In the peer response include the following: Why do you agree or disagree with the initial response about which character is the protagonist and who is the antagonist?

In what ways do you think that the ambiguity reflects the reality of life in general?

Please respond to this discussion post by answering the following question above.

The Antagonist in the story is the son of the king of sharks, named Nanave. The protagonist is the Chief of the village. The story lets me know that Nanave, the son of the king of sharks is the antagonist because he is the second most significant character that has opposing views with the protagonist. Nanave is not good but he is not necessarily bad either. The chief is the hero of the story, so that makes him the protagonist. As he “The Chief” makes Nanvane leave so the people of the village will not go hungry any longer. A good thought out plot with good characters can make it hard for a reader to distinguish from an antagonist and a protagonist. The chief of the village is the protagonist because the story is most closely related to the people of the village and the chief is the hero. The chief chases off Nanave so they can fish and the people of the village will not go hungry any longer. The author provides the readers with characters that are very well described. He describes their social qualities. He distinguishes the characters by people, god, and the chief. The author also describes character development with the main characters. They way the characters transform over time. The author uses many visual cues such as the mark of a shark on Nanave, as well as the feathered cape the king and his son wore. The way the characters resolved conflict also helped to prove which character was the antagonist and which character was the protagonist.
