Owen Meany

Authors Note: This is my character development piece. I wrote this on Owen Meany. 

Owen Meany is the main character in the book A Prayer For Owen Meany. Owen is like no other kid in his generation, he is very short and doesn’t do things like a normal kid would. Owen is a Christian. Owen believes that he is God’s instrument. This is because of all these events that happen throughout his life. Owen and his best friend John go through a lot through their lives that change them in many different ways.

There are a lot of thing that change Owen is the book. The main thing is John’s Mom dying. She was a big thing in Owens’s life. She was always there for him. She was more of a Mom to him then birth real Mom was. Also a big thing is that Owen was the one to kill her some it was really hard on Owen because of that and how it all happened.

Owen Changes through the story after this happen for a while. First he feels really bad and isn’t really talking to anyone. Then after a while he starts to help John’s Dad because he doesn’t know who it is and Owen also because the same as he was before. Owen helps and helps him and also makes him feel better to like doing all the fun stuff they did and everything. Both of their lives go to how they were in the beginning how it was the best friendship someone could have.

Owen Changes a lot when this happens and this is a lot on a kid like him because he gets picked on and isn’t like most of the kids at his age. He can’t even do what most of them can do like play sports well run around and that may change a boy a lot even after he kills his best friends mom.
