Analyzing the characteristics of characters in a concise literary work - Literature 7
The character 'I' in 'While Closing My Eyes and Opening the Window' by author Nguyen Ngoc Thuan has left profound impressions on me. Through the character 'I', the author conveys many meaningful lessons to the readers.
'I' possesses a sensitive soul and a deep love for nature. Every evening, after coming back from the fields, the boy usually waters the plants with his father. Through practice, even with closed eyes, 'I' can touch the flowers, identify them, and walk without touching anything. 'From inside the house to the garden, I can touch any type of plant and correctly name it,' 'I can walk with closed eyes without touching anything,' 'I still know how far my father is from me just by hearing footsteps.' This ability makes 'I' proud. Thanks to accurately gauging the direction and distance of sounds, the character 'I' helped save Tí from almost drowning in the river.
Not only does 'I' have an intense love for nature, but for everyone around, 'I' always has sincere and earnest feelings. The character 'I' finds Tí's name beautiful and wants to call you because when read aloud, that sound is as melodious as a song. The boy also calls his father's name just to hear the sound, believing in his father's words, 'every name is a wonderful sound. The more intimate someone is, the more wonderful that sound is.' When his father lectured about the meaning of 'gifts,' the boy understood that the garden is an endless gift that his father brought, and his father is the priceless gift that life gave to 'I'.
Through the character 'I,' the author has conveyed messages about the love for nature. The secret that 'I' shares is very special. The boy understands what the garden says even with closed eyes, can hear the sound, and accurately guess whose footsteps are in that garden. He proudly claims to have a 'divine eye' located at the 'nose.' Even when wrapped in a blanket, the boy can still 'stroll' and not get lost in any garden because there are guiding flowers.
The author opts for the first-person narrative, from the perspective of the character 'I', revealing oneself, expressing direct perceptions, thoughts about others, and the vast world around. With a natural, simple yet profound language, the character emerges as a boy with a rich, sensitive, and loving soul.
The character 'I' evokes a sense of sensitivity, richness in the soul, and profound love for nature. 'While Closing My Eyes and Opening the Window' is a gentle story but carries many profound meanings.

2. Analyze the characteristics of the teacher character in 'The First Teacher'.
In the work 'The First Teacher' by Tringido Autematop, Teacher Duy-sen has provoked profound thoughts in me. The author Autematop has used numerous descriptive details to vividly portray the character Duy-sen in a realistic and specific manner.
When he arrived in Antonai's hometown, the teacher was still young. With a compassionate heart and a loving spirit, he established a simple school in the village and encouraged the little ones to go to school. 'Seeing us, he paused for a moment, then smiled warmly, wiping the sweat off his face.' Teacher Duy-sen could see the aspirations for learning in the children. He told them about building a stove, installing a chimney, and joyfully announcing to the students that the school was finished and they could start learning. 'Under our house, there will be plenty of straw spread out, so we can start learning. Do you like to study, will you go to school?' Not only that, when he saw Antonai's situation, the teacher comforted her and praised her name saying, 'Antonai, what a beautiful name, and you must be very obedient, right?' Every action and word of the teacher made the children love and bond with him even more.
Teacher Duy-sen is also a person of perseverance, rich in experience, and dedicated to his students. In the bitterly cold winter, the teacher carried the students across the stream. 'Backs hunched, arms holding, and that's how the teacher took us one by one.' When mocked by the wealthy, the teacher remained optimistic and paid no attention to those derogatory words. 'But Teacher Duy-sen seemed to pay no attention to those mocking words.' On the contrary, the teacher encouraged the children with amusing stories. 'Usually, the teacher comes up with a funny story that makes us burst into laughter, forgetting everything.' It was the teacher who ignited the flame, the longing for education in the souls of these children. The teacher dreamed that Antonai could go to the city for education, giving the girl better learning conditions.
The image of Teacher Duy-sen is depicted through the narration of scholar Antonai - the former student of Teacher Duy-sen. With delicate and vivid language, the author portrayed the character of Teacher Duy-sen as authentic, approachable, a beautiful image in the eyes of the children and the people of Antonai's hometown, the first teacher of passionate and compassionate childhood.
Teacher Duy-sen, with many admirable qualities, has shown us a compassionate and boundless love, a heart that deserves praise and honor. Let us cherish passionate, sincere, approachable teachers who care for students like Teacher Duy-sen.
