Choose a character that you particularly liked or disliked from the literary The Swimming Contest by Benjamin Tammuz this semester in a piece of literature. In 3–5 sentences, explain how he or she is characterized in the piece.

Answer 1

I particularly liked the character of Rafi in The Swimming Contest. Rafi is portrayed as a strong and confident swimmer who is determined to win the swimming contest, despite facing tough competition from his opponents. He is also shown to be a loyal friend, as he helps his friend Arnon overcome his fear of swimming in order to participate in the contest. Rafi's determination and kindness make him a likable and admirable character in the story.
