This is a short story CHARACTER ANALYSIS about Olivia (a fictional character) and a portion of her life.
This is a school assignment and I liked how it was starting out, so I decided to share it! Some things won't flow because that is the format we were supposed to be writing in. The main idea of the assignment was to tell about a character. It isn't going to be extremly detailed, like my usual work, so this is new for me. There are going to be very few chapters (from 2-6). Again: this is a SHORT STORY--- A CHARACTER ANALYSIS!!! Enjoy! Olivia Marsden came from a broken up family. Mommy and Dad divorced when Olivia was 7 years old. Olivia didn’t mind too much, Dad had never loved her. Now it was just mommy and her ‘favorite girl, Olivia’. The next months were the happiest in Olivia’s life. Mommy was the only person that loved Olivia, and mommy was the only person who Olivia loved. A few months after the divorce was final, mommy got sick. The doctors said she had cancer. No one offered to help Olivia and her mother during that time. Olivia wasn’t old enough to keep the house and yard in shape, she was only 8 years old, and mommy was usually too sick to get out of bed. Dad didn’t help either. He was a drunkard and didn’t care about them anymore. No neighbors offered to cook meals, or clean for them. They left them alone. Olivia and mommy were on their own. Each week, Olivia watched mommy grow weaker and weaker. When mommy lost her beautiful silky brown hair, they both cried together. But that was the only time she saw mommy cry that whole year. She fought the cancer for a year, then mommy died. Right before mommy died she had told Olivia: “You are a special girl. Know that I always love you. Though I may seem far away, I’m always with you.” After mommy’s funeral, Aunt Lucy moved in to take care of Olivia. Olivia didn’t like Aunt Lucy, she also hadn’t done anything to help mommy, her own sister. Aunt Lucy didn’t care about Olivia either. Olivia would spend nights crying, asking for her mommy back. Aunt Lucy never bothered to hear her. Olivia is an extremely intelligent and clever girl, a genius actually. She loves any subject and is a genius at all of them, most particularly science. She may as well have already graduated from the highest college in the world, she was so smart. The only other person that knew she was so smart was mommy, but now mommy was gone. But mommy didn’t want to tell anyone because she was afraid they would take Olivia away from her. Now that mommy was gone, Olivia didn’t want to show anyone her intelligence either. She was too angry with the world to offer it any good. After the sorrow over mommy being gone, a new feeling arose in Olivia. Hatred. Olivia had never hated anyone or anything before this. It was a new feeling. A welcome feeling. It helped her cope with the loss of mommy. She hated the world for taking mommy away from her. She hated her neighbors for doing nothing for her when they were in desperate need of help. She hated her dad for leaving her and her mother and for not even coming to the funeral. She hated Aunt Lucy for not helping her own sister, and for distancing herself from Olivia, when she needed someone to love her. And she was mad at her mommy for leaving her here alone, for promising her that she would always be with her, and for lying about it. . . Olivia couldn't quite bring herself to say she hated mommy for that, just that she was mad for it.
