Mr. Elmo Norman, my elementary school principal, was the most nervous man I have ever met. He was a short, pudgy man, always ove

r-dressed. In fact, he didn't just wear his clothes--he hid inside them. His uniform consisted of a neatly pressed pin-striped suit, a thin black tie over a starched white shirt, and a pair of brightly polished brown Oxfords. His receding gray hair was always neatly trimmed, and his fat, wrinkled head always darted about like a radar blip on his neck. He paced the school hallways in a perpetual motion of twitching, fidgeting, and twiddling. In the space of a minute, he would wrinkle his little nose, scratch his plump chin, shrug his shoulders, straighten his tie, and glance at his watch, never once looking directly at the person he was with. As he spoke in his lackadaisical drawl, he would glance at the ceiling, inspect his knuckles, and check the floorboards for dust. When the conversation was over, he would dash back into his office like a frightened bunny, probably praying that he could lock himself in there forever. And for all I know, he may still be hiding there in his office today.
b.  Underline OR highlight the words, phrases, or sentences that give clues to Mr. Elmo Norman’s CHARACTER    traits in the paragraph.
c.  What is the POINT OF VIEW that this story is being told from?  
d.  HOW do you KNOW that it is this type of point of view?

Share one character from a story and explain how they shaped or couldn't shape some part of their identity.
KATRIN_1 [288]

A character we can share is Jay Gatsby, who was able to partially shape his identity as a millionaire to the public eye, as further explained below.

<h3>Gatsby's identity</h3>

Jay Gatsby, from the novel "The Great Gatsby," was both able and unable to shape his identity. Originally extremely poor, Gatsby was able to make a lot of money through criminal activities. He also came up with a story about his past, but would not share it with everyone.

The general public knew Gatsby to be a millionaire, attended his parties, etc. So far, he was successful in shaping his identity. But the mystery surrounding his fortune and himself made people suspicious. And, even when he did share his fake story about his past, some things sounded too scripted to be true.

In the end, the truth about him surfaces and he loses the love of his life. For that reason, we can say Gatsby was both able and unable to shape his identity.
