Circling Vultures

The time in the novel Circling Vultures is in the “summer” and I can infer that the story takes place in the “1990’s”. The story takes place on the dry, dusty lands of “the vast East African grasslands” on a wildlife “Game Park”.

The 2 characters I’ve chosen from this novel are Jason and Peter. Jason’s physical characteristics are, he has “short brown hair”, has a “dark brown tan” and he is short “his brother towered over him”.

The author was very descriptive in his creation of his characters, which enabled me to clearly picture them in my mind.
