After analyzing your main character in a closer manner, you should now be able to compare and contrast that character with the main character from the class read. In an H-chart or in 3 paragraphs compare and contrast these 2 characters. Determine which one you identify the most with and why.
In my book Dragon Keeper by Carole Wilkinson my character and Mr. Ross from our class's book The Wave are totally different. Ross is a teacher, while Ping is a little orphan girl. Ross is a married and knows who his family is, while Ping is not even sure who even gave birth to her let alone who shes related to. Ross has friends well you can say that his students are his friends. Ping herself has many friends ranging from an Emperor, to a dragon, to an old woman, and well to a little rat.
Ross is a grown man caught up in a class experiment that he made. He is a very self-centered husband, but has a very good sense of his wife. Ross knows his age and he acts it, but may not dress his age all the time. He is a very responsible man and he takes his work VERY serious, explaining why he is caught up in the class experiment. He seems to care about his students, and wife but doesn't show it all the time. He can be a loose teacher and let things slide but lately has been straight up strict in class. He is a teacher students are influenced by. Ross is an American, and I picture him as a tall, thin, dark haired, white guy in his mid 20s-mid 30s. On the other side there is Ping, she is a little orphan-girl undetermined of her age. She is so all work and no play. She loves to get things done and done right the first time. She is so selfless and she cares about everybody around her. She loves to help people...so maybe we connect on some level...right?
I personally connect with Ross more then Ping, because he is like me in my mind. He is a reflection to what I might become as I grow toward his age. I feel like I know him better than my own character. Ross is like my cousin in so many ways, 1:my cousin prefers to stay chill and he loves to hang, 2:Ross and my cousin are alike by their attitude, which is they are laid back, but prefer to be active, and they both love working. So there are many other reasons why I connect to Ross than my own character Ping, but those are the main two.
