There are two main characters in my book. One of them is the spirit that is telling the story, Billy. The other is the main character who is being followed around by Billy is Eddie. The two characters go through hardship and losses together. They go through the good and the bad. They did almost everything together until the tragic accident that took Bill’s life away and brought him back as a spirit. Billy has been Eddie’s best friend for as long as he can remember. Billy was the one who helped Eddie become more active to help him be more quite. Also Billy was the one who had the idea of putting the electric dog color around Eddie’s leg. One day though when Billy was on a walk by himself he accidentally kicks a piece of sheet rock over himself and ends up killing himself. After this Eddie is the one who ends up finding him. After this Billy decides to stay on earth in his spirit form helping Eddie through the hard times that he has. At first it is hard for Billy to get Eddie to accept that he is real and allow him in his head. Finally by the end of the story Eddie accepts that it is real and they are back as friend.
The other main character in the story is Eddie. Right when everything seems to be getting better in his life it just becomes a whole lot worse. One day when Billy and Eddie are going on their daily energy ride to the hot mud springs and Eddie’s mom tells Eddie he should bring his dad his lunch. When Eddie arrives at the station at which his dad works at he finds his dad dead from an explosion. It was a stupid error that Eddie’s dad had told him never to make at least a thousand times before. After this incident passes over something else happens that makes it ten times worse. He is the one who ends up finding bill dead under the piece of sheet rock. Later on when he returns home he is so stunned from all that has happened that he goes mute. This causes his mom to go to the pastor and ask him to try to get Eddie to talk. The pastor decides that the best way to do this is get him baptized to “scare away the evil sprit” that is haunting him. The only catch to it is he has to give a speech in front of the church explaining why the book should be banned. The only thing is Eddie is for the book and hopes it will stay and not be banned. Eddie feels like he can really connect with the book. When the time finally comes to make his speech he gives a speech on why the book should NOT be banished and then he gets put in a mental therapy home for rambling on to much.

I think that it was funny when they started talking about the dog coller. The two charachter evaluations was just a little too much like the summary though. I wonder if you think this too? Also aren't you not supposed to talk about the main charachters until the book analisis, or at least give their background and only their background?

I also thought it was funny about the dog color. Yes I agree with the qart that the other two did kind of do summeries but I still think they did a god job with what they where supposed to do. But I dissagreee with you saying that we were only supposed to write on the main character. We could we only had to write about our thoughts and feelings on the book on anything we like that was only a idea.
