Special Object - I chose an arrow for Toms' special object because I thought it was a good representation of his qualities. He is thoughtful, brave, courageous, but I thought that all of those combined into his will to live and go on. He keeps on going until he found his father even though he is attacked by a jaguar and fell off a bridge. this is why I chose an arrow for his special object, because an arrow doesn't stop until it hits its target.
Appearance - In the story, Tom was a horse veterinarian. This is why I chose to have a picture of a man with a horse. He was also thin and of the same build as the man in the picture. This is why I chose this picture to represent Toms' appearance. Relationship - In the beginning of the story, Sally is in love with Professor Clyve. He is the youngest person, age 16, to ever graduate college with a medical degree. Sally is also into medicine and the codex is a book of over 2,000 old Mayan remedies that Professor Clyve can translate. Sally finds Tom and they fall in love, a stronger love than she has for Professor Clyve. This is why I chose a kissing couple on a beach because I represents their love.
Conflict - One of the greatest conflicts that Tom had in the book is Man vs. Beast. He was strong and willing to go on even after the conflict, didn't have anything against himself, and had the motivation to find his father; this is why I didn't make his conflict Man vs. Self. He was attacked by a jaguar which was following him for days. After he was attacked and while trying to save Sally, he was jumped on by it, and it was lunging for his neck and he stabbed it with a machete. this is why I chose this as one of his great conflicts in the story.
Quote - This quote: "I don't need the money, I'm happy as a horse vet." shows he is a great person and is not consumed by greed even though his father was rich. It also tells about his happiness in life and shows that he is neither poor nor rich.
Transformation - In the jungle everyone in their group, including Tom, was transformed from modern back to primal. They learned to make hammocks from grasses and remedies from trees and leaves. Tom and the whole group realized they no longer needed modern technologies to live in the jungle and find Maxwell Broadbent. This is why I chose the picture of a man turning back into an ape, contrary to the ape to man picture.
