.. Writers develop the personality of their characters through methods of characterization. When using indirect characterization, a writer reveals the characters personality by showing what the character does and by showing what others think and say about the character. What have you learned about the main character(s) so far. Use evidence from the novel to support your answer. The main character has a love for dogs so strong that he saves up money for 2 years to buy 2 coon hound pups. As soon as he gets them they turn out to be a lot of fun but at the same time trouble.

2. Were you surprised that Billy put so much time and energy into saving money for the two dogs? Why or why not? Use evidence from the novel to support your answer. Yes because I probably have just forgot about it the first year. I mean 2 years to save up money is a very long wait for 2 dogs. I would have given up all hope.
