Part 1. Name three techniques an author uses to create character and give an example from the story for each one. The author creates a character by making Aaron kind and nice to animals which makes him kind of a wimp (his actions) and he wasn't a very good fighter when he was trying to escape from the older boys. The author also helped explain him by the way he talked (his words) and how he said things and that gave him a voice. The author explained him as fast because he ran away from the older boys really fast and he was a little athletic because he was a good rollerskater. (more actions) Missing a third way authors create characters.

Can a person "make up" for terrible things that have happened to someone else? yes because if the person had a bad child =hood you can make it up to them by giving them a fun rest of their life by helping them do things and letting them see the world and being kind to them. You can make it up by giving them a present, just like Aaron was going to do because his grandma lost her pet goat which was like her best friend when she was little so Aaron was going to give her pidge to make her feel better. What did Pidge and her goat have in common?
