Nobody Owens.
From the beginnig of this novel Bod is always growing and learning new things. This story i believe is more than just a story of a boy named Bod who lives in a graveyard. It is a story about children as they experience new things, learn lessons the hard way, figure out right from wrong, and just grow up as a person. In the end of the story when Bod has to leave it is just an example of how people never really know what is ahead of them in life, but they have to move forward everyday. Neil Gaiman touched on some very important issues in life through the charecter Bod, don't you agree?

Kind of, I think. I'm not a huge fan of this book, but you're right about how Gaiman portrayed childhood "advetures" through Bod's life.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your opinion. Gaiman did portray many lessons and the average difficulties of childlife, minus living in a graveyard and being pursued by a murderer. Bod experienced losing friends, having school trouble, disobeying, being disciplined by parents, exploring new things and so much more.
