Character Analysis
“Author’s Note:
I wrote this to demonstrate my understanding of
Character Analysis.”
She flew through the water taking a breath every few
strokes, closing the gap between her and the final wall. Will she make it? Can
she win? Do you believe in Susan Carol Anderson? Well in the book Rush for
Gold by John Feinstein you can find out if she will push through with her strength
and courage to take on the 200 m butterfly. Susan Carol Anderson in the
book has amazing courage, strength and
heart.
Susan Carol has outstanding courage and persistence to train
for races, but more importantly to make it to the Olympics. “In the summer I
would crack out 12,000 m a day.” She will push forward even if it means
spending all of her time training and preparing for a chance of a life time: to
win a gold medal. Susan Carol also gives her hardest even when she is
struggling to finish the last leg of the biggest race of her life. “Just about
out of air, she forced herself to stay down for the last three strokes.” As she
pushed herself to her limit she dominated her opponent to qualify for the
Olympic swim team. “Next to her name was the pretties sight… the number 1.”
Susan had finally took first in the 200 m butterfly after taking second in the
100 m butterfly earlier.
In this book Susan has one big heart, caring for everyone
even if she doesn’t like them. She especially cares for her dad, even though he
may be getting persuaded by money she still loves him. “He seems to be losing
it… he said he would never side with agents, but now he does.” She barely got
that out before bursting into tears, because her dad had promised her he would
never side with the agents. Stevie, her best friend, says she has such an
amazing and caring smile that he calls it, “The Smile”. “She gave him The Smile
when she first saw him.” In the end she always has a positive attitude when it
comes to life, always laughing and having fun.
Overall Susan Carol has an amazing heart, has amazing
courage, and has amazing perseverance. She does this because she grew up with
loving and caring parents, which some of that happiness may have rubbed off on
her. Susan will always pull through for you in the end and will keep you
company with “The Smile”.
