Trash:Characters

This time I am going to talk about the characters in my book Trash. In case some of you forgot, the author of this book is Andy Mulligan. 

Firstly, the protagonist, Raphael Fernandez, he is a dumpsite boy who, one unlucky-lucky day finds something very valuable that opens a whole lot of other mysteries and problems which he and his friends are going to try and solve. His hair is fairly long and he wears a pair of hacked-off jeans and a too-big T-shirt that he can roll up onto his head when the sun gets bad. For me Raphael is a very brave boy who wants to know the truth and will stop at nothing to get it. He proved this when the police took him away for investigation. Besides being very brave he is also very fair in all situations...Especially when he shared the money he found in the bag.
Gardo is also one of the main characters. He is Raphael's companion in this adventure. Unlike Raphael, Gardo has no hair. I see Gardo as a smart and realistic boy true to his friends.
However, there is also Jun-Jun better known as Rat. The Behala dumpsite boys and girls call him this because he is one of the poorest kids and lives in a hole full of rats. He also doesn't eat or drink. It’s a miracle he is alive.
Another supporting character, Olivia Weston was a 'temporary house-mother' at Behalf’s Mission School. She is 22 years old. When she came to visit Behalf, she decided to stay and help. I would say she was very noble and brave for helping the boys even when she found out what they were up to and because she had the courage to go in a prison.
Lastly, I would say the antagonist of my story is vice president Zamanta. So far all the clues point out that president Zamanta is a bad person. I guess at the end of  the book everything will show.
