Characters
The main character in Ship Breaker is a teenaged boy named Nailer. He is a round and dynamic character. In the beginning of the book Nailer was weak and hopeless. A quote to prove this is "Bapi laughed. "What? You gonna fight me, boy? Try and pigstick me from behind the way your old man would?" Bapi touched his knife"(Bacigalupi 15). Though as the book progresses Nailer is becoming braver and luckier. A quote to prove this is "You're lucky," Pima's mother said. " you should be dead"(Bacigalupi 37). Nailer interacts a lot with his best friend Pima. Pima is like family to him because his dad is usually never home and when he is he is a drunk. The plot in my book advances as Nailer meets new challenges and faces more and more conflict.

In my book, The Red Pyramid, one of my main characters are also round and dynamic. Like what challenges does Nailer have to face?
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds like one I would like to read because of Nailer weak in the beging then getting stronger. But like what Kyle said, what kind of challenges does he face?
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds really interesting! What kind of things does Nailer do in the story?
