Petey: A Character Analysis

If I was a character in the book Petey I would have become Petey’s friend instead of Trevor. First, I would have gotten out of school quicker because I like to get home as soon as possible and would have been there before Trevor to save Petey. Then, after I would have made friends with him quicker because I’m not scared of people that don’t look the way most people do, or can’t function normally. Lastly, I would have stayed with him longer after I saved him and then he never would have met Trevor and that would change mostly everything that happened in the end of the book. With that evidence, I can prove I would change Trevor becoming Petey’s friend and I would replace Trevor in the book.

Another thing that would change in the book Petey if I was in it would be, I would have never taken Petey fishing. First, he would have never learned the words, “Guuu fiii” which later in the book had a different meaning which caused the book to end a certain way. Second, the fishing made Petey see a new meaning of life, which is “Enjoy life while you can because the next day you might not be able to do that same thing”. That means, anybody can die at any time, and the next day if I wanted to go shopping I might not be alive to do so. Finally, The trip to go fishing was the trip the finally caused Petey’s wheelchair to be non-ridable due to it breaking so many times. Therefore, he would have never needed a new wheelchair and many events in this book wouldn’t have been able to happen such as, Sissy, the nurse, fighting for the wheelchair company to donate 1,000 to Petey’s wheelchair. Overall, Petey not going fishing would make some significant

I would become Petey’s friend in the of the book instead of Trevor. Also, I would have never let Petey have the privilege of going fishing because I would never suggest it. With those changes, the book would be completely
