Who+Goes+There+-+The+Thing

Your group needs to find at least 5 quotes from the story that reveal some aspect to your character’s life. Your quote could describe physical appearance, background information, or internal __characteristics__. If you are given 2 characters then make sure you have 5 quotes total between the 2 of them. All quotes will be posted to the Wiki by Wednesday. All quotes need a page number. (See the example I posted under McReady on the Wiki.)
 * Characteristic Quotes**

Trey Alec and Susy Pg. 208 "No by the grace of God, who evidently does hear very well even down here, and the margin of half an hour, we keep our world, and the planets of the system you know and atomic power. Because they came from another sun, a star beyond the stars ,they came from a world with a bluer sun." Pg.263 "The red eyes blazed with an unearthly hatred, an unearthly, unkillable vitality." Pg.261 "The creak of the floor boards behind him didn't interpret his thoughts as he went about his weekly report in an automatic manner, filling in columns of data and making brief, summarizing notes." " The creak of the floorboards sounded nearer." Pg.268 " That creature wasn't dead, It had a sort of enormously slowed existence, an existence that permitted it, none the less, to be vaguely aware of the passing of time, of our coming, after end less years. I had a dream it could imitate things." Josh Name:The Thing Physical Description: Rubbery flesh,red eyes & about 2m tall Personality:The Thing acts like whoever it copies, so if the Thing made a copy of Blair then it would act like Blair.(etc) Internal Conflict: External Conflict:McReady,Norris,Blair,Connent (etc) are all trying to kill the Thing.

Heather: Character Profie __Name__: The Thing

__Physical Characteristics__: Three red eyes; Blue rubbery skin, I perceive it to be slimy and unattractive. __Personality__: Very persevering and persistent; Doesn’t give up very easily “"Your damned beast got loose. I fell asleep about twenty minutes ago, and when I woke up, the thing was gone. Hey, Doc, the hell you say those things can't come to life. Blair's blasted potential life developed a hell of a lot of potential and walked out on us.' Copper stared blankly. "It wasn't - Earthly," he sighed suddenly. "I - I guess Earthly laws don't apply." "Well, it applied for leave of absence and took it. We've got to find it and capture it somehow." Connant swore bitterly, his deep-set black eyes sullen and angry. "It's a wonder the hellish creature didn't eat me in my sleep."

__Internal Conflict__: It is very self centered and doesn’t care about anything else but itself and world conquest. It has social issues and wants to kill people. That is its internal conflict. __External Conflict:__ Everyone hates it and is trying to kill it. It’s being pursued by the crew and also wants to conquer the world. __Motivation:__ It wants to conquer the world so it has motive to kill and “eat” things. Its also sort of a fugitive because everyone is after it.

//The Thing// Physical Characteristics: Personality: Internal Conflict: External Conflict: Motivation: Blair grinned unpleasantly. The wavering halo of thin hair round his bald pate wavered in the stir of air. "Take over the world, I imagine." "Take over the world! Just it, all by itself?" Connant gasped. "Set itself up as a lone dictator?" "No," Blair shook his head. The scalpel he had been fumbling in his bony fingers dropped; he bent to pick it up, so that his face was hidden as he spoke. "It would become the population of the world."
 * Character Profile - Hannah**
 * It's red eyes are mentioned several times; when it was first thawing out, the worm-like hair was mentioned; his 'skin' (or whatever it would be called) is blue.
 * "Three mad, hate-filled eyes blazed up with a living fire, bright as fresh-spilled blood, from a face ringed with a writhing, loathsome nest of worms, blue, mobile worms that crawled where hair should grow//." (chapter two)//
 * The Thing is highly misunderstood. Its appearance is something that on Earth would be considered evil, but the reader never gets to understand what the thing is really thinking. As interpreted by the men, the Thing was evil and unearthly.
 * "And just because it looks unlike men, you don't have to accuse it of being evil, or vicious or something. Maybe that expression on its face is its equivalent to a resignation to fate. White is the color of mourning to the Chinese. If men can have different customs, why can't a so-different race have different understandings of facial expressions?" [Copper is supporting that maybe the Thing isn't as evil and atrocious as the other men conclude.]
 * The Thing's natural instincts are to devour animals/people, which is slightly problematic for the rest of the world, and in turn how the rest of the world views it.
 * When the Thing comes back to life after being frozen for so long, he is surrounded (and outnumbered) by these men who are assuming that it is evil, based solely on its appearance. It tries to find its way, where it encounters a pack of dogs who attempt to tear it apart. The crew at the camp where the Thing is at is going on trying to kill it, by means of electrocution and other brutal ways.
 * According to Blair's harsh assumptions, the Thing plans to eventually populate the world with it's copies of other people/animals, which are really just extensions of the Thing itself. However, the reader can't truly be sure what the Thing is doing, or why. This lack of knowledge about the Thing is almost sufficient enough evidence to wonder whether the Thing really is the antagonist of this story, or whether it is just severely misunderstood amongst all of these assumptions and prejudices.
 * "What was it planning to do?" Barclay looked at the humped tarpaulin.
