Exploring Characters

 Task 1)

Three of these characteristics that Martha had a strength in was Love, Bravery and Forgiveness. Martha was a very brave character in this story. There are some parts of the book that shows it like when she started at her new school it was very brave of her, and Martha walking the same way home with all the kids following and teasing her was very brave. She had a strength in Love because she was able to become good friends with someone who was part of bullying her in the past. And Forgiveness also comes along with that too because she was able to forgive Scott after he joined in with the kids that followed her home and she then became best friends with Scott. Three of the characteristics she lacked was Appreciation of Beauty, Honesty, and zest. Martha lacks Appreciation of beauty in her character because she is shown as insecure and believes people are always judging her even when she has never talked to them before when she shouldn't be thinking like that. The character Martha lacks the personality trait Honesty quite a lot because she lied about things to Scott and tried to hide things from him like her house and she hides other things from him. Martha's character in the book abomination lacks the trait zest because she would never really show much energy in her personality and she would always come off as if she didn't really care that much.

Scott's characters strengths in his personality was bravery, hope, and Perspective. Scott showed a lot of Bravery in the book when he stood up to the people that bullied Martha and then became friends with Martha and then began to start liking her. Scott showed a lot of hope in Martha when he became friends with her and he showed that he truly cared about her. In abomination another trait Scott showed well was perspective, he was thinking about how it made Martha feel and he began to start sticking up for her. Three traits Scott lacks to show is Kindness (at the start), Curiosity, and Judgment(towards the end). Scott lacks to show kindness at the start because he was joining in bullying Martha and he would follow along with the group that would bug Martha. Through out this book Scott lacked to show curiosity, because when he wanted to pay for Martha he only thought of one reason why she couldn't go and believed that was the definite reason why. But really his farther had to explain to Scott that it could be a religion, family or different reason other than money.
