The book, Marley & Me by John Grogan is 289 pages long with an amazing story about a beautiful relationship between a dog and its family. John and Jenny want to start a family so they start off with a dog named Marley. This troublesome dog tears furniture, eats expensive necklaces, and causes a lot of trouble. When John and Jenny have their children, Patrick, Conor, and Colleen, Marley is still up to mischief, but protective and loving towards the kids. Marley became a huge part of the family, but tragically dies at the end. The characterization of John is calm due to his softness and not as firm with Marley.
John is very calm. Whenever Marley does something wrong John never seems to react except by being surprised. John is not very firm to Marley other than his wife, Jenny, who will become furious with him. Maybe one of the reasons Marley was a troublesome puppy was because John wasn’t as firm with him. John is very calm. This story is heartwarming and tragic, but a wonderful story.
