Four beings as kids -book review

Up to the second part of the story, the boys are still just kids goofing around.
But, from these parts, we gain a sense of how these boys are linked together and what these boys are like as individuals. The way how several sceenes are focused on two characters serve to highlight the personalities of the characters and the way they commute with each other.

Gordie and Chris' experience at the back streets signal to the readers certain characteristics of the two boys. Gordie is sincere and often more serious than the rest of them to daily life, whereas Chris, still sincere, finds enough space for such jokes and surprises.

Teddy's attempt at the ultimate train dodge leads to three discoveries; Teddy's half-mad, Gordie's sincere, and Chris is the mutual leader. Teddy's mental fervor is kind of expected from the description the readers are given at the start of the novela and Gordie's sincereness is merely being confirmed again. But, Chris' matureness and leadership does not quite surface until around this time in the book.

Last of all comes Milo Pressmen(keeper of the garage waste) and his dog Chopper. From this instant we get a feeling of who Vern is like- a bit more idle and childish than most other kids of his age. At the same time comes Teddy's outrage and the following breakdown which helps us engage with the character better.
