1. 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 is very courageous, intelligent, and willing. He has been brave to keep asking for the things he wants, even when rejected. Billy is intelligent because he shows that he can do things beyond his normal ability... Like when he gets the traps and it gets caught, he isn't running for help, he just does it himself. He is also very willing, because with countless times he pleaded for his mother's and father's approval, he never gave up to get the hounds.

3. Compare and contrast how are you like and different than Billy? Use evidence from the novel to support your answer?

Billy and I are alike because he never gave up, and I never quit or try any less because I know what I can do and I don't want to waste it. Billy never stopped even when it was final. To get what he wanted he saved some money and got it himself. I am different, because when some things cannot be accomplished... I let it be and one if it will, or wen it can I will let it happen that way, not by force.
