Character Profiles Group Assignment

1. My Character that I was assigned to is Jesse. His family relationship to his sisters is friendly but has extreme hatred toward his parents.
2. Jesse is between 18 and 19 Years old. Um not sure about his physical appearance though, But if I had to guess I would say he is a little on the trashy side because in the book it says he smokes and his room is a complete disaster so I will base my opinion's on facts.
3. Jesse does nothing with his life besides life off his parents and smoke all day. Jesse needs to get a job.
QUIRKS: Jesse makes alcohol/boose in his room!?!?!?!?!
4. I believe Jesse and Anna are very close and you could tell that Jesse could understand why Anna is sueing for he body. Jesse seemed impressed.
I found it interesting how made a opsticle couse to get up into his room.
Quote: Pg. 93 Jesse
"Anna is the only proof that I have that I was born into this family. Instead of dropped off at a doorstep by some Bonnie and Clyde couple that ran off into the night. On the surface were polar oppisites. Under the skin though, were the same . People think they know what there getting but there always wrong"

My life dream

Alaska

        Alaska to me is by far the beautiful stare in America. The land of breathtaking landscapes, scenic mountains, enormous lakes, very natural place to be. Alaska is home to Mount McKinley located within awesome Denali National Park, the enormous glaciers of Kenai Fjords National Park, has a lot of natural living creatures like whales and Grizzles. 

        Id get to Alaska by taking a world Class jet their being in the luxury first class. Also, this place is known for the breath taking views and mostly wildlife. The average temperature in this state is 20-60 degrees thought the months. Therefore, for this experience I need lots of clothes, sunglasses, hiking gear, and a house to live their for ever. The experiences I accept from this experience lots of views that give me goose bumps. Also, going hiking and drink fresh water from a river. This excites me so much and just really interest's me.
