Ree Dolly
It is astonishing what anyone can do when it comes to survival or when life is threatened. In those moments, they are somehow able to employ a level of courage, perseverance, and high intention that they never knew they had. The character I chose that fits that description would of course be Ree and the scene that helps portray this, is when she gets beaten up by the women. She went around asking questions she shouldn't have about her father and because of that, her mom and thumps wife, along with the other women beat her up. She knew what she was risking but yet didn't care. The scene at the end where her mom and thumps wife show up and tell Ree that they will take her to her dad's bones also proves that she is brave and doesn't want to give up because she knows she has to be brave for her brother and sister. That scene intertwined with the beating scene and proved Ree's perseverance to find her dad because she went off with the same people that beat her and didn't know where she was going because she knew this is what she would have to risk and she did it. Ree never gave up and didn't care what it was going to cost her because she had to save the house because of her little brother and sister.

I myself used the scene where Ree was taken to her father’s bones by the people that just beat the crap out of her a couple of days prior. It shows a lot of courage and dedication for her to do that. She does that because she knows it would be her only hope to try and save what is hers. Ree was out there putting her life on the line just to be able to save her house because there was no one else out there to do it for them. Lastly it is truly amazing what can come of a person when he/shes family or anything that a certain person cares about is up for stakes or being threatened.
ReplyDeleteYour analysis of Ree is pretty good. I like how you started if off by talking about how much of a survivor she is. You’re right, when humans go into survival mode they will do all sorts of things that they wouldn’t normally do, like allow people to beat the heck out of the them and then turn around and allow them to lead them to something that they desperately need. On that note, I do sort of have to disagree with you on why she went to the bones. Like I said, I feel like it was much more of a survival thing than a bravery thing. But you did support your reasoning so that’s good enough for me!
