In the story “Stray”, by Cynthia Rylant, I claim the protagonist Doris is a very positive character. I state this because she is hopeful, persisting, and passionate about the dog that walks on her property, and throughout the story, she hopes to convince her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lacey, to adopt the stray dog. First and foremost, one of Doris’ traits is she is hopeful, she hopes her parents will let her keep the stray dog. I can state this because I know in the beginning of the story, Doris holds the puppy against herself after Mr. Lacey says: “I don’t know where it came from, but I sure know where it’s going.”. This indicates that Mr. Lacey is communicating to Doris that he plans to take the dog to the pound or shelter after the weather clears up.
