"Year of the Hangman" by Gary Blackwood
Prompt: what character do you dislike the most out of the book and why.
What is something that you found bizarre in what you have read so far.

 The character that I dislike the most in the book "Year of the Hangman" by Gary Blackwood is probably Creighton because he takes everything for granted and he causes chaos. There has not been a part in the book were Creighton has been nice to anybody which I found weird because the author usually makes the protagonist a good person. Even after he barley lived from getting kidnapped by pirates he still acts annoyed with everything and everyone around him.

The first thing that I found interesting in the book so far was that Creighton was terrified of going to Florida because it was supposedly the roughest place and also the most easy place to die. The reason that I thought that this was bizarre was because modern day Florida is probably the nicest place that you can live or visit. Another reason that I thought that this was bizarre was because the reason that Creighton thought that Florida was such a bad place was because in school that was what they were taught about the new world and the states.

Some thing else that I found bizarre in the book so far was how Creightons mother had him kidnapped. The reason that I thought that this was bizarre was because some creep did not snatch him off of the street, his mother got him snatched off of the street on purpose. I did not really be live this part of the book at first because I thought that he was just dreaming but it turns out he wasn't. People must have been different back then because my mom would not ship me to Europe or to Britian for being bad.
