Question #13: "Which character would you like to be in this book? Why?"


Which character would I like to be in Maniac Magee? And why? Well, let's see, the character that would best fit me would be Amanda Beale. One reason why she would be my character is because she is, obviously, a girl like me. Second, according to pages 43-44 in Maniac Magee, Amanda and her family les Maniac live at their house when they found out that he was homeless. If I had a friend who was homeless and had nowhere to go, I would offer him/her to stay at my place. Thirdly, Amanda can be a brat sometimes, but she was just like a sister to Maniac Magee. She shared a room with him and even let him read some of her books. I'm not much of a brat, but if my good friend did live at my house, I would be nothing more than a sister to him/her. I would even share a room and my books to my friend. This is who I would like to be in Maniac Magee: Amanda Beale. And these are the reasons why I would like to be her.
