2 Who am I? I am a lion. I am a big, mean looking African animal.
I have lots of tourists coming to see me every year in my wild life park home, which sometimes makes me angry. I have enormous paws and a tail with a bush of hair at the tip. My body is covered with yellow and brown hair and I have a huge crop of hair around my head called a mane. I am perhaps most well known for my earth shattering ROOOAAAR!! I am a lion.

4 James is a happy boy. He loves playing football with his friends and enjoys going down to the football field to play matches. His chocolate, brown eyes and dark, tanned skin glisten in the sunlight as his neatly, braided dreadlocks hang like vines at the side of his face. Large, blue glasses give him a sporty look and his eyes shine from behind their perfectly cleaned lenses. As he smiles, his nostrils flare like an angry rhino, never showing his teeth. James’ smile is infectious. His wide grin and chubby cheeks let you know that he is a friendly chap and always ready for a laugh. He seems to enjoy wearing yellow and wears a T-shirt underneath his jersey or sweatshirt.

5 Calpurnia-To Kill a Mockingbird Harper Lee
She was all angles and bones; she was nearsighted; she squinted; her hand was wide as a bed slat and twice as hard. She was always ordering me out of the kitchen, asking me why I couldn't behave as well as Jem when she knew he was older, and calling me home when I wasn't ready to come. Our battles were epic and one-sided. Calpurnia always won, mainly because Atticus always took her side. She had been with us ever since Jem was born, and I had felt her tyrannical presence as long as I could remember.

6 Her name was Mrs. Pratchett
Her name was Mrs. Pratchett. She was a small skinny old hag with a moustache on her upper lip and a mouth as sour as a green gooseberry. She never smiled. She never welcomed us when we went in. By far the most loathsome thing about Mrs. Pratchett was the filth that clung about her. Her apron was grey and greasy. Her blouse had bits of breakfast all over it, toast crumbs and tea stains and splotches of dried egg yolk. It was her hands , however, that disturbed us most. They were disgusting. They were black with dirt and grime. They looked as though they had been putting lumps of coal on the fire all day long. The mere sight of her grimy right hand with its black fingernails digging an ounce of Chocolate Fudge out of the jar would have caused a starving tramp to go running from the shop.

7 Harry had always been small and skinny for his age
Harry had always been small and skinny for his age. He had a thin face, knobbly knees, black hair and bright green eyes. He wore round glasses held together with a lot of cellotape because Dudley was always punching him in the nose. The only thing Harry liked about his appearance was a very thin scar on his forehead which was shaped like a bolt of lightning. His thin mouth sometimes broke into a smile at the thought of casting another spell on an unsuspecting victim.
