    Do the characters seem real and believable? Can you relate to their predicaments? To what extent do they remind you of yourself or someone you know?

    Answer: I think he seems realy real because I know that familys are going throught the same thing is happing to alot of people all over the world, so that is why I think that is realy real.  No I can not relat to him at all because he lives a millitary life and i just live a normal sitasin life. He reminds me a bite of my self becuase he and i think a little a like, like about going in the girls pers and being shy most of the time. So that is what I and him have in common.
