-The main character in the story is actually the author herself. She was a black race women which means that she had quite a dark skin.
2. Describe the main character's situation. Where does he/she live? Does he/she live alone or with others?
-What does the main character do for a living, or is he/she dependent on others for support?
She was having a situation of finding one specific job that she put interest on. She lived with her mother and she seemed to firstly was dependent because she doesn't had a job yet.
3. What are some of the chief characteristics (personality traits) of the character? How are these characteristics revealed in the story? How does the main character interact with other characters? Note the degree of complexity of his/her behavior, thought, and feelings; their appearances, their habits, mannerisms, speech, attitudes and values. What is main character's attitude towards his/her life? Is he/she happy or sad, content or discontented? Why?
-One good characteristic of this main character is that she was goal-oriented and also motivated in one specific thing. Working on streetcars is what she plan to do and even though how many better jobs had run to her, she leave them apart and went back to her goal. And because the time period is during when black and white races are quite separated, her interacting between different races used to lead a conflict. She seemed to don't care much how she looks but cares mostly on her values, thoughts, and feelings. And in the story, she seemed to be quite discontented because there were none of her happy feelings.
4. What sort of conflict is the character facing? How is this conflict revealed? Is it resolved? If so, how?
-The conflict is based on her race and the work she was finding. And her race mainly started the conflict because she was applying a job to a white race person. Things started to be resolved all because of her motivation.
5. Is any character a developing character? If so, is his change a large or a small one? Is it a plausible change for him? is he sufficiently motivated? Is the change given sufficient time?
-The main character is suitable to become a developing character because she had a big change in thoughts once she was thinking of applying a job. It was a large change and she was actually sufficiently motivated. The change actually had an enough time because this change could occurs as long as she want.
