Choice Book Report 2 Main Characters

  For my second choice book report I read The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke. One of the main characters was Prosper. He is twelve years old. I pictured Prosper as a tall boy with short dark brown hair, and bright blue eyes.

Prosper is a very independent person. He likes to be by himself a lot, and he doesn't really trust anyone else. He is also independent because he doesn't rely on other people, especially adults, to help him or do work for him. Prosper is also very brave. He is brave because he ran away to an entirely different country with his younger brother to escape their cruel aunt and uncle. He and his younger brother, Bo, lived by themselves in Italy, which is the country they ran away to. This makes Prosper very brave. I think that Prosper is also very loyal to Bo. He could have just left his younger brother by himself with his aunt and uncle, but he didn't. Prosper stuck with his little brother and made sure that he was safe and healthy. This also makes Prosper kind. I would also describe him as cunning. Prosper came up with a plan to escape his cruel and awful relatives. He also came up with a plan to get to the strange island with Scipio. This makes him cunning.

Another main character in this story is Victor Getz. Victor is the detective that was hired to find Prosper and Bo. Victor is said to be the best detective in Venice. I would also describe him as independent, like Prosper. He is independent because he lives all by himself with his two tortoises. He doesn't really like interacting with people either. Victor seems like he is very lonely. Victor is also trustworthy. Even when he did find Bo and Prosper, he didn't tell their aunt and uncle because he knew how mean they were. Victor actually helped the boys stay away from their uncle and aunt. He didn't tell anyone about where Bo and Prosper were staying. This makes him trustworthy. Victor played a big part in this adventure. He could have turned Bo and Prosper into their relatives, but he didn't. I think that Victor could have made the story completely different than how it ended.
I really liked this book. ENJOY! :)
