Boad Character Analysis
Imagine going to a Middle School assembly and having Bod (a character from (The Graveyard Book) speak to the class. He would be a good choice because he is kind to everyone. He is also entertaining because of all the adventures he has been on. Bod would also be a good choice because he has a lot of good information to tell. Bod would be a good guest speaker because he is kind, entertaining, and has a lot of information to tell,

Bod would be a good guest speaker because he is kind. He is kind because it makes it easier for people to understand him, they would treat him nice back, and he doesn’t want to be seen as a bad guy. It will be easier for people to understand Bod because students don’t want a mean guest speaker to speak to you in a mean way. An example from the story would be when Bod was taken to the police station and Silas didn’t get mad because he understood Bod’s situation. When Bod met Elizabeth she didn’t really like that she didn’t get a tombstone so Bod tried to sell a broach that didn’t mean anything to him to make Liza a little tomb. This is one of the ways the students would be nice back. Bod probably doesn’t want to be seen as a bad person to the students. When Bod went to school, the kids didn’t really see Bod as a threat because he was quiet and invisible. In

Bod is kind because of his personality. He is entertaining because of his stories and he is adventurous how he went to the Ghouls of Ghoulheim and school. This can relate to my life because he can answer a lot of questions about his powers and all the information he learned from the ghost that talks about the past. Say if one wanted to know about the witch trials, Bod can tell them about it since he was friends with Liza(the witch). Overall Bod would be an amazing guest speaker because he is kind, entertaining, and has a lot really good information to tell the class at the
