My least favorite character is Ben because he seems very annoying and can't keep a secret. My favorite character because he seems like a normal teenager and cares a lot about his family.
-Lang Chow
I think that my favorite character in the novel would be Matt. He doesn't try to take sides, and he also works hard. My least favorite character would be Carolyn, Matt's mom. She seems realy mean, in the middle of the book she hit Matt.

Matt is my favorite character because he cares and takes care of everything and is a good friend.
Ben is my least favorite character because he can't keep a secret and can get Matt or one of his brothers in trouble and cause problems.

My favorite character is Matt, he is always helping his family out and working on the farm without complainging and doing a good job. He cares alot about his family and is very nice to them.
My least favorite chracter is Jesse's mom becuase she doesn't care about her children very much. She was pregnant and was making a shirt, but it was for Jesse in the guerrillas and not for her baby. She thought more about the war and not her child.

my favorite character would be matt becuase he is only 15 and is taking care of his family and his farm and to me that is a lot of work to do for 15.
G6KCS
I think my favorite character is Matt because he cares deeply about his family and shoots food for them. My least favorite character is Ben in the beginning because he is spoiled and screams his head off if he doesn't get his way.
-G6catnip
Betsy, Matt's oldest sister, is my favorite character. Even thought she is not one really a main character, when she does enter the story, she makes an impact on the whole story. She helps Matt make important decisions throughout the whole story. My least favorite characters were Scott Moore and Sam Wright, but when Sam and Matt were in the detail together, i learned that Sam was actually a nice kid.
Chilly Willy
My favorite character is Jesse because he reminds me so much of my friend who's name happens to be Jesse. Jesse in the book is confident and cool and My friend Jesse is not really all that confident, but he still acts cool under pressure.
My least favorite character was Mr. Stone. Mr.Stone was kind of forcing Matt to join the North. But Matt really didn't want to take sides. Mr. Stones also did not like Jesse and his family at all. Jesse is Matt's friend and I don't think he should have tolled Matt not to be friends with Jesse. But I am not happy he died, accually i cried when I read that part in the book.

My favorite character would have to be Clayton because he is always thinking, which I like to do often. He also stops his siblings from doing the more risky things which makes the reader wonder about what would happen if he hadn't said anything in the first place. My least favorite character is Provost Marshal Ford because of all the trouble he causes to Matt's family and to other people. At least the character made that part of the book more exciting.
Toussaint L'Ouverture
My favorite character is Matt. This is because of his ability to lead his family without a father. for my least favorite character, I do not have one.
Le Bron
My favorite charactor is matt, because he is very indepent, and my least favorite charactor is clayton because he is bossy and he is not very nice to ben.

My favorite character in the novel is Susie. She is my favorite because she is very mysterious and playful. Just like me. As well as having a mind of her own. One minute she acts like she liks Matt and the next she pushes him out of a tree. Probably that is her way of flirting with guys she likes but is to secure to show it. There are alot of girls in our school who just tell guys their feelings but I am a type of person who flirts but won't just say it.
My least favorite character is Matts mom because she is mean and does almost nothing than yell. I know she has alot of kids to take care kof but she could still be nice and not make the kids wish anymore that they still have a dad. Matt does most of the work. And when Matts mom found out about Jesse and Matt crossing paths with Buck she gave not time for Matt to explain he side of the story.

right now my favorite charecter is matt, because even though he is only 15 he is the man of the house. he has to take care of his family, and sometimes leave his friends behind to keep his family surviving. he also doesnt like to take sides in order to please his mom.
my least favorite charecter is jess's mom. i don't like how she is always pushing on jess to leave with the guerillas, and how she doesnt like to see matt and ben. i think that she is mean, and doesnt care about her children just about the war.
wako
My favorite character is Matt. He is my favorite character because he is just like me he will do what he wants and he doesn't like having siblings tag along when he goes places. My least favorite character would be Ben. Ben is my least favorite character because he whines about everything he has to do and that would get on my nerves.
JAC
My favorite charater is Matt. He is strong but will do things for his family that only a good person would. I think that the love that he has for his family is unconditonal. He will work and try do anything. He will even try things new. Like rasing pigs. He didn't know how but he tried and thats what counts.
Softballgrly
so far my favorite character would have to be matt. i fell it is cool how he takes care of the little one and shows him around the farm. he seems to have alot of knowledge about the farm since he works on it everyday
Rover Whitestud
My favorite character is Matt. Matt is my favorite character because he is very independent and he knows what he is doing. My least favorite character is Ben. Ben is my least favorite character because he can not keep a secret and he always gets Matt in trouble.

