In Chapters 4-5, we began to characterize the different people we have met so far in Frindle. We tried to look beyond their physical attributes, and looked instead into their personalities and beliefs. Once again we saw some key differences between Nick and Mrs. Granger, and we agreed that these might lead to even bigger conflicts later in the story.

Consider some of the character traits that you possess, and compare those to the traits of one of your close friends. While there are probably similarities, look for the differences. Do these differences ever lead to disagreements with that friend?
