Based on our class novel I am reading to you, which character do you most admire and which character do you least admire? Tell me why for each. (Must be at least 3 sentences.)
I least admire Travis dad because he also was mean to his son. He couldn’t accept the fact that his son was a little different. I admire dill because he knew that his friend needed help and he let Travis stay with him.
In the book you are reading to us, ‘The Serpent King’, the character I most admire, is Lydia because she is always there for her friends and she always knows what is best. The character I least admire is Travis’ dad because he abused Travis for no reason and never let him follow his dreams which was not fair.
In “The Serpent King” the character that I admire most is Lydia. I admire her most because she always is trying to make everyone happy, she helps Dill with his music and many other things and she tries to make everyone’s life better. I least admire Travis’s dad. I least admire Travis’s dad because he is not a very good person, he beat Travis and hurt Travis’s mom too. He also does not respect Travis and ruins his book that just got signed by his favorite author.
The Serpent King
The character I admire the most is Travis. He didn’t pretend to be what he wasn’t. He was himself and didn’t let anyone stop him from being himself. Travis was not only a good character but a perfect example on how to live your life.
The person I least admire was Travis’s dad. He should’ve not been drunk all the time and should’ve let Travis be who he wants to be. Parenting is supposed to be helping your child grow and be what they want to be not hold them back.
I admire dill because he seems like a casual guy he is one of the people who are normal in the world
The person i least admire in the book is Travis’s dad because he is an alcoholic he reminds me of my grandma because she is also an alcoholic.
In the novel, The Serpent King, i least admire Travis’s dad. I least admire him because he is a mean rude drunk, he abused Travis and his mother mentally and physically, and picked on Travis for not being like his brother. He also hit travis and beat him. The person I most admire is Dill because he isn’t afraid to face his fears and has really good friends, even though his background is so rough with his grandfather being the serpent king and him being a total outcast to almost everyone in the town.
In the book The Serpent King Travis’s dad is the person I least admire because he is a drunk and he abused his son Travis. I also least admire Travis’s dad because he watches football and baseball all the time and I hate when dads aren’t good to their children and they just watch TV all day. The person who I admire is Lydia because she is really good at school and can pretty much get into any collage.
I admire Dill because he is not that different from me. He is more smarter then me and brave. I least admire Dills mom see does not wont him to go to college in stead stay and help pay off her and his dads beats and she blames him for his dad being in prison for not good stuff on his computer.
The character I admire least is Travis’s Dad, because he beats his wife and Travis. He hits Travis just because he doesn’t like sports, and he hits his wife for no reason. That’s pretty messed up. The character I admire most is nobody, because in my opinion they’re all pretty messed up. I guess if I had to chose one it would be Dill, since he is the least messed up one, or maybe Travis. They are the least messed up characters, because everyone else is either a terrible friend, weird, a child/wife beater, a bad mom who blames all her problems on her kid, or a child molester. This is a pretty weird book.
Is it right to say they are all weird/messed up (Lydia, Dill, and Travis?) They are each their own person. Travis is who he is and does not care what anyone else thinks of him. Dill works hard and understands his struggles and knows he does not want to end up like his father and dad. Lydia is just an over caring friend, who wants the best for everyone. She has faults in how she sees things, but she is able to accept when she is wrong. No one can control the family they were born into, but they can still be good people.
In the book “The Serpent king” the person I like the most is Travis. I like him the most because he was going to do great things. He was a good person that did nothing wrong but it was all taken away. The person I don’t like is Travis’s dad because he was getting drunk,hurts his son,and has the nerve to take Travis’s and book and rip it.
In the Sepent King I most admire Lydia, I admire her the most because she is loyal and not always thinking of herself all the time. On her blog she tells about her life and fashion, and I like that stuff too. I least admire Travis’s dad because he is mean to Travis and only thinks about himself,also he tries to control Travis to do what he wants and he and beats him for not listening.
The book we are reading in novels is “The Serpent King”, and in this book the character I admire the most is G.m. Pemington. The reason I admire Gary is because he takes time to hang out and talk with some of his fans, and you would think that because he is a rich man that he would have no time for his fans. The character that I least admire is Dill’s mom, the reason I don’t admire Dill’s mom is because she is selfish. She is selfish because she makes Dill give her the money that he worked hard for it’s like, women whats wrong with you. The final reason I don’t admire Dill’s mom is because she is a bad person and a bad mom because she is mad at Dill because he didn’t take the fall for his dad when he was on trial for doing some naughty stuff. Dill’s mom wanted him to lie about his dad having downloaded some pictures, and she calls herself a christian.
