The character I choose from the novel The Lovely Bones is Mr Harvey. His role in this novel was to be a serial killer. What is a serial killer? A serial killer is someone who has killed more than three people in a period of more than one month. Mr. Harvey killed Susie, the main character of this novel. He beat her, cut up her body, boxed it up, drove 8 miles and threw it into a sinkhole. Mr. Harvey has no real family. Her father abandons her mother after they argue next to the car on the street about the truth and consequences in Mexico. His mother was desperate because she had taught him to steal and shoplift. We know that his father was a violent person. He also taught him about buildings. We know that Mr. Harvey's life and Susie's life are not exactly the same. In reality we know it's the exact opposite. Mr. Harvey never knows what love is, since his father was abusive and his mother was a thief. Susie has always had a loving family. Her father and mother loved her and were overly protective. Harvey's profession was building dollhouses. His success gave him what his father could never give him. He earns enough to buy a house in the suburbs. He never wanted a family either. He also kills his loving wife, surprised to say that his jealousy is an evil lake that when it overwhelms him wants to kill people. In a certain sense this is its hidden characteristic. I think the way he turned out right now is all his parents' fault. If they were together, this would never have happened, well, not just together, loyal to each other and loving and caring. What he is now reflects what his parents were like when he was young. So in a way he grew up in a cruel environment. He is filled with anger at the fact that he pulled it out in the middle of a sheet of paper. he knows where he is. Comparing a person like Mr. Harvey to my life would be quite difficult as I don't know anyone like that. My mother knows someone equally close to him. He worked with a guy at work, what he does is he pushes you to get closer to him and be his friend. In the end he steals everything you have in your house. Luckily my mother knew it was a problem and hasn't spoken to him since. “Imagining death is the last thing on anyone's mind. Dangerous kids like me. Harvey or any other boy will always be present in life. It is our responsibility to avoid them. Not everyone will be caught by the police or at all. Work cited "Imaging Death". August 1, 202.
