Mark Bragg- Characterization

    Mark Bragg was in the military. Mark had fine, deep lines showing around his eyes and mouth, he had gray in his black beard, and he had a lean face. Mark was a very important character in this book, even though he was not in the book for a long time. Mark was the man that told his brother, Randy Bragg , that he thought that there would be war, which allowed Randy to have enough time to get ready to be enclosed somewhere for a long time. From this, Randy told a few of his closest friends, but he did not have as much time as he thought he did. Mark sent his family to live with Randy because he knew that it would not be safe if they stayed at home, knowing that his city was a target for the enemy. This changed Randy's life, but saved the family's lives, and possibly helped improve Randy's future.
