James “Sawyer” Ford.  And now we are at last, but definitely not least, Sawyer.  This is another character that I know a lot of people have been waiting on.  To sum up Sawyer in four words: arrogant, stubborn, fearless, and conceited.  He’s arrogant and stubborn in the fact that he’s all about number one.  He doesn’t care about anyone.  He’s the polar opposite of Jack in my opinion, in almost every way.  Think about it, Jack wants to help everyone on the island, and he risks his life to do that, numerous times.  Sawyer is all about saving himself, and does whatever he can to stay ahead, no matter if that means risking other’s lives, killing people, stealing, etc…  Think about when Michael was out in the jungle looking for Walt, and Jin said he was going to help find him.  Now I understand that Sawyer was injured, but he wouldn’t have helped either way, because it put his life in danger.  Sometimes you see Sawyer’s good side shine through, and you can tell that he does have a heart.  He even tried to apologize to Michael, because Michael blamed him for the loss of Walt, but Michael wouldn’t accept the apology. Now that I think about it, he’s similar to Jack in one way, and this is the only way I can think that they’re similar: They both keep their past bottled up.  Heck a lot of people on the island do that though.

You really kind of have to feel sorry for the guy.  I mean think about what happened to his parents.  Think about what his dad did at such a young age.  That leaves a big mark on a person.  Sawyer probably entered the life of crime because of that.  It’s so amazing to me how much our childhood can affect who we are.  I mean don’t get me wrong, I know that’s why we are who we are, but it’s so amazing.  It’s tough to stop and think how people can be different, and some have more or less morals than others.

Sawyer’s a ladies man, because he acts so indifferent towards them, therefore causing attraction.  He’s a really fun character to watch, that’s what I like about him.  I used to hate his guts, I won’t lie; but as the show went on, he started growing on me.  I love it how he has a nickname for everyone, and all the one-liners are awesome.  Part of the reason he has so many issues is because he won’t tell anyone anything.  He keeps everything so secret, and just like I talked about with Jack’s analysis, that can’t be healthy for a person.

What can we learn from Sawyer?  Just like I said above, you have to be more open with people.  It’s the way humans are designed.  We have to share our feelings and thoughts, or we will get major depression issues, among many other things.  Another thing we can learn is be more caring and loving toward people and you will get a lot farther in life.  I think the people on the island would much rather risk their life to save Jack before they would Sawyer, just because of his attitude toward them.
