Clarrisa Fray Hero or Sidekick?


Hero or side kick, Clarissa Fray
She does not fight
Not even once a day
She tags along and tries to help
But always fails

Hero or side kick, Clarrisa Fray
She does not fight
Not even once a day
She gets others hurt
But how? Because she can’t fight
It’s just not right

Hero or side kick, Clarrisa Fray
She does not fight
Not even once a day

In the book City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, there is a girl named Clarrisa or Clary for short. She is always the first person to want to go help someone when they need it. When her brother was captured by a evil demon she was the first person to urge everyone to go. Is she a hero or a sidekick?
     I am asking this question because she may want to go but most of the time her friends are the one that does all the rescuing. For example, when he friend was taken, she was the first to go help but she wasn’t the one that got hurt. Most of the time she walks away with little scratches, but her friends, they have their blood and the demon blood all over them. Is she a hero or a side kick?
     Clarissa Fray is a person of many fears she can’t fight she looks away when trying to kill something, while a hero isn’t supposed to be afraid of anything. They just do what they do and get it over with, saving any one needed to be saved. A side kick however is the one that there to “help” when the hero needs it. So is she a Hero or a sidekick?
     Clarissa Fray is the type of person that in the fight but not in it. For example when she went to go save her brother with her “father” she just stood around as the bad guy and her “father” fight it out till death. As her “father” is about to die she runs over to “help by trying to stop the killing. She is such a sidekick
     Clarissa Fray is such a sidekick.

  1. I think you dive deep into the book in this blog post. You really analyze the character and how she was meant to be seen by the reader. I also like how you state your opinion in the end, not just leaving the reader hanging. But the base question also allows room for discussion, which is great. I agree with you that Clarissa is a sidekick, and I like how your text examples. Nice post!
