Week 3 RR? - Understanding my character(s)

(Be sure to include quote and page number!!)

You must use at LEAST 2 quotes from the book.Understanding your character is a good way for you to really get into your book and see from another person's perspective. In your response this week, describe your character. Think about and discuss:  -1. your main character's personality    - 2. how they act/behave  - 3. what they look like  - 4. how old they are  - 5 what sort of education do you think that they have  - 6 who their friends and family are    - 7 what their financial (money) situation is  - 8 and what their job is (if they have one).

     I am still reading The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi. My main Character is Charlotte she is a really brave girl. She is really brave because a man said that she was ''as steady of a girl he ever met”this shows she is brave because when the man said this, Charlotte was climbing to the top of the ship were no one has been before pg.120 . Charlotte is a very happy girl she is always smiling at everyone she is nice, cheerful, and she asks a lot of questions. 
     
      I really like her personality she is curious about everything and she knows how to keep her promises .I know this because in pg.11 she said '' I did promise I will give him extra money" she doesn't forget her promises.If she did then they would of beaten the poor man that was asking for the extra money. I would like to have a friend like that. Although  she is a very fancy girl for a girl of 13 years old and I don't like fancy that much,she should also be playing with her friends instead of being locked up in a room on a ship.

    My character is not going to school right now,but she did.I know this because on pg.8 she said "being in a ship beats being in  Barrington school". I think that's like a rich school because her families financial in very good I know this because people call Charlotte "Miss Charlotte" like she is very important pg.7. Also because her parents are wealthy enough to have a boat and because when ever Charlotte orders something she gets it.

     She has never talked about her parents only her dad on pg.1 where his dad said " to keep a notebook to write her adventures in the ship"so she at least does something educational stuff in the trip. She doesn't have a job yet because she is 13 and I know she is 13 because it said it on page. 46.
