Slide 9 - Question ouverte

Character development
In iBoy, there are many challenges to develop Tom's character. YA novels, like almost all works of fiction, are focused on character development. The person we meet at the beginning changes in some way by the end of the book. The things that change the character are described by the events, people, or situations in the story. These all force the character to make choices and take action.

Slide 10 - Diapositive

Home/Environment
Knowing about Tom's home in the London Council Tower Flats is very important to understand Tom Harvey's personality at the beginning of the book, and  his choices and actions later.
Not only has Tom lost his mother and never lived with his father, the home he shares with his Gram is in a poor, crime-ridden neighbourhood. In these Tower Blocks, the most powerful people were members of Gangs. 

Slide 11 - Diapositive

Absolute Power
In iBoy, Tom suddenly and unexpectedly gets all kinds of powers, mental and physical.
These powers allow him to take revenge on the people who hurt Lucy. But he doesn't stop there. He goes after all types of crime and violence, and the police name him a 'vigilante'. 
Actually, Tom is in a position to take over complete control of the area. The question is, how far will he go?

Slide 12 - Diapositive

Morals/Character
In the book iBoy, Tom faces various situations in which he has to choose between doing something right or wrong. He very often thinks about whether or not he is becoming an evil person. 
Many terrible things have happened to him and those he loves. He is in an area where it is easy to go down the wrong path. With the power that he has, it is difficult to know which choices to make. 

Slide 13 - Diapositive

The Power of Love 
But perhaps maybe the strongest influence Tom feels in making the choices that he makes is love.
At the beginning of the book, he has a secret crush on Lucy, and throughout the book he does everything he can to make her life easier. For a while he pretends to be somebody else, but in the end he wins her heart by just being himself.
