    I wonder how many times the book talks about Desperauxs brother s and sisters?

    Gregory is a human who works in the dungeon as a jailer. (page 77) He loves stories. He ties a rope around his ankles. This is smart because it keeps him from getting lost in the dungeon.

    Roscuro is a rat and he is different from his kind because when Gregory the jailer lights a mach and puts it in the rats face the other rats look away however Roscuro look right in the light on page.94
    also he is very curious like when he went upstairs to the banquet hall to see the light on page.106


    Also he was born in the dark duneon and he still loves with the light.

    Roscuro is a rat that is different than others because rats dont like light but roscuro oddly does like light.

    Roscuro was born into the filth and darkness of the duneon.(page 85)

    Roscuros behavior is brave because he nibbles on gregorys rope and is being asked to apologize but he says "no" (pag 87)

    Chiaroscuro is a rat who lives in the dungeon. I think he is fearless and independent because when Gregory yells at him to stop biting his rope he says NO! (page 86)

    He is different than the other rats because he loves light. (page 89). He says 'I think the meaning of life is light" (page 88) He reminds me of Despereaux because he does not conform to what others think.
