Point of View

I believe the point of view my novel, "Galveston" is writen in is third person. I think the author chose to write this novel in third person because it allows the story to be told under the perspective of all the characters. This allows the reader to understand what all the characters are thinking and what their personal views are. I would not change this point of view because I think it grants the reader with multiple view points and perspectives.

Character Traits

I think the protagonist in my novel, "Galveston"  is Caldwell. The first character trait I decided apon is,  he is unfriendly. "Caldwell had annoyed the comstoms official, he could see that, so he profferred an explanation." Secondly, I thought he has a lack of energy. "Denton jabbered and gesticulated and even managed to rise a smile on the face of Herbert, the Cree guide, who gave the impression of never having smiled in his life. But Caldwell was unmoved, and sat in the bow, hunched over, his hands pressed  together in a mockery of prayer." Next, I chose lucky. "He smiled as he said, "I used to be a teacher. Phys. ed. and science. But i don't need work any more. I'm rich."" Lastly, I thought Caldwell to be moody. "Hey," he said, "did we come here to fish or to fool around?"(previously, sitting silently, and alone daydreaming).

Stock Character

The stock character that I have chosen is Alice Cullen from the Twilight Saga. I think that the audience is told she is bubbly, tiny, and optimistic; loves and cares for Bella(protagonist) like a sister. She often ignores other people's advice and does things her own way, which usually results in being better than predicted. I think the stereotype of Alice is she is sophisticated and self oriented. She dresses with high fashion and comes of at first glance as stuck up.
