My character struggles with dyslexia. The book mainly takes place at school, so her teachers are able to help her and understand what is going on. Though being at school also means that there are people that make fun of her, she is able to ignore those people and surround herself with friends.
Your character seems to be sad with having dyslexia and having people make fun of you can be rough. I like that she has teachers and friends to help her around. I know I would want to have them there with me.
Terrence Murrill - The setting my character is placed in is unfortunate. He lies to get by in life. His mother and father are dead, and his older brother is working illegally because he is underage. Baseball is the only place where he can play with no worries. He is phenomenal at baseball. Coaches and players on the other teams believe he is older than he says he is. Now, the only thing he genuinely enjoys doing has been taken away from him because he can't show proof that he is how old he says he is. So he is sad most of the time, alone. He tries to be happy and enjoy life with his friends but he cant without baseball.
Emery It seems to me that your main character is living through a very struggle-prone life. I can tell that your he is just trying to keep the personal connection he has to baseball alive, even though the odds are against him. I hope that his situation gets better as the story progresses.
My book is "The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind". The setting is affecting my main character (William) and him and his family are going through a bad hunger stage along with the rest of his village because of a flood in the area, making the crops float away. They are trying to make the best out of what they have but it is very challenging. They are trying to persuade the government to give them food but they are getting ignored and many people are dying from diseases and hunger. Him and his family are also trying to change how they eat by making themselves eat only 5-6 mouthfuls of food and one meal a day ( at night for supper). They are weak and hungry so they are trying to survive.
It is really unfortunate how they have to ration their food. Why is the government ignoring them? And does that village make any goods that they sell with other people for money?
Alyssa Your character seems to have a bad setting. Im thinking the flood may go away hopefully. How is your character not getting a diseases? Are they running out of food? Where are they getting food from?
Emery My character lives in an oppressive and controlling society where she is already a target of discrimination because of her father. So, as she attempts to plan her escape, she is in constant fear of repercussion by her governing forces. The setting that the Communist Government paves not only discourages her attempts, but also drives part of why she and her family are risking their lives.
Camilo Garavito- In my story Karl the main character is Jewish in Germany. That means that he is not able to do many things because of this reason. For example he can not go to certain stores because he is Jewish also he can not go to the boxing club which is where he always is. Also Karl is trying to become a great boxer but he can't because the club does not accept Jews so he had to hide who he is.
Niyani- My character is kind of similiar. She's moved into an area where people are more familiar with her extended family. Due to the fact the her extended family seems to hate her, they spread rumors about her and cause her to become isolated.