In the novel that Ms. Nelson is reading to us the character that I most admire is Travis because he was going through the worst. From his Dad beating him at home and his friends being embarrassed by him and he was never scared to show who he was, not who they wanted him to be. Travis was the kinda guy that would give you his shirt off of his own back because he knows how hard life can get but he knows that you have to push through because one day that’s not going to matter anymore. He works his butt off just to write a fan fiction about his favorite books and then stand up to his dad after all of this is just showing a real hero. The character I least admire is the two guys that shoot and rob Travis. I least admire them because they are looking for money to buy drugs and that’s not okay. You don’t rob anybody or shoot anybody and you definitely do not do both. They had no idea who they were hurting, they did not only hurt Travis but they hurt everybody who knew Travis and not one person he knew could say goodbye for the last time ever. Now everybody is sad but just knowing that through Travis’s whole life he was treated like crap but always looked for guidance and power and one day he was killed and that is why I admire Travis and least admire his killers.
“The Serpent King.” The characters that i most admire are mostly going to be all the main characters and Travis’s favorite book author G.M.Pennington. Why i most admire these characters are because they all have something in common. They’re all friends. Lydia wants to go to college and try to get Dill to go too but Dill doesn’t want to go all Dill wants to do is stay home and help his mom try to pay off all of what Dill’s dad’s bills and Dill’s mom is saying to Dill that he was the reason why his dad went to jail. When Lydia’s dad bought some of Travis’ firewood that he got from his dads’ shop. When these two guys came to “buy” some firewood one of them shot Travis in the ribs and they got into their car and drove off not to even think of helping Travis. At Travis’s funeral Amelia met Dill and Lydia before Amelia even got to see Travis first. When Dill, Lydia and Amelia went to see Travis in his coffin there were a flower bouquet on top of his coffin from G.M. Pennington the author of blood fall Travis’ favorite books. Dill’s mom and dad don’t want Dill to go to college because they think that it isn’t church related and they don’t talk to god all about there sin’s and religious culture.
The person I most admire is Travis because he was a really cool he was very nice to all his friends and is a very good writer. Travis is dead now because this person asked him for his money and shot him. Travis liked Amelia and Amelia ended up going to Travis’s funeral and Dill and Lydia went up to her to ask who she was.
The person I least admire is Travis’s dad because his dad would always abuse him and tried to rip up the book that Travis got from G.M Pennington (the Author). When his dad did that Travis ran out of the house because his dad was abusing him and people came up to buy some firewood. Travis just got shot by those random people and died and I feel like it was is dads fault that Travis died.
The other person that I least admire is Dill’s mom because she won’t let Dill go to college and to me that is a very bad mother. Her son probably want’s to get a degree of some sort and his mother is standing in the way. of him. Dill’s mom doesn’t want him to go because she wants Dill to take care of her because his dad is in jail for child pornography of little kids.
Based on our class novel, Travis is the character I most admire because he helps sell wood because it is almost winter, and he is nice and kind. The character I least admire is Dill because he is mean, and cannot stop crying and the author does not talk about him enough.
In our story The Serpent King the character I most admire would be Travis’s mom because she is so kind and sweet and does the best she can for Travis. I also admire her because she had the courage to leave Travis’s father for it was his fault he had been shot outside handling wood instead of being in the house with his family safe. I least admire Travis’s dad because if it weren’t for him kicking Travis out he would been home talking to Amelia or reading instead of being at the lumber building getting shot. I think that If Travis’s dad would have been a better person then Travis and his mom would still very well be fine and happy instead of dead of miserable.
I least admire Travis dad because he also was mean to his son. He couldn’t accept the fact that his son was a little different. I admire dill because he knew that his friend needed help and he let Travis stay with him.
What does that say about Dill when he let Travis stay with him?
In the book you are reading to us, ‘The Serpent King’, the character I most admire, is Lydia because she is always there for her friends and she always knows what is best. The character I least admire is Travis’ dad because he abused Travis for no reason and never let him follow his dreams which was not fair.

The author mentions Dill just as much as the other characters.
In our story The Serpent King the character I most admire would be Travis’s mom because she is so kind and sweet and does the best she can for Travis. I also admire her because she had the courage to leave Travis’s father for it was his fault he had been shot outside handling wood instead of being in the house with his family safe.
