In this story, the protagonist is Deryn ("Dylan") Sharp. She is a girl who pretends to be a boy to be in the British air force. The character traits she has are: Bravery, because she risks getting in trouble for pretending to be a boy; self-sacrifice, because she risked her own life to be in the air force.
Page 33 ( Captain asking who wants to fly the air beast first)
"right, then." The flight captain stepped in front of the line. "Now that the Monkey Luddites have been cleared out, who'd like to go first?"
Without hesitation, without a thought of what Jaspert had said about not drawing attention, and with the last squick of nerves in her belly gone, Deryn took one step forward.
"Please sir, I'd like to fly."
I think this picture represents what I said above because everyone else in Harry's class was afraid of Buckbeak but he went forward and patted it.

Decisions in Leviathan
When the British airbeast: The Leviathan, crash lands outside of Alek's hideout in Switzerland, with wounded men in desperate need of food and supplies, Alek is faced with the decision of risking his safety and helping the enemy, or stay in his castle and watch them die. Even though he is hunted by both Allies and Axis, he could still be seen as an enemy because of his nationality. I predict that he will make it out alive if he decides to help them and he could make some friends doing so too.
Ordinary World of Prince Aleksander
The book I am reading is Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld. Prince Aleksander of Austria-Hungary's ordinary world is his father's palace. Here is where he is when the story begins and he must leave the palace. He thinks at first he is going to practice driving the stormwalker when they tell him his parents have been assassinated and he must leave Austria-Hungary.
I chose this picture because the Germans and Austrians start chasing Alek and his men when they are fleeing in their stormwalker.

Archetypes In Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince
Harry Potter is a 16 year old wizard that goes to Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry. The archetype he represents is the Hero. I think this because he only wants to overthrow Lord Voldemort, the dark wizard who killed his parents and tried to kill him when he was a baby to lead a normal life without constant fear someone he loves will be killed.
It was important, Dumbledore said, to fight, and fight again, and keep fighting, for only then could evil be kept at bay, though never quite eradicated. -- page 644
