CONNIE AND ARNOLD FRIEND

CONNIE AND ARNOLD FRIEND 

Connie -  The fifteen-year-old protagonist of the story. Connie is in the midst of an adolescent rebellion. She argues with her mother and sister, June, and neglects family life in favor of scoping out boys at the local restaurant. She tries to appear older and wiser than she is, and her head is filled with daydreams and popular music that feed her ideas of romance and love. When Arnold Friend arrives at Connie’s house, she must confront the harsh realities of adulthood, which bear little resemblance to her fantasies.

Arnold Friend -  A dangerous figure who comes to Connie’s house and threatens her. Arnold has pale, almost translucent skin; his hair looks like a wig; and he appears both old and young at the same time. He seems like a demonic figure, perhaps even a nightmare rather than an actual human being, but his true character is never fully clarified. He speaks calmly and quietly to Connie, which makes him seem even more threatening, and in an ambiguous scene near the end of the story, he may attack her inside her home. He ultimately convinces Connie to get in the car with him.

So,I can say that the both charaters are vivid.We can see the changes in Connie's character .Firstly,she tries to behave like adult but at the end of the story manifested her adolescence.About Arnold I can say that his character  brings mystery and mysticism in the story .This combination of the characters makes the plot intriguing .
