He enjoys reading as seen at the beginning of the novel, before Jasper requires his assistance. He is mature for his age. Always thinking and staying wary of the situations he is put in. With his glasses and scrawny body, Charlie is seen as a dedicated young man by his community, always staying out of trouble and away from mischief. Sport is something that Charlie would prefer to avoid.
His love of reading is derived from his father, who shares his book collection with Charlie. His mother is described as nearly broken, after the loss of her unborn daughter. 
Jeffery is Charlie's best friend, who is treated atrociously by the other boys, for his Vietnamese heritage. Both Jeffery and Charlie share a passion for superheroes and the cricket, as they were listening to the radio broadcast of the first ashes game. ]]> 2018-08-06 01:14:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cody_d_hursey/npyrbuh8ii9g/wish/272018398 cody_d_hursey https://padlet.com/cody_d_hursey/npyrbuh8ii9g/wish/272019819 Jasper is known for his reckless behavior and terrible reputation which is known throughout the town of Corrigan. His reputation is so poor the other parents will use his name as an excuse for their children going astray. Jasper has said in the first chapter that he prefers to sleep in the bush rather than his house, which is where Laura Wishart's body is found.
Jasper is described as muscular with a solid build, who is a two years older  than Charlie. He engages in the local sports and is feared within the other teams as a threat. His mother is dead and his father is seen as a no good. An orphan is what the town see Jasper as.  ]]> 2018-08-06 01:30:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cody_d_hursey/npyrbuh8ii9g/wish/272019819 cody_d_hursey https://padlet.com/cody_d_hursey/npyrbuh8ii9g/wish/272162704 Jeffrey is Charlie Bucktin's best and only friend. A Vietnamese boy who occasionally gets bullied and tormented by the other boys. Like Charlie he enjoys superheroes and likes to tease Charlie about Eliza Wishart, when he gets the chance too. His father is an engineer who makes sure his garden is well looked after. His mother doesn't understand swear words in English, and does not like bad manners or behaviour.  ]]> 2018-08-07 04:38:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cody_d_hursey/npyrbuh8ii9g/wish/272162704 cody_d_hursey https://padlet.com/cody_d_hursey/npyrbuh8ii9g/wish/272990309 Wesley is the father of Charlie and the husband to Ruth (Charlie's Mum). He teaches literature to the children of Corrigan and has the same passion towards books as his son. This is first introduced in the story, as Charlie Describes his father's library and the first time he was given permission to read what ever he desired from the library. 
His wife's family is pictured as a wealthy family, who wanted Ruth to marry someone as rich as them. Ruth originally married him after his surprising intellect excelled him in school. Everyone thought Wesley would go on to become a Doctor, or something in the field of successful. In other words not a teacher. ]]> 2018-08-14 04:05:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cody_d_hursey/npyrbuh8ii9g/wish/272990309 cody_d_hursey https://padlet.com/cody_d_hursey/npyrbuh8ii9g/wish/272991903 Implausible:  Not seeming reasonable or probable, failing to convince.
