Heroes and Villains
The Protagonist- In the book Don't get Caught by Kurt Dinan, the main character we come to meet is Max, someone who achieves a 2.5 gpa, isn't too athletic and is also known as "Mr. No Social Life." He is the narrator in this wonderful book and also the leader of Water Tower 5, a group in contest with the Choas Club.
The Antagonist- There are two possible answers here, but to avoid spoiling anything I'll go with the most obvious option, The Chaos Club. The Chaos Club has been around Asheville high school for a very long time and they have never once been caught. They are very well known for their end of the year prank, (always being the largest), and all the mischief they have caused.
Patterns is Max- One pattern we see in all main characters and Max is his willingness to take the fall of the entire group upon himself, so no one will figure out the entire group and plan. Another thing I have noticed about Max that I have seen in other main characters is that he is not an above average person. He has a low gpa, not very athletic, not super well known and very hesitant to make decisions.
Comparisons- One character I can think of that is the opposite of max would have to be Artemis Fowl. Artemis Fowl is always prepared for anything, does everything for his personal gain, and really doesn't care for others (until the later books). Now for a character that shares the same traits as Max, I would have to say Neville Longbottom, Neville does everything to help others and the people he cares about. He often has some type of plan, but they usually go awry. Max is a very unique character whose personality shines throughout this book. I enjoyed it very much and can't wait for that sequel. Keep up the good work Mr. Dinan.
