Rocky Balboa
A Character Profile
~Manreet S~
3 Character Traits Shown By Rocky
Solicitous (Caring)
The first scene he showed he was solicitous was when he came home and he was feeding his turtles.Rocky really cares about his turtles, because he told Adrian (the girl that works there) "The last food I got here had more moths than flies -- An' the moths get caught in my turtle's throat -- That makes them cough --". In another scene, Rocky showed he was caring because Rocky shows he cares about his turtles more than himself because Rocky had more food for his turtles than he has for himself. I know he has more food for the turtles than himself because Rocky buys proper food for his turtles but he drinks old beer bottles that he finds in his fridge.
Another Example is that when Rocky was walking home he found a twelve year old girl he seems to know named Marie with a gang smoking and leaning against a wall. He tells her its too late for her to stay out and he walks her home. on the way he gave her advice on how those guys teach her bad things and that if she starts to act like them no one will respect her or take her serious. He quoted " Nobody's ever gonna take ya serious. Ya get no respect... I gotta use a bad word -- Whore. You'll end up maybe becomin' a whore." this sentance kinda tell us that he cares about this 12 year old girl!
