Commenting on another students profile

I commented on Chwayitisa Nandisa Futshane’s profile, who was interviewed by Brad Janssen, www.takinglifeseriously.blogspot.com.
An ambitious, confident student is the hero. The move to Grahamstown and getting on to the station RMR, are seen as, what folkist Propp, would call villains. This tells me that these were issues that were very important for her to achieve and overcome.
The writer is not hostile, but rather seems to have gotten to know the hero, even letting out that she wants to marry Lewis Hamilton one day- something that probably not many people may know about Chwayitisa. This shows that the writer formed a trust. The writer makes use of some of Propps character functions and these move the profile along, because we are initially introduced to the character, we see what her villains were and at the end we see that she has made an achievement.
