The Girl with All the Gifts Character Analysis
After reading the girl with All the Gifts, I realized that each character was significant in their own way. They all were very caring and determined but all for different things. Due to their circumstances with the hungries surviving was really every man for themselves even when they were together. The only two that stuck together, without any doubt or disagreements, were Miss Justineau and Melanie. I love their relationship they are both very selfless and care about each other dearly. Throughout the whole story they fought and depended on each other for each other’s safety. Melanie loved and protected them

Miss Justineau is a very strong and courageous person. She is very selfless and strong in what she believes or the things she cares for. She didn’t care what she had to do or where she had to go.

Melanie’s goal was to protect them and the only one that didn’t see her as any threat was Miss Justineau. There was times where Melanie was hungry and chose to step away from them find something to eat when she could have just ate them. Considering they are what her body craves. Melanie is an very selfless & intelligent hungry child. She is very strong and fearless. Imagine being a child that understands that everybody outside is trying to eat humans. To still get up and go outside knowing that, even if you are one of them, is scary. The average child would not step outside at the sight of hungries. The average adult wouldn’t even step outside at the sight of hungries. Melanie was different she had no fear and she understood her strengths & weaknesses. With her great understanding she was a very powerful
