I am now almost down with Nicholas Nicleby by Charles Dickens. While I was reading it, I found myself admiring the main character, Nicholas, for his endless determination that leads him through the book. He becomes an actor with his friend Smike, he goes to his sister to protect her from a wretched man, and continues to live life working hard at the things he does.
He will challenge anybody who makes fun of his sister in a ready and willing manner, even if this will later downfall him. I am not so sure I would be so caring to my siblings, even though we fight a lot I still think we love each other. Oftentimes we will scream at the top of our lungs that we hate each other, but later in our years we will appreciate the kindness we gave to each other. There is a quote from the book, "it seemed like yesterday we were playmates, and today we are old people" which means that yo might not respect what your siblings and friends are giving you know, but you will later.
As I read through this book, I synthesize Nicholas, because he has had hard life, with his father dead, and he stills is brave and will go through his life ready and happy. He is happy with the challenges he is given with, he even falls in love with a girl that has been promised to be married, and still he manages to answer his own and others problems. I feel that I would be scared, and unsure of myself, and my even act selfish because I would be looking out for myself. Nicholas is kind and caring, and aware of everyone below him, and above him.
As I come close to finishing this book, I hope Nicholas continues to be a caring and interesting character. I hope he will remember his friends in his time of need, for he did a lot for them and deserves to be treated with great kindness.