My least favorite character is Ben because he is annoying and can't keep a secret. My Favorite character is Jesse because he seems cool.
-Babe Ruth
My favorite character in the book is probably Clayton, for the reason that although he is somewhat crippled, he still overcomes that adversity and tries to be the man of the house even though Pa died.
Blue Chair1
My favoirte characer is Matt because he tries to do what's best for his family without giving up everything he wants. My least favorite character at the moment is Ma because she seems to be so mistrusting of Matt and isn't being fair.
G8Bball
My favorite character would have to be Matt. I know he's the main character, bur he's the one going through most of the conflicts and seems to struggle with his family at times. It's interesting to here his arguments with his siblings. My least favorite character would be Betsy. To me, she isn't a character who makes the book more interesting to read. I don't think the storyline would be too much different without her.
-G8VanJourney
My favorite character is Matt because he knows what he's talking about and is very independent like me. My least favorite character is Betsy because she tends to act snobby at times.
My least favorite character would have to be Mr. Stone. He was always telling Matt the things that he should and should not do. For example, he told Matt that he shouldn't hang out with Jesse. I also don't like him because he's always telling Matt to join the North.
I think that my favorite character is Matt. He's a hard worker and willing to do anything for his family and friends. I also find hime very brave during very scary situations.

My favorite character is Matt because he knows what he's talking about and he's very independent like me. My least favorite character is Betsy because she tends to act snobby at times.

My favorite character is clayton, alhough at times he is strict (and a little mean) he is smart and wants what is best for him and his family.
My least favorite character is matt, this is because he is a deceptive little boy who keeps secrets from his family with a smile on his face.

I've really enjoyed reading all these comments about the characters you like and don't like. It's interesting to hear your points of view. It also shows why the world is as diverse as it is - not everybody likes the same type of person, right? Your comments reflect real life: Doesn't it always seem to happen that you might really like somebody, but somebody else will say "I can't stand him/her!" And it's hard to know exactly why that is so!
- Pat
My least favorite character is Ben because he seems very annoying and can't keep a secret. My favorite character is Matt because he seems like a normal teenager and cares a lot about his family.
-Lang Chow
I believe all the characters have something special or different about themselves but my favorite character is Matt. Matt looks out for his family and tries to keep them all safe. My least favorite character is Ben because he seems very winey and only cares about himself.
~gumbie almighty
I would have to say that my favorite character in the novel right now is Matt because he is constantly taking care of his family and his responsibilities as well as being a good friend and person. As far as a least favorite character, I do not dislike any character fully but do dislike some qualities of certain characters. For example, I do not like Clayton's temper or Jesse's disregard for other people in some situations.
Hally O'Riley
All characters have a quality that makes them bad or good. My favorite character is Matt because I can really connect to him because he is very protective about his family. But my least favorite character would be Ben because he is not very secretive.
Nashomatic
my favorite character is matt because he works hard and looks out for his family. my lest favorite is clay because in the book Matt says clay trys to start acting like their dad, and he is mean.
aznpwnage123
I would have to say that my favorite character would have to be either Matt, because he responsible, just wants what is best for his family and does a fine job of not taking sides and supporting his family, or Ben. Everyone says, "Oh, Ben is such a trouble maker," and "My least favorite character is Ben because he always gets Matt in trouble." But, the truth is, Ben is just being a ten year-old boy. I have two little twin nine year-old brothers and I always think that they are so annoying and they always get me in trouble and all my friends say, "No they are so cute! They can't be annoying." And you just have to look at things from the little kids point of view, they are just being a kid.
My least favorite character would probably be provost marshal Ford or Mr. Stone. Both of the men give me a very foreboding feeling that sends chills down my spine. Plus, provost marshal Ford brings a lot of trouble to Matt's family.
Taylor Grey
My favorite character is Susie. She's my favorite character because she is always tuff, and isn't afraid to show her feelings. My least favorite character is Jesse's mom. She's my least favorite character because she doesn't act like she cared about her husband when they were hanging them in the tree.
Bratdoll
My least favorite character is Ben, because hes so immature, even though he is young. My favorite character is definetely Jesse. He is confident and caring.
Vinny Yak
My favorite character would be matt because he is very smart and thinks things through. My least favorite character would be Ben be cause he's always getting people in trouble and can't keep the simplist of secrets.
G1halo3
My favorite character is Matt because he is very respectful to his mother and he looks out for his family. He has a great responsibility, and he works very hard.
G2carmel
My least favorite character is Matt because I don't like his attidtude. Although his father did die doesn't mean he should be in a horrible moode every single day. Also Matt never listents to Jessie. My favorite character would have to be Jessie. This is because I like how he takes on so much responsiblity and doesn't complain about it to much. Those are my favorite and least favorite characters in the book.
G2bookworm
My favorite character is ben because he is always in the mood for adventure no matter what the situation. My least favorite character is Mat's mom, she doesn't even care his side of the story if he ever gets into trouble.
G2Uncle Tom's Cabin
My favorite character in the story would probably be Matt because he is such a nice person and friend and brother. Jesse is also another one of my favorite character because he is a good friend to Matt. I think my least favorite character would be Jesse's mom because she trys to keep Jesse and matt seperate and is very strict with her kids.
Juno Bleeker
My favorite character is papa because from everyone's thoughts about him all the time. Plus Matt wouldn't be the person he is in the story without his papa and his untimly death. My least favorite character is Buck because he seems to be a bad influence on Jesse and he is not the nicest person being a part of Quantrill.
-Ozzy Bird
My favorite character right now is Matt because I can totally relate to his thoughts he has when something interesting happens. My least favorite character is Clayton just because he is very close minded and he was mean to Ben.
My favorite character is Ben because he is always positive and oblivious which is why he is always happy. My least favorite character is Matt's mom because she just doesn't seem to understand Matt's predicament and she always gets mad at him.

