Character description
My main character in my story is Morengaru. Morengaru is a small black man that is not very good looking. My character just wants to fit in he doesn’t fit in because his mom is a Kikuyu and his dad is Masia. His mom was sold to the Masia and then they had Morengaru that’s why he doesn’t fit in. Some people in that live in the tribe with him think he’s as fast as a lion or they say he a night hawk. He his very tall and He has skin like a snake. He doesn’t like to sleep that’s why people call him a night hawk. If I had to choose I think his greatest strength would be hunting because he stays out all day and hunts. HE will come back with sun burnt skin and wont even care. His greatest weakness his making friends he is really bad at making friends nobody even wants to be his friend because they think he doesn’t belong. The only friend he had he accidentally killed. Morengaru also carries his moran spear around with him every ware.

Summary: After a while living with the baboon's Morengaru started feeling more and more comfortable around them. Like they would start to play. They even let him go hunting. Then the oldest baboon in in the baboon gain started protecting Morengaru and didn't let any body bother him hes like Morengaru's dad.
Question: Do you think Morengaru likes the old baboon as a dad figure.
Anton Quintana wrote the book the Baboon King. The story takes place in east central Africa. The main character of the book is Morengaru. His mom is Kikuyu and his dad is Masai. Since his parents are from different ethnicities and that causes him a lot of problems in life.
The civilization in which Morengaru lives is the Masai which is his mom’s tribe. They are very religious civilization for instance they celebrate the day that the crops grow with dancing all night long, eating allot of food and praying. As the book say’s the Masai believed that all cows belonged to them. They also send children 12 and up out to be a Moran which if there a Moran they can’t livbe with there family until there 32and your part of the warriors class. My book was true.
The character Morengaru is a very energetic boy but he can be very shy at the same time. One thing my character has done is accidentally kill one of his friends but it wasn’t his fault because his friend had snick up on him and Morengaru got scared and reached for his spear and killed his friend. Another thing he has done is stand up to a baboon when he was getting threatened they ended up fighting and the outcome of the fight was the baboon dieing. The last thing interesting Morengaru has done is kill a giant black leopard by making a net out of weeds and bark. When he caught the leopard the baboons and Morengaru killed it.
The baboon King is one of the best books I’ve ever read. It’s not like any other book I’ve ever read because who wrights about a boy living with baboons. I really like the book because it’s really fun and it never gets boring also it’s mostly true but then it has that fiction to make it fun. I recommend you read this book.
