Since this book is really long ( a decent 570 pages-ish,) I might as well finish my requirements for this blog project. I'm getting really exited to because when I finish this book, I can write a really long post about a game that's really, really similar to this book
Alright, but enough of that, onto the actual point of this, Analysing the main character, Shuya, from Battle Royale. Yeah, if you've been reading the past posts, I mention Shuya a lot (well obviously, he's the main character.) In my opinion, based on this quote- "Shuya offered his hand to Shogo. 'What's this? I can't read your palm.' Shuya smiled and shoke his head. Then he said, 'I'm sorry I suspected you. A handshake. We're sticking together till the very end." (Takami 171)
This characterizes Shuya as a friendly teenager who just wants to make allies in this game. He never did want to kill any of his peers, he was just defending himself and Noriko. When he met Shogo, someone who actually survived another game like they're in, he takes it as a chance to make a new friend to escape with.
He thinks that he can be helpful where he can be and doesn't pay much attention to what other people (especially his female peers) think of him either. All around, Shuya is that cliche main character you would normally see in books like these. (Which is a good thing if you read a lot of these types of books.)
Hoping to read more of this, I will be back with more posts of this book next week. Bye, readers! C:
