Maine for a league that has produced a number of major league players. Jack Faber's father, Ben, an impoverished sugar cane farmer, drives him up the coast, and on the way they pick up another outstanding prospect, Tony Garcia, accompanied by his mother, Natalie. Natalie is a struggling music teacher and adamantly opposed to Tony playing baseball. In spite of their differences, Natalie and Ben are attracted to each other. Jack has a terrific season with the Seapuit Seawolves, is named most valuable player and is offered a major league contract, which he turns down. When Jack returns to college, a tough new coach breaks his spirit in a matter of days with unwarranted criticism, and Jack ends up quitting baseball. But his coaches in Maine still believe in him and invite him back to the Cape Marlin Baseball Summer League, where they rebuild his confidence with infinite care. The story might have ended here, but Robinson heads off on a tangent in the final pages when a billionaire major league owner forces his underproducing team to play an exhibition game against the Seawolves, the catch being that if his team loses he will shut down the franchise. The ending defies credibility as does a deus ex machina discovery of natural gas on Ben Faber's property that makes him a multimillionaire and allows him and Natalie to get together. Plenty of baseball play-by-play provides fodder for fans, but scattered action distracts from the fun, and too many characters crowd the playing field

Do your own homework...\n\nbut direct characterization is where the author comes out right and says characteristics.  So look for descriptions and introductions of characters in the book.

Yes the Wreckers was a wonderful book by Lain Lawrence. The plot of the novel is very intriguing and deceiving at times. The plot\nof the novel is very\neffective because it keeps the reader interested in the novel through many\ndifferent opinions of\nthe cause of the central conflict of the novel.The setting plays a very important\nrole in developing the\nplot. The setting of the book is very effective and helps to explain the events of\nthe novel.It plays an\nimportant role in explaining why the wreckers deliberately wreck ships on their\nshores. The\ncharacters in the novel are used effectively to deceive the reader in many ways.\nSince, the\ncharacters are not completely described at once, the reader may be deceived by\ntheir actions or\nway of life. THE WRECKERS, by Iain Lawrence, is well written and keeps the\nreader wondering the\ntruth about the wreckers until the very end.

I'm sorry that you're having so much trouble. I'm having trouble helping you interpret the question being that I haven't read that particular novel. I wish you the best of luck, but I can tell you that several people in your class are probably having the same trouble. So, any interpretation of the question that you would have would certainly be better than nothing!! ;)

Synopsis:\nThis "Publishers Weekly" Best Book of the Year tells a story about the perils of popularity, the courage of nonconformity, and the thrill of first love, an eccentric student named Stargirl changes Mica High School forever. \n\nSynopsis:\nStargirl. From the day she arrives at quiet Mica High in a burst of color and sound, the hallways hum with the murmur of “Stargirl, Stargirl.” She captures Leo Borlock’s heart with just one smile. She sparks a school-spirit revolution with just one cheer. The students of Mica High are enchanted. At first. \n\nThen they turn on her. Stargirl is suddenly shunned for everything that makes her different, and Leo, panicked and desperate with love, urges her to become the very thing that can destroy her: normal. In this celebration of nonconformity, Newbery Medalist Jerry Spinelli weaves a tense, emotional tale about the perils of popularity and the thrill and inspiration of first love.\n\nThen in:  www.quakerbooks.org/get/0-375-82233-x -   you have the following:\n\nJerry Spinelli has yet again masterfully created a realistic fiction story with which all young adults should identify while seeing themselves in the characters. Spinelli's easy writing style and use of teen friendly dialogue make this selection an easy read for almost any young adult no matter what their reading level or ability. The story begins with the arrival of a new girl in school as told through the eyes of fellow 10th grader, Leo Burlock. Whispers and rumors run wild as the new student, Stargirl Caraway, begins to make her way through the school. Stargirl is a 10th grader who has just arrived at Mica Area High School in Mica, Arizona (it could have been Anywhere, USA), wearing pioneer type dresses, kimonos and strumming a ukulele and carrying her pet rat! This shocks the school, which is not exactly a "hotbed of originality". In time the student body gives away to her free spirit and friendliness. They begin to rejoice in her extraordinary and impromptu antics such as singing Happy Birthday to everyone in the school cafeteria and her spectacular acrobatics as a cheerleader. However, soon the popularity begins to wear off as Stargirl carries it a little too far in the eyes of the student body. Leo Borlock befriends Stargirl and ultimately becomes his first love. Leo is torn between the conformity issue at school and truly expressing his individuality and love for Stargirl. This plot, while chronological in nature, moves very smoothly as the relationship between Stargirl and Leo intensifies. The characters in the novel are related to the reader through the eyes of sixteen year old, Leo Borlock. Leo seems to a typical teen in every way; he honors the unspoken rule of teendom: "don't stand out - under any circumstances". Leo is both attracted and repelled by her. Leo's character changes as he realizes that Stargirl seems to like him. He eventually braves up enough to go to her house and befriend her, while also being seen in public with her. As the popularity slows to a stop and eventually turns into Stargirls emeny, Leo has to make decisions about his friendship with Stargirl. Stargirl Caraway is fun loving, free-spirited and totally impromptu. She marches to the beat of her own drummer and does not seem to notice the ways others react her. The changes in her character occur after a long talk with Leo about the way "they" see her. She changes her clothing and her way of dealing with people. In essence, she becomes a regular teen at Mica High in order to please Leo and fit in with the crowd. She eventually finds she is better off to be her true self. Person versus society is the obvious conflict in this novel. Both Stargirl and Leo are in conflict with society and the option to conform or not conform. Although they handle the conflict in different ways, both feel the need to conform. While Stargirl chooses the road of nonconformity, Leo eventually chooses to confo

Well, they don't really look like anything, technically.  Read areas in the book about the characters.  The details they give about the characters (i.e., brown eyes, blonde hair, etc.) are what you have to use.  Plus, it's not a picture book.  So you can't search for pictures.  My advice is to take the details provided in the book and then picture the character with those features.