G5casanova
My favorite character is right now is Matt because he is always standing up for what he believes in. He is also a very nice and caring person.
My least favorite character is Clayton. He's not very talkitive and friendly, and I am a very talkitve person. Also, he doesn't say whats on his mind a lot of the time.
G5 giga tight.
My least character is Ben Howard because he is very annoying. My favorite character is Jesse because he was real.
Joe Hawk
My favorite character is Matt because at 15 he has a lot of responsiblity, taking care of his family and the farm and also making sure he doesnt get into trouble. Matt seems to be a good role model. My least favorite character is Clayton because he acts like he is really tough and the father of his sibilings. When Clayton beat his little brother i thought that was out of line.
g5shortcake
My favorite character is Jesse. He stands up for himself, his friends, and what he believes in. I do not agree with his decisions, but I like that he is not afraid to show his true colors. My least favorite character is Clay. He's too boring, and if I had to live with him he would really get on my nerves. He's always telling people what to do, and he seems to think he's smarter than Matt. He probably is, but still, no one likes a smart-aleck.
G6falloutgirl
My favorite character is Suzie because she pushed Matt out of the tree.My least favorite character is the Provost Martial becaues it is creepy how he Knows Matt.
G6Mizzguy

Wayne Gretzy
My least favorite character is Ben because, he thinks that he can do whatever he wants to. Also because he thinks that if he does something bad then Matt will come help him. My favorite character is Matt because he is supporting the family, just like his dad did and he is much younger.
Pablo
My favorite character is Matt because when his dad died, he took the responsibility of providing for his family. Many teenagers would not do that. My least favorite character is Jesse's mom because she doesn't seem to care that Jesse and Buck could die as Guerrillas.
G8 delias14
My least favorite character is Ben because he is very childish and immature he doesn't know when to stop.
G8Tate
My favorite character in this book would be Jesse because he is brave and he fights for what he believes in. I would have to say my least favorite character would have to be Ben because he gets in the way too much and he whines too much for a kid his age.
G8HEAT17
My least favorite is Matt because he tries to be like his dad at a yonger age. My Favorite is Jesse because he is always interacting with others.
G8 JAYS
My favorite character would probably have to be Matt. He is such a humble and honest guy. He tries to lead his family without the help of his father. As soon as his father passed away he immediately took the role as the soul provider of the family. Many teenagers our age would not have been so quick to step up and be as responsible as he was.
As for my least favorite character... I have to admit that I truly don’t have one. As a reader some of the characters can get pretty annoying but I don’t have a specific least favorite character.
Channing Tatum
My favorite character in the book is Clay. He is very sensible and responsible. My least favorite character in the book, well I don't really have one without all of the characters there wouldn't be a great story and I can see each characters' veiw point.
~Hippo Hugger
i think that i would have to say that my favorite character is betsy because you can tell that she really cares for her family and that she is scared of the war, and that is how i am too. my least favorite character would have to be is clayton because what he sis to ben was really mean i think that he was taking his anger out on ben, and he really shouldnt of. and that is who my favorite character and non-favorite charaters are.
xo-acdm-xo
My favorite character is Jesse, because he believes in God and you can tell by his actions. He also wants to protect his family because he loves them so much. My least favorite character is Ma, because she doesn't seem to want to listen to Matt or anyone else when they try to explain something to her; and she smacks her kids. (mainly Matt.)
