Characters pt.3 Crispin

In the book Crispin by Avi there is an obvious main character; Crispin. At the beginning of the book he was extremely withdrawn and humble. He couldn’t/wouldn’t look up at people. He never made eye contact, and never seemed to show any signs of any self esteem. When he met bear acted as though he was worth dirt. Bear though began trying to get him to change this. Eventually Crispin began looking up at people and making sure he was looking out for himself as well as Bear. He slowly started gaining character and personality and by the end of the story was a completely different person. He went from being the absolute slave clone to an entertainer with the ability to speak his mind. By the end he shows his emotion and speaks out against the steward and is just essentially the best definition of a dynamic character. Crispin is young and scared at heart through the whole book even though he’s much better at hiding it than he was at the beginning of the story.
He was actually accused (wrongfully of course) of stealing for the steward of his town and was proclaimed a wolf’s head. This meant that anyone could kill him. This is why he left and the reason he met Bear, who eventually became his best friends and mentor. Bear was captured later I the book and was nearly killed Crispin saved him at the very end, but I’m telling too much. This is my favorite book in the world so of course I want you all to read it.
