Adjectives Describing Bear; More Castle Research

Max: Bear is meaningful. He says things that really get a point across. They sound like they have been thought over.

Bear makes a big deal out of stuff that doesn't seem like a big deal. He does this to show Crispin the meaning of life.

JP [aka "The Adjective Doctor"]: Bear is evasive. When he learns something new, like what's written on the lead cross, he keeps his thoughts away from Crispin and avoids Crispin's questions.

Mr. Richmond's question for JP: Do you think Bear's evasiveness is a deep part of his character, or is he just acting evasive in this particular situation? Which parts of the text can you use to support your answer?

Cameron: Bear is protective. Although he can get a little bit grumpy and loud, I think he is being more of a guide than a master. Also, he doesn't tell Crispin to call him "sir", and he teaches Crispin the ways of life.

Dearing: Crispin is thoughtful. Whenever Bear says something wise, Crispin takes it seriously.

For example, Bear tells Crispin to live by asking questions, but he also says that a person should never know everything. Crispin could not stop thinking about these statements all night. This shows Crispin's thoughtfulness.
