Character
The main character in the book is Trond Sander. Trond is a 67 year old man with a dog named Lyra. From the begining of the book Trond seemed simple to me (This topic might be sounding like a broken record). So far in the book Trond has been easy-going, both when he met his neighbor Lars (in 2000), and when he hung out with his friend Jon (in 1948). He seems kind because he was willing to help Lars find his dog Poker. He seems like he is willing to try anything once, because he went out stealing horses with Jon. Trond has all the qualities of a likeable guy, he is adventorous, kind, easy-going,and he is able to strike up a conversation. One down side about Trond's character is that he has a quiet side and seems like a follower. I believe that Jon will cause him to get seriously hurt in some way or another because Trond cannot say no to him. Trond is a guy that I would be friends with.

SCott!
ReplyDeleteI also got the vibe Trond was a simple person. He seems to be super independent. As of right now, it doesn't seem to me he is lonely living alone. I also think Trond is someone I would like and become friends with. He has a lot of good personality traits. Also, I share the opinion that Jon is going to get Trond in serious trouble.
