Favorite characters- Bob is funny, lazy and friendly. Change: He was serious when Stella died. He wasn't always lazy- sometimes he did a little bit of work.

My favorite character is Ivan, and his character trait is brave. At the beginning he was not brave but when Stella died he had to react brave to protect her. Ivan is creative as well. He made a puzzle out of drawing, and that puzzle showed Ruby in a zoo.

My favorite character is Ivan. Ivan is caring. In the middle when stella died Ivan had to care for ruby because stella cared for ruby. This made him change from not caring to caring.

Great Thinking Indira! I agree that the point in the story when Ivan realized that his "domain" was really a cage changed his feelings about saving Ruby which gave him courage!

My favorite character is Ivan because he was a good friend. When he promised Stella that he'll take care of Ruby, he has changed a lot. The character trait I would describe him is open minded and trustworthy.

Jeeva

I pick Ivan because he's brave. Because in the beginning he called it a domain. In the middle he called it a cage the only reason he called it a "domain" in the beginning because he didn't want to scare Ruby.
