In “Freddie in the Shade” on page 22 it said, “Freddie lifted it out of its white paper cradle and bit into the sweet goodness” (Ryan). When Freddie was at the bakery he was joyful.

Kill a Mockingbird” and “The Help” are two marvelous literatures in which character similarities are…
One is extremely sensitive and attention-wanting, while the other is mature and mellow. One takes an idea way too far and causes an extreme internal conflict, which he will never hear the end of, while the other unintentionally causes a short-term external conflict which barely includes himself. These two characters also learn completely different things. One learns of his actual strength and that he doesn’t have inflammatory rheumatism, where the other character doesn’t lear anything except maybe to be more careful where and how he sets up his cot. When you think about it, though, there are also some big similarities between the two. For example both of these characters, intentionally or not, are the main responsibility for the story’s conflict. Both of the characters’ conflicts also involve their families. Lastly, they both lie during the story and learn it doesn’t pay off in the end.

The author uses actions and thoughts to build the character. For example, when the author developed Tutu Max. One thing the author did was on page 32 in Blue Skin of the Sea. It said, “Tutu Max pushed by, giving Uncle Raz a shove as she passed.” This shows that the author used actions to introduce Tutu Max. Also, on page 33 the author used actions again.
