movie. He became a completely different person after he took the pills. He was addicted and desperate to get them.

Practice Character Sketch

One windy summer afternoon my brother Mark was laying plastic down for a cement foundation. A gust of wind caught hold of the plastic while my brother was holding on. The wind and plastic carried him ten feet before letting him touch down and to gain control over the plastic again. He laid out all the plastic for the foundation and then continued to work for the rest of the day.

Character Example

In the book Airman by Eoin Colfer the main Character Connor Broekheart reveals that he still cares for and has feelings for the Queen and his family when his blind friend argues with him not to leave the islands a to stay and save his family from the Marshal. This scene shows that Connor is still somewhat the same before he was thorough into prison for seeing the Marshal treachery. It shows that Connor isn’t as rough and hard as he acts.

Character Development

I think the qualities that make characters interesting are humer, a will to move on and the searching for a place in the world. I think that humer is important because it not only entertains the viewer/reader it is a way to relieve tension in the story and make the character likeable. I think that it is hard to find a character interesting unless they have a will to move or just succeed at something. If the character doesn’t have this quality, I find it hard to pay attention to the character that is being displayed and I personally don’t like to read/watch about character that are depressed and don’t have the will to change. I also think that it is important for the character to be searching for their way in the world because everyone can relate to that.

I think that creators do a better job at reviling character bit by bit rather than all at once. When the creator reveals the character bit by bit you can related to the character better because you are learning about the character at the same pace as the character is learning about themselves’. When the creator reviles the character all at once you can only get one opinion of that character and they can suddenly change without warning

Malcolm Gladwell on Spaghetti Sauce

In the speech that Malcolm Gladwell gave that we watched in class there were many different interesting ways that he shared his point with analogies. He made his speech very interesting by using the points and analogies to make it easy to understand and relate to. He explained his points through his analogy of Howard Markowitz’s career and his marketing for the perfect Pepsi. Malcolm explained that Howard realized that people don’t know what they want until they’ve tried it. Malcolm later explains this with an analogy to coffee and how people say their favorite coffee is a certain kind of coffee that they don’t even like. He then went on to say that Howard realized that you can’t make the perfect Pepsi but you can make the perfect Pepsis. Malcolm then explains Howard’s theory with the example of Howard working with spaghetti sauce companies and making a variety of different kinds of sauces to make the perfect sauces that can appease all customers. Over all I thought the speech interesting and enjoyable.

Canadian Poem

As this bold winter begins
we don't always just stay in
but in this grand season
we can all have a chance to discover our reason
as we look around to see this land
and our love for that marching band
we are proud of what we are
even if there are those who are stuck in that tar
but if we fight for what is right
we will be able to see with a diffrent sight
of that love for that land that is all around us
weather, it is cold or hot it gives us a reason to fuss
but with all this around us,
We are Canadian
