Charecterization


Richard Tulloch has done a really good job on his 3rd book of the series about Brian Hobble who is the main character and the protagonist.
While the opposite is Kelvin Moray, but something about Kelvin stood out to me on the 3rd book on page 163. Kelvin says, "The whole play's a blast isn't it? Thanks for getting me into it." and Brian replies, "Any time Kelvin." So when Kelvin used to be an antagonist he's now a protagonist.

In the book Lancelot Cummins is a really famous author, but I think he has a fear of talking in front of any group of people and yet he's so famous! Brian's favorite author is Lancelot Cummins.

Nathan Lumsdyke ( The class nerd) likes Shakespeare and classical music but his genre has just changed on the top of page 172 when he says " actually, as well as being funny 'Cyberno' actually contains a lot of interesting ideas such as war". So Nathan has completely changed his interests.
The next book is titled "Scary Stuff!" and I think there will be a lot of changes in the characters too!

Brandon, you've identified 2 areas where R. Tulloch has brought characters to life with details. I liked the part where Kelvin has changed from antagonist to protagonist.

Next I had a little trouble separating out your second and third examples. Now I'm thinking the part of L. Cummins is the second, but I'm not seeing the quote where you show his phobia. Then you're on to the third example and accompanying quote.

Brandon, come and see me next week and let's talk about the form of the post and how we can make it look different, more organized. Almost no work, good looking results!

After talking with you and seeing you attempt the changing of the post format, I too am perplexed as to why it is acting the way it is. Still, Brandon, we can work on the form, but what you've written is the most important. It was creative to see the shift in Kelvin's perspective of what is taking place.
