The main character of my book was Brian Hammet, aka brainman, he is the main person followed throughout the book, and the story was based on his actions and history. He is the high school basketball team captain and the kid who everyone looks to for guidance. The secondary character is Amanda, she is the love of his life until she and her mom and brother are murdered at the beginning of the story and her father is accused of the murders. She drives the protagonist Brian and just about everything he does, he does it for her and is always thinking about what she would do in his situation. Some minor characters are Julius, Mr. Daine, Todd, and Brians father. Julius is one of Brians friends on the basketball team and the star scorer of the team whom Brian tries to help throughout the story. Mr. Daine is Amandas father who is accused of murdering her and the rest of his family and is mentioned throughout the
story through news clips on TV and in the newspapers. Mr. Daine is an important character to Brian throughout the story every time Brian sees the news he relives Amandas murder and he believes Mr. Daine is innocent and he cant just stand and let injustice happen but in the story, Brian never meets Mr. Daine until the end. Todd is assigned as Brians partner for the big history project that conflicts with everyone’s basketball practice. Brian and the others used to bully Todd previously but throughout the story, Todd and Brian become close friends and Todd helps Brian to overcome his worries and to fight the injustice he believes in. Brians dad is sort of the antagonist in a few situations. Brians dad tries to look out for Brian and only Brian, he doesnt care about the injustice going on while his son does. His father only cares about his basketball career and not letting anything get in the way of it.
