Mr.Van Daans Symbol
I think the Honey Badger represents Mr. Van Daan very well. Mr. Van Daan is a really rude guy, like the Honey Badger, always trying to fight others, and biting off more than he can chew. Honey badgers often do the same thing, attacking anything for any reason. In the story Mr. Van Daan says “Will you shut up?” to his son, this is probably the rudest thing he’s ever said.
