Characterzation In Just Shocking

*****
Just Shocking has many stories inside. The main character inside is Andy, which is also the author. The book is about Andy doing lots of pranks and getting in trouble.
On page 102, he says that he was late for school because of tight underpants. And also says that he didn't come to school yesterday, because of natural disasters like volcanic eruption, an earthquake, a tsunami, a hurricane, and a willy-willy. You can tell that Andy makes lies that are really dumb and hard to belive.
On page 158, Andy and Danny(best friend), were playing a game called Lemonade roulette. The point of the game was to shake one of the lemonade out of six lemonades. They were playing when his dads boss came in and took one lemonade. His dads boss is very strict and took a lemonade and that lemonade was the one that was shaken. So you can tell that he like making jokes.
So you think Andy is not scared of anything because he was doing these pranks. Well you are wrong! Because on page 21, Andy was acting like a robot and his job was to annoy his sister. But his parents were telling him to do chores. But Andy would never listen. So the parents thought he might need charging, so they said to keep the robot inside the closet. Well Andy did not agree because he said he did not want to go inside the closet because of spiders and bugs. Well he got stuck in the closet. He thought he was trapped inside there for a whole week, but he was only there for 45 minuets. That tells us that he is scared of bugs and that he is stupid
Well, this book is a shocking and a really funny book. I think Andy Griffths and Terry Denton make a great team.

Kaisei, you've done a nice job with this post. You've given direct quotes from the novel that really show how and why you arrive at your conclusions regarding character.

Right at the end you say Andy is scared of bugs and stupid. I wonder where you got the stupid part?

I like the dark look of your blog site, Kaisei.
