Morpurgo portrays Charlie Peaceful as a witty, clever, yet caring and protective character in the book Private Peaceful. The evidence to suggest this could be his “pranks” and theft which are for a good intention or simply for the humor of it. His caring nature is presented when he comforts his brother by taking his hand and asking Tommo “Piggyback?”.

When Charlie steals “Bertha” from the Colonel, he is clearly doing it out of good heart since the reader learns of his plans to shoot the dog. This proves Charlie’s loving nature because of the fact Morpugo would not have made him steal the dog unless his intention was for him to be a caring person. The question he asks Tommo, “Piggyback?” points to him trying to comfort Tommo, because a “piggyback” is seen as a friendly gesture. He is also portrayed as humorous because his “prank” on Big Joe, though not the sweetest act, was effective. He is also proven to be “a good liar” as Tommo says, strengthening his wit and cleverness. The effect this has on the reader is to allow them to perhaps relate to Charlie or like his kind nature and good sense of humor.

Question: What are you first impressions about Charlie?

Charlie is presented as an independent and loyal teenager. Although he’s a very caring and sweet person he can be immature sometimes.
In one part of the book it says “Charlie blew a noisy raspberry at the colonel ”, this indicates that Charlie is a supportive person for doing it ( to protect his brother in some way) however choosing to do a raspberry isn’t the right choice in a situation like this. Charlie can be immature sometimes but most of the time he knows how to deal with situations that are much more serious. He couldn’t do anything about it with the colonel because the colonel is presented as a ‘king’ , showing his superiority. The colonel can kick the peaceful family out of the cottage since he owns it. Charlie is also considered as the ‘man of the house’ since his father died in a terrible accident. He acts mature enough (most of the times) to be the eldest in the family however big joe is older. Big joe can’t be considered as the mature one in the house because of his speciality so Charlie takes over his job. Charlie has a strong instinct to protect and to preserve life. For instance, he saved a dog’s life even though the consequences are extremely serious. He saved a life of a dog who was about to get shot because she was “useless” to them (the colonel). This also gives a sense of immaturity because he stole the dog but he did it to save the dog’s life ( Bertha).
