Charcters

The main character of my book is Marcus. Marcus is a very normal fourteen year old boy, except the fact that his father is over in Afghanistan serving with the Special Forces. Marcus lives on the base in Canada with his mother and little sister. Marcus is very close to a girl. Her name is Courtney and they are best friends. He kind of has a crush on her but is a little afraid at first to tell her. Marcus is a very nice person and helps out aroung home and at school. For example marcus grabbed courtneys purse and took it to her when she left to go to the office then went home. Marcus is a good student, nowhere near as good as Courtney but he gets by just fine. He helps out a lot at home and took over the role of “man of the house”. Marcus’ family isn’t in the greatest of financial times but they still get by. He is a very happy person for the most part because he does well with what he has and doesn't have every get down on himself or others. He is very excited for his father’s return. He is a little mysterious at times by not showing what his emotions are because i think deep down inside he wants to be like his dad in the special opps. He can also step up and be responsible when it is needed, for example when Courtney’s father was killed he watched over her place well she was out of town. Marcus and his father have a special bond and he looks up to him. He is his hero, even though he was acting a little strange ever since he came back from Afghanistan. Overall he is a great guy and is a really nice person.

Marcus is very friendly and trustworthy for example he never faught with his mother or sister and stayed home and watched his sister while his mom worked instead of going to the school dance. He is also humorous because he isn't affraid to embarass himself to make others laugh, that other being Courtney of course. Marcus is an overall great person but he is espeacially reliable, whenever his mother needed him to stay home and look after his sister Marcus did it without any hassle, he wasn't always the happiest about doing it but he did it to help out. He is very kind. Like when he was staying home with his little sister and she wasn't sleeping well so he stayed up with her and played cards all night to make her feel better. He trys his hardest to always do the best thing at all times or as often as he can. Courtney likes him very much for his great personality and I really enjoyed him as the main character in this story. This is what I personally think about Marcus and thouroughly enjoyed this book.

Another character is Courtney. Courtney is a very mysterious girl and you never know what she is thinking like for example when she and Marcus are riding on the bus and Marcus is trying to get her to smile but she doesn't show emotion and he can't read her. Also Courtney is ver y attractive and smart, she has a very high grad average and Marcus is attracted to her. She is a very loyal and trustworthy person and Marcus trusts her with the world because after all they do have a thing for each other are best friends and enjot all the time they spenmd together with each other. Courtney is always there for Marcus when he needs her, like when Marcus couldn't sleep they met at the part together and talked for a little bit. Courtney is a very kind girl and would never try and hurt anyine intentionally.
