Zombie Bums from Uranus

1. My character's name is Zack, he is about 14 years old and is a white adolescent. He is missing his bum because it ran away from him. He lives with his Grandmother who is an ex-bum fighter, he believes he is overprotected and smothered by his carer. His friends are a group of bum fighters. The group includes a young girl named Ellanor, who is about the same age as Zack, the Kicker, who is about 25 years old, the Smacker, and the Kisser, both who are about the same age. This book is told mainly from the point of view of Zack, and is written in past tense.



2. The author has created this character because he has the traits of a leader, and the group listens to his ideas and input. Because his parents were killed, he has grown stronger, both mentally and emotionally.



3. If Zack was a female, the story might differ to how it is now. I believe the author would not have made Zack such a strong leader, and that this would effect how the reader viewed Zack, and that would make the entire story different, and most likely not as enjoyable.

An interesting observation for point 3 Ben. Why do you think the character would not be such a strong leader if he was a girl?
