Christoffer Hero On A Bicycle By Shirley Hugher

Who is the protagonist? Describe the personality and the physical features.

The main character in my book is Paolo. Paolo is a boy. He is very brave and noble. He has a mother named Rosemary and a sister named Constanza. He wants to join the Partisans. He is a very brave person because he is willing to fight for his country's freedom by entering the Partisans. The Partisans are people who are helping the Jews and other people to escape from the German Concentration Camps. They risk there life's for others. That is what Paolo wants to do. He tries to join the Partisans, but they won't let him join they say he is to young, even though he is 13 and is very tall for his age. He is a trustworthy person. He is also the person you would want as a friend since he is caring, helpful, peaceful, calm, responsible and many other characteristics. He is helpful right now in the story by having some of the people who have fled the concentration camps. They will now be staying in Paolo's house. I think the antagonist in this story is the Allies. The Allies are the countries fighting against Hitler. The setting is in Italy and the Italians were with Hitler. The Allies are very strong, hardworking, good at cooperating and helping others. One of their advantages is that they are good at helping different country's with different needs.
