Character+Analysis

Character Analysis Ben Aynsley is the main character in “Piggies”, the book I’ve read. It’s Nick Gifford who has written this novel. In this character analysis I’m going to say something about the main character’s look, how he is and what makes him “tick”. But first I have to tell you a little bit about the book so you can understand every thing in this character analysis. Piggies is about a young boy who comes to a new city. In this city there lives vampires, and out in the wood lives the ordinary people like you and me. This ordinary people are called ferals by the author. The ferals call the vampires “beast”, and the vampires call the ferals “piggies”. And that’s why the book is called “Piggies”. Now I’ll start with telling you a bit about Ben. Ben is around 10-12 years old and lives in a town called Kirby. The writer doesn’t say anything about his look, so I don’t know what he looks like. So then I thought I could tell you what I think he looks like. I think Ben is a little, young boy with short, brown hair and brown eyes. I think he is a skinny and short boy who has his own opinion, but cares about what others think about him. He is an average popular kid who has one best friend and some other good friends. Ben is a nice and good boy. The writer describes him as a glad boy who doesn’t have much trouble in his life. He lives happy with his mom and dad in Kirby, and we hear a little bit about his best friend Andy. In the beginning of the book he is scared, but he is brave and makes some good choices. Later in the book he lets some people get in to him, so it shows that he has feelings for other persons too. He is a good friend and cares about others and has to obey them, because when Ben comes to the ferals, he has to change. He can’t have own opinions and has to listen to what everybody else says. This makes the reader well known with the ferals and what they think too. Ben is a smart kid, but sometimes he likes to do illegal things. He is a fast learner and respects other communities. Ben defends him self, even though he doesn’t always have the right answers. When he comes to the ferals, Ben is afraid, but knows that this is the only place he can be safe from the vampires. He gets some new friends right away, but some of the ferals don’t seem to like Ben at all. My main character’s tick is to survive and get back home to his parents in Kirby. When Ben gets caught by the vampires, he acts normal in the beginning, but when he finds out that they are vampires and want to drink his blood, he does everything to escape. In the wood he thinks a lot of his parents and friends. And when two ferals discovers Ben, he gets scared. After a while with the ferals, Ben’s memories from Kirby fade more and more away for each day. But he still only has one thought in his head, which is to get home! Now I’ve told you about Ben and what he is like. So here comes a little summary: Ben lives in a town called Kirby. He is around 10-12 years old and lives with his parents. He is a good boy who learns fast and is loyal to his friends. Ben doesn’t have anything against meeting new people and he likes having new friends. His “tick” is life, and being alive with friends and family. Back to Reading Project
