Charater sketch assignment

We a reading the novel October Sky currently right now in English. Their are many different character that you learn about in throughout the novel. For my character sketch assignment, I chose Jim. Jim is the older brother of Sonny Hickman. Him and Sonny go to the same school, Big Creek High School. Jim is a very big football star at their school. Jim state throughout the character was a very Minor role, he is in various sections but is not throughout the novel.

There are many different physical traits that help you get a picture of him in your head. Jim was big and tall, he had golden hair with a peroxide curl at the front, and he was well dressed. Jim relationship with others varied with different people. He was a ladies man with the girls, and had many different friends. He was very close with his father. Him and his brother, Sonny weren't very close. Jim was always picking fights with him or calling him name like "little sister".

I think Jim was included in the novel to help understand the Hickman family. He showed that Sonny was not very well treated by him and others. He Also showed that his dad was more proud of him than he was of Sonny. I think he was also put in the novel because he was Sonny brother and was a part of his life.
