Character Analysis Jackie Craig

Jackie Craig is a character who is really mischievous. He’s a man that is mostly unknown and judged because of keeping things to himself. People just don’t see the light in him.

Jackie is a man that you just can’t put a finger on in my opinion. He is simply just indescribable. In the book it says he is 5’11, medium built. The book also states that he looks like the kind of guy that could rob a 7/11 and get away with it. He has brown hair but just nothing that stands out. He is just a plain character that would look like an average person that you wouldn’t notice. Out of all this the only thing to sum him up is nondescriptive as the book states.

In the book whale talk you see that Jackie Craig’s not ‘’Mr. Popular.’’ Nobody really notices him through the whole book. That is until he joins the swim team. At first when he joined the kids that were on the swim team were really friends. If you read on you’ll tend to see him open up more and more. By the end of the book he gains love for the team. It’s like that team is his only passion and it motivates him to be happier. He is a really kind guy too, it’s just...People don’t give him a chance to show his true colors so he keeps everything to himself except for his team.
As you read on though you see that he starts opening up as you get farther along. The main reason in my opinion why he opens up as you read on into the book is because of the swimming team that he joins. He tried to play football but he had been cut from the team. Even though he doesn’t really talk, he is a really nice guy. In the book you’ll see this when the swim team is on the bus and they get into a deep conversation and he bursts in tears. On the bus Jackie had talked about how the team means so much to him because he really doesn’t have friends. As you can see though that has changed since this chapter in the
