Tell me some things that you learned of the character or personality of this individual.  For example was he/she withdrawn or an introvert, determined, shy, funny, unusually angry or depressed.  Give examples from the book that support your ideas.

Leonardo de Vinci loved parties? Yes! As crazy as it sounds this calm and collected man loved to party. In my book it says he was an "enthusiastic partygoer." To him "having fun was the most important thing." This shocked me, because I never thought a scientist attended these type of events. However, even though he loved parties, he was a "private person." I was also surprised by how talented he is and how he always wants to learn. Why don't kids want to learn these days like he did? I just thought Leonardo was an artist, I thought wrong! He's also a, astronomer, engineer, and inventor... Ect! Leonardo is full of surprises!

Lovell was a very determined person, and tried harder at everything than anybody else did. He was outgoing and everybody liked him. His teachers liked him also, and he helped in the lunchroom often.

Thomas Edison was a very smart and gifted indiviual. His personality was to never give up, especially when he tried to make a light bulb glow up. He was hard working at everything he did.

Marie had a very cautious and rational personality. She wasn't one to think of risky things to do. She didn't show much feeling either, and disliked anyone seeing her soft side, because she liked seeming in control. For example, she often did things the hard way. Along with her feelings, she felt insecure of relationships with some people.
