Blue Skin Of The Sea Characters

221 Words1 Page

Blue Skin of the Sea is a great book written by Graham Salisbury. Blue Skin of the Sea quickly develops many characters in a short span of one chapter. The author does many things to develop the characters in this story including writing what the characters say, do, and think. First of all, Tutu Max was described as the nosiest person some people ever knew. The book stated, “If anyone could mess up a nice plan, it would be Tutu Max.” Also, Tutu Max snuck up behind all the other characters without them knowing. That just spells nosey. Next, the book wrote about Uncle Harley. With Uncle Harley just escorting Aunty Pearl to a car, he “ceremoniously” escorted her, and gave her the great, “upholstered seat.” With an act as easy as that done so nicely
