I am going to tell you about the characterization about my book, my book is called the boy who lost his face. He and his friends are like the popular kids, and he tries to fit in with them, he tries to be cool by listening to them and doing what they say. Once he tripped an old lady on her rocking chair and they spilt lemonade at her, when they left David felt bad by doing it but he knows that if he helps the old lady the popular kids will tease him.
Sometimes David likes to feel guilty, because one time he threw a tennis ball in his moms window and his mom was in the room with her baby, so then David ran to the room and went to his mom and said sorry all the time with his brother but David didn't blame his brother for it, because he felt guilty.
David also sometimes likes to feel worried, like when he tipped over the old lady to steal the cane he was kind of worried that the police will find him and tell his mother, then he'll get in big trouble, and he wanted to saysorry to the old lady for doing that but he was worried that the cops might still be there, and also one time when he threw the tennis ball in the window he was worried that his little baby sister might get hurt by window glass, and he might get worried that his mom might get mad at him.

Daniel, do you think David likes to feel worried and guilty? What the Sachar tell you about David when he writes that David feels guilty and worried?
When David does these bad things, he is not a happy boy. Yes, he worries about his reputation with the cool kids, but he is unsettled in himself. What does this say about him as a person?
Also, the last paragraph seems to say the two examples again. I was unclear about your third example. Having the book with you would have helped, eh Daniel?
