CHARACTER PROFILE//CASTLE IN THE AIR

Character Profile:

Castle in the Air

Abdullah ( main character)
Gender: Male
Race: It doesn't say. It just mentions that he lives south of Ingary.
Religion: Really does not say, but he believes in what he sees and thinks.

Abdullah is the son of a late carpet merchant. He has a big family, and they are always pressuring him to get married, because he is of age. While he talks, he always talks with flattery, like compliments with words. That is how everyone talks in the place where he's from, so when Abdullah travels, he always is well liked by his polite manner and flattery. He doesn't get pushed around, but he's always nice and willing to help others and listen, until it gets out of hand or just annoys him. He always daydreams, and pretends that he's a prince or the lost son of a wealthy king, and his imagination gets him into frequent trouble.

Abdullah has a lot of courage to stand up for himself, cunning and wit. Unfortunately, he does get outwitted a lot in the book before he does much for himself.

Reading what you wrote about the main character, he seems like a push-over. It sounds like he would oblige to people's wishes easily, and if he is mistreated, would not stand up for him self. It's a good thing that later on he does learn how to defend him self. I really want to read this book now. Well mainly because it's suppose to be the sequel to "Howl's Moving Castle" and also because I heard it's really good. hehe

At first i thought that main character would seem one like of the perfect people who have no flaws, and that gets annoying...Glad to see that he gets pushed around though...oh wait...that doesn't sound right...

Well have fun reading the book =)
