Character Analysis
The main character is Preston Scott. Three words to describe the main character are hopeful,forgiving, and caring. The character is the motivated by his late mother and his father who is in prison. I like the main character because he seems to be a good person. The relationship between Preston and his mother is okay because he lost contact with her before she passed away.
Theme
The theme in the novel is to forgive and forget. One example that supports the theme is he (Preston) had to forgive his father for murdering his mother. Another example is he forgave his mother for suddenly moving away with telling Preston and his father.
A third example from the book is that he doesn't hold a grug on people. A final example that supports theme is forgot the amount of days his father has been in prison so far, so he can wait till the day comes to reunite again.
