In Now Is The Time For Running my favorite character is Deo. He is my favorite character because Deo was trying his hardest to stay in Zimbabwe. He wants to go back to his home in Africa and stay with his parents. At the begining of the story Deo was very worried that he wasnt going to make it alive out of this camp. Alot of people that he knew did not make it to far and they died. Deo was very cautious when he was at this very mean camp. Many people weren't careful enough and they would make mistakes like, making the guards mad. They would then take them.At the end of the story Deo felt very acomplished beacuse she made it back to Africa. This girl in the camp helped him go back to his homeland and she took some valuable things from him. It was a big risk for Deo. Along this journey he was very nervous somebody was going to catch him. Nobody was ever insite though. Deo was very respectful to the girl that helped him out also.
