The Wonderful World of Characters

In THE GREAT COW RACE there are several characters, but the main character (the protagonist) is Bone. Depending on the situation the antagonist varies, but the main antagonists or "villians" are the 'rat-like creatures' or Bone's cousin Fone Bone. As we have recently learned, for a character to be successful it must have strengths and weaknesses, otherwise the character becomes unlikable. Bone, the protagonist, has both his strengths and weaknesses. One of Bone's strengths is he is friendly and is well liked by basicly everyone. He helps getting people out of trouble and although he may not be a superhero those are still his strengths. His weaknesses on the other hand, could be he tries to see the best in those around him and is often blinded by his naive nature getting him into trouble. Fone Bone, his cousin the antagonist, has his strengths and weaknesses as well. His strength is his way with words, he easily gets those around him to believe what hes saying, fallow him, and trick those people in to benefiting his own selfish gain. His weakness is his partner, Smiley Bone. They are like tag team partners... but Fone obviously being the smarter one is constantly carrying around his weakness that is his relative Smiley. These characters are not human, so being able to relate to their different emotions throughout the story and trying to relate to their differences that are new and unsual to the reader is what draws you to the characters in the first place. The emotions of love, jealousy, greed, and envy are all emotions that are easily relatable emotions that are written or illustrated throughout the graphic novel THE GREAT COW RACE.
