Most of the time when you read books, there is a character that reminds you of one from another book.

Why ask if you don’t want to be told?” (Page 172)This shows that even though Ron knew he might regret his action, he still thought it was unavoidable not to say anything. Consequently, Ron got detention during that class for “Criticizing the way that Professor Snape teaches his class.” Lastly, when Luke from “The Longest Ride” started to physically fight Brian, he made it obvious that he does not like when people are treated badly for no reason. “‘What? You calling in your friends
