Post #9:Heroes vs. villains

The book that I am reading right now is called Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. In the book the main protagonist is Jacob. For him he would be considered an anti-hero because in the beginning of the book he is confused with the truth of his grandfather’s stories of his childhood. He tries to believe them but doesn’t really understand if his grandfather is telling the truth or not. When his grandfather dies, he is completely lost. He starts to see a therapist to see if what he saw when his grandfather died was true. His parents think that he is crazy and he was just imagining things. He doesn’t know if he has lost his mind.  I think that Jacob fits the pattern of a hero because he is left with a problem (figuring out his grandfather’s childhood and his death) in the book which he has to solve it. He finds old photographs in his grandfather’s house of the stories he told about the children that he told him about. Another protagonist that is similar to Jacob would be Bee fox from Where'd You Go, Bernadette because in that book Bee is trying to find what happened to her mother after she disappears in the book. The difference is that she is looking through many different documents and Jacob is looking through photographs. The books are kind of similar in a way. In my book the protagonists in my book would be the hallows and weights. They are described as evil monsters that eat peculiar children. I think that they kind of fit the pattern for a villain because they don’t really want revenge on the children they want to kill them to feed their hunger. They kind of have a history with the children.
