Charatcers: Fat Kid Rules the World
There are many important charracters in the book that I am currently reading, but the main character is Troy Billings. He is a 17 year-old, six-foot-one, 296 pound kid who is described as,"Friendless, utterly miserable, and about to step off the subway platform in front of an oncoming train." I chose to pick Troy because he shows that he is going to be a dynamic character from the very beginnig, and that he is the main character. I believe that as of where I am in the novel right now, that Troy is still a round (no pun intended) character. From my perspective Troy has developed a decent amount, and that he has to continuing to develop to allow the book to still be interesting, and to keep the theme relevant. His interactions with other cahracters, such as his dad, his brother; Dayle, and the other main character; Curt McCrae. Troy's interactions with Curt are extremly important to the developoment of Troy because he encourages Troy to be himself. Also, his interactions with Curt show what kind of person Troy really is, not how other people portray him to be, which is this very overweight and firendless kid, when really he is nice and very socialable.
