In the short story "A Moment to Remember" there are many inspirational characters. Some of the characters are very similar and can connect in different ways. One of the characters that stand out in the story is Kathy, who enjoys sports and going to ballgames with her father. A few words that describe her would be compassionate, understanding, even supportive. "Feeling alone and being denied opportunities, I mused, is difficult when you are surrounded by peers." Kathy shows compassion and understanding by relating to the baseball player with her own tough situation and feeling sympathy for him. Kathy proves herself to be supportive when she says "Silence the catcalls, silence the bigots, silence the hatred," as the African American player goes up to bat.
