How I feel About Eric Calhoune

Eric Calhoune is the main character in Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes. He is also known as "Moby" or "Fat Boy," even though swimming has slimmed him. I guess he's kind of a wimp. Because he is a wimp, I don't really like him in that factor, but I like how he joined the swim team so now he's at least not that fat. Eric's best friend Sarah Byrnes has horrible scars from her father in a way I'm not going to say since some people might not be there yet. I personally like Sarah Byrnes because she is really tough and brave, unlike Eric

This is the book

sometimes.

Anyways, back to Eric. He is a good distance swimmer, and I find distance swimming not very fun. Eric is generally pretty nice, too. He really doesn't want to hurt anyone but Virgil Brynes, Sarah Byrnes dad who wants to hurt everyone. He also hates Mark Brittain, but honestly, Brittain is annoying and a jerk. Eric has good, strong opinions, but Sarah Byrnes usually executes the ideas. Also, Eric gets called dumb a lot by Sarah Byrnes. Sarah Byrnes does have good ideas, but I would love to see Eric actually do something tough and stand up for himself. He does eventually...

To sum it all up, I like Eric as the main character because he does some great things and he experiences some good times later on.
