Other Characters vs. Megan

I felt like every character in this book should be considered a major character,  because without them August's life would not be the same.

 

Each of the characters that helped August whenever he got into the fight with the few seventh graders may not have been the most important characters in the story, but at that point in time they were.  They were there to help August, even though August believed that they were always against him.

 

The teachers and the Principal of the school played an important part in August's life, too.  If Mr. Tushman would not have called the three kids up to meet August, then how would they have reacted when they first met him?  How would Julian treat August?  Would Jack and August even be friends?

 

Characters are an important part in a story, even if they major ones.

 

I feel as if they characters were so easy to relate to in this story because of the way that R.J. Palacio designed them.  The characters were all set up to be just like people we have encountered before.

 

The characters of this story are the reasons why I loved it so much.  The story seemed so real, as if someone I knew was explaining their fifth grade year to me.
