Chararcter Analysis
The main character is Gary. Three words to describe the main character are sweet, obedient child, and smart. The character is motivated by his family supporting him. Also his teachers support him along with the school. i like the main character because hes sweet and he has a good life going just that hes having a little rough time in high school but every teen does. The relationship between Gary and Brendan is a goof one because they both have each other but they both want to face their suicide.
Theme
The them of the novel is competition.
one example that supports the theme is that Middle town is a great emphasis on the atheletes in town. They got true football players a wrestlers.
Antoher example is that Gary and Brendan who end up seeking revenge on their peers and tormentors by killing themself
A third example from the book is the status that the athletes hold to make them untouchable when is comes to getting introuble in school.
a final example is that the dividing line is something that all of the students, teachers and administrators notice and acknowlege but nobody does anything about it
