Throught the the book John McNab can be a very intimidating, shocking and bold character. He has also shown to be very mean, cocky and bold. On page 23 when Maniac goes up to bat McNab says, “Okay runt, number thirty-six coming up.” McNab is sure that he will be able to strike out Jeffery easily and is not afraid of anything going wrong. This shows me that he is sure he can beat anyone in his way when he is on the pitching mound. Also, he is so confident that he automatically judges people badly the second they step up to bat. Another one of his character traits is that he is mean. Another character traits of his is mean, on page 31 it says that after McNab gets beaten and humiliated by Jeffery, he becomes a bad sport and decides to take his …show more content…

One way he has proved to be one of the most unique characters in the book so far is being so tough. On page 33 it says how Mars Bar jumps down in front of Jeffrey, facing him, “practically nose to nose.” As Jeffrey steps back, Mars Bar steps forward, forcing him down the street and not letting him get away. It also mentions on page 37 how Mars Bar does his best to make Jeffrey unhappy, by trying to trip him, tackle him, and even spray him with dirty water. On page 63 he even writes a sign on Maniac’s house telling him to go home, or, in other words, to get out of the East End. This proves that Mars Bar, unlike many others who are weary of the new kid in town, is tough enough to immediately confront Jeffrey and give him the sign that this is his part of the town, and Jeffrey’s not welcome here. Mars Bar also proves to be very arrogant. On page 34 and 35 it describes how Mars Bar commands Jeffrey to do things, acting like he owns Sycamore Street as he bullies Maniac. It also says on page 36 that Mars Bar takes Jeffrey’s book and rips it, holding it away from him and making him try to get it back. This shows that Mars Bar bullies people just for the fun of it and thinks he’s better than other kids, specifically Jeffrey. Mars Bar also shows that he can be very dishonest. On page 39 after Mars Bar has ripped Jeffrey’s borrowed book, Amanda finds it on the ground in front of the scene
