The personality of a character in a book contributes to their success or failure by the characters attitude toward things. If the character doesn't believe in using technology then that's going to affect the way they think about which will either benefit them, or cause them to fail their mission.

I chose to read the book I am reading now for nothing other than supposing it could be interesting. It turns out that the book is actually way more about culture than what it says it's supposed to be about. I thought is was going to be completely about this terrorist plot but when I started reading it was more of a battle between two cultures.

The setting in my story is crucial to the plot because if it weren't for the setting I'm almost positive the plot behind the story never would have happened. The reason for this, is the beliefs in that different country. Different people believe in different things.

If I could change the behavior of any character in my book, I would change Yael's. Yael has a personality that gets her into lots of trouble. She's always curious about other people and why they do the things they do. I would change her personality more to what most people think of her as, a wealthy, modest, person that believes that there's always something more that can be achieved.

I think that Yael and Yaniv will break Bilal out of jail somehow. I think this, because Yael and Yaniv are both really worried about him and they really want him out of jail for two different reasons.

The main character, Bilal, has the characteristic of never giving up on what he wants to do and what he believes. I wish I had this characteristic because I could actually accomplish something if I went through with the idea. I could actually be someone special if I had this trait whether it's me writing songs, which hopefully I keep up on doing, or whatever else it is that's important to me.

My character is facing being in jail and really thinking up a way to prove that he's changing and wants to accept the Jews. The problem is that now that he's commited a crime against the Jews, he's stuck in prison. Now that he's in prison his beliefs have changed and now he accepts the Jews and realizes how wrong he was before. I'm not sure I could give any advice to the main character, other than to try to survive.

My book is set in the 21st century I know this because Yael, is wealthy, and they talk about how she has a really nice CAR and a fancy suit. The story would be different if it took place back when they didn't have cars because instead of Yael having to drive to the Palestinian man's house she would probably have had to ride a camel or walk and it would take much longer to get there.

When I read my book, I think about how messed up some people can be. Then again I feel bad for the ones who are born into growing up to hate another race or culture. This relates to Bilal in my book. He was born into hating the Jews and never really got a chance to make a decision on his own. I hope Bilal eventually gets out of jail unharmed. Right now, it doesn't seem that way though.
