ANALYSIS: WHAT KIND OF GIRL IS MACY?
    When Macy is a supporting character or an antagonist, she is usually outgoing and popular. She comes from money and she flaunts it. But alternatively, when Macy is a protagonist, she is usually shy and struggling to overcome the death of a family member. Both protagonists are the grounding support in their families even though Sarah Dessen’s Macy is an only child and Maureen Johnson’s Mayzie suffers from middle-child syndrome.
