I am interested in Bod's whole story. Bod is a 5 year old boy raised by the dead. In chapter 3, Bod's character especially shines, with his intelligent, creative mind. For example, he used different objects around him to state the alphabet. "A big hairy C is for Cow, I think. With horns," (51). This shows that he thinks out of the box in variety of situations. I'm excited to learn more about his character.

I was interested in the story line of Thackeray Porringer, who died at the age of fourteen. As Bod is going through the cemetery, he comes across Thackeray who rudely requests for his book back. "'It's my book,' said Thackeray Porringer, obstinately. 'Give it back'" (175). Although Bod does not want to give it back because he is only borrowing it, he still returns it and even shares a book recommendation to him.

I think it is sweet how Mrs. Owen takes care of the child. "The child had fallen asleep in Mrs. Owens's arms. She rocked it gently, sang to it an old song, one her mother had sung to her when she was a baby herself," (24). Jack, the main character, tries to kill the baby to realize it was a stuffed animal that he had tried stabbing. Ever since, it seems Mrs. Owens has wanted to keep the baby as safe as possible.
