Character+analysis 

The main character of the book “Danny the world champion” is a boy called Danny. Danny is a marvellous little boy who has an imagination that any boy would envy. Another important person in the book is Danny’s father William. William is not a well-educated man, but he knows almost everything. He tells Danny stories every night and teaches him the ways of life. The father and son have an astounding relationship and they are each other’s best friends.
 * Character analysis**

Danny doesn’t really have that many special features besides that he is skinny, tall and has short hair. He wears regular clothes and does not really stand out in a crowd. He describes himself like this: “I was now a scruffy little boy as you can see (picture), with grease and oil all over me.” The physical appearance of Danny doesn’t play that big of a role in the story, it’s the psychological and emotional perspectives that is most important.

Danny is a warm-hearted, pleasant and clever boy. He thinks well about almost everybody, and never badmouths anyone. The thing that Danny loves most in the whole world is spending time with his lovely dad. They come up with all kinds of stuff like repairing cars together, go apple picking and lots of other exciting activities. Danny sees his father as the perfect man, and that’s why Danny gets really shocked when he finds out his father’s greatest secret in the whole wide world. Danny is described as so smart that when he was just a little kid he knew how to take an engine to pieces and put it back together. He is clever and always gets good grades on his schoolwork. He is pretty much described as “the perfect boy/son”, and even though his mom has past away Danny isn’t sad, because he has his wonderful dad.

On the psychology level Danny is as told earlier a good and loving boy, but he relies a lot on his dad. “They always comforted me tremendously, those noises in the night, because they told me my father was close at hand.” Danny has never had a mom or a lot of friends so he feels that his dad is the only one he can really trust and relate to. The young boy is pretty curios and doesn’t let anything hinder him in achieving his goals. In one chapter of the book Danny has to go through a big amount of trouble to save his dad and he is even willing to risk his own life.

Danny’s father is called William and is described as a tall and skinny man. “My father, without the slightest doubt, was the most marvellous and exciting father any boy ever had.” William is not a well-educated man, but if you ask him a question you will most certainly get a clever answer. The things that make William such a good person is that he cares a lot about others, especially his son. If I could describe William with just one word I would say the same as Danny, he was marvellous. I don’t think any father and son has that same connection as William and Danny, but if they’re even close they should be really satisfied.
