Do you like Lorenzo as a character or not and why?

I like Lorenzo as a character, even though I wouldn’t be a friend with him as a person. He’s a real figure with some psychological problems but he knows how to pretend as a normal child. I like Lorenzo’s special and I found the warmness in the deep of his mind.

There’s no doubt that he’s different for everybody that read the book. He showed his indifferent attitude to face other people and problems. He knew how to protect himself. When he understand his problem and heard the conversation between his parents, he said to himself, ”Lorenzo is a normal child.” He knew that’s what his parent wanted him to be like. Thus, “I was like a sardine in a school of sardines.” He intimated normal people to make him normal. He knew how to control his anger and make him safe. I can see his clear mind that he always knew what he should do and what’s good for him to do. He’s a mature character, which I like in the book.

Meanwhile, he’s cold, but also warm. He recognized people that are special in his mind. His parent has said, “He believes he is special and only people as special as him can understand him.” Although he’s cold to people that were not special in his mind, he was really kind to the important ones. For example, his mother was the special one. Lorenzo made up a lie about the “ski weak”, and he wanted to tell the truth. For making his mother happy, he decided not to say about the lie. In my perspective, it’s because of the love to the mother. I saw the true humanity of Lorenzo, and I’m sure it would be truly lucky that someone has been loved by Lorenzo.

As a result, I like Lorenzo as the character and I like to see the story of him.
