Statistic Character: The statistic character in my book is Jason, because he keeps the same type of tone from the book. For example this is him from the beginning of the book, " 'Where's who?' Jason asked.". This is closer to the end of the book, " 'Fine', Jason said. 'Now, let's fight.' " The tone of Jason says the same throughout the book, meaning he is the most statistic character. This shows proof of my point.

CHARACTER VS SOCIETY: Jason is feeling scared and nervous when he is going on the quest because he has a lot on his shoulders. He wants people to help him as he goes on his quest.

Predictions: Piper and Jason are on a quest with a giant and need them to betray their friend to get back her dad. I think they are going to fail and the giant will eat them. In the book it states, "You'll go on the quest. I'll be watching' the Giants said 'serve me and you both live. Fail me and I will eat you." This shows I think that they will fail and the giant will eat both of them.
