Hawk vs. Shaft: A Comparison


Hawk is not a believable character. While Parker tries to make Hawk round, he does not succeed. Hawk falls into the stereotype of John Shaft from the movies Shaft (one of my students asked whether Hawk was fashioned after John Shaft). Hawk and Shaft have similar personalities. First, both of them are tough guys from tough backgrounds. Another way that their personalities are similar is that they both work under their own moral code. Physically they resemble each other. They are strong of the same age. In fact, they are both bald. (OK, outline this paragraph. Does it meet the requirements of a well-developed paragraph? Use your rubric to answer this question)
