"Drums Girls And Dangerous Pie" Week 10/14

Prompt: Are the characters realistic (do they seem like they could be real people)? Why
or why not?

Pages read 0-23

          In the book Drums, girls + dangerous pie the main character (Steven) is faced with many problems. One of the problems that Steven has to deal with issue little brother named Jeffery. His little brother always is the main attention for his family and when he gets sick Steven's world will no longer be the same. In the book on the back cover the book says "But when Jeffery gets sick Steven's world is turned upside down, and he is forced to deal with his brother's illness, his parents' attempts to keep the family in one piece, his homework, the band, girls, and Dangerous Pie..." because of this the reader can now infer how Steven is facing reality and is at a point in his life where him and his family are struggling.

          I believe that the characters in the book are realistic because the characters in the book are facing a struggle. The characters being Steven and Jeffery are mainly the main characters of the book. In the book Jeffery is always embarrassing the character Steven, I'm choosing to point this out because I personally have been embarrassed before and I can relate to this. I think the characters are also realistic because in the book their is no mythical creatures or events happening in the book thus leaving me to conclude that the characters are realistic along with the events.

          In conclusion I believe that the characters are realistic. I finally believe that they are realistic because everyone in the word is forced to deal with struggle. Sometimes you may struggle from simple things like picking a shirt to wear to having to chose to move or no. Struggles vary from minor to major and I think that Steven struggling in the book is realistic because everyone struggles. The character Steven doesn't have magic and is not spiderman leaving me to conclude that this book is realistic fiction making the characters realistic.
