Character Analysis
The main character is Brendan. Three words to describe the main character are scared, angry, and emotionless. The character is motivated by getting bullied but he's angry and he is tired of it happening to him and his friends. I like the main character because he don't bother no one and he's tired of the Jocks bullying him.
