Entry Two
The two main characters that I stated in my last post are Will Henry and Dr. Warthrop. They are both very complex and have many wants. As I have also stated in my first post, Will only wants to have his family back and Warthrop wants to be recognized for his work. But throughout the book they discover they have more than just one thing they want from time to time. One example is when Will loses his hat in the Old Cemetery while being chased by Anthropophagi and misses it dreadfully because it is his only possesion that he owns from his parents and he cant stand to lose it. Another example is that Warthrop wants to clear his dads name because everybody believes that the Anthropophagi got to New Jerusalem, America by the boat that his dad brought over.
I believe that the theme of this book is just because it is written doesn't mean it is fact. I believe this because Will always tells Warthrop they should warn the Constable of the Anthropophagi because they may attack and slaughter families, but Warthrop tells will it is written and studied for thousands of years that they don't feed in that short of periods. And of course the next morning a family is slaughtered with one survivor. This happens 2 times so I believe it is a fitting theme.
