The two main characters in my book are Josie and Alex. Alex is Josie's mother.



Alex is a judge and is superior court judge of Grafton County. She is always late to things, and always busy doing things for work. She has a daughter named Josie that is a senior in high school. Alex had Josie when she was young and her trail advocacy professor, Logan Rourke. He was a married man, and they were having an affair. He left her when he found out that she was pregnant, and told her to get rid of the baby. He told her that because the already had a family and did not want another one. Alex was going to have an abortion, she had scheduled one and forgot to write down the date, and time. She rescheduled the appointment, but it conflicted with her final exam. In the end she did not get an abortion, she thought it was a sign that twice she missed her appointments, so she decided to keep the baby. She is a direct character, because the author comes out to tell us about her. She is one of the main characters that is always in the book, because her daughter was involved in the school shooting and she is the superior judge of the county. That is the main role of Alex Cormier.



Josie Cormier is a senior at Sterling High School. She is a very pretty girl, who thinks her life is all wrong and is living in a world she does not belong in. Josie has been stealing her mother's drugs to kill herself one day. She does not get the chance to do it because her boyfriend comes over that day before school. She is dating Matt, the caption of the Sterling High School. When they get to school they go to class and when it is time for lunch they sit down with all of their friends. Josie feels like she doesn't belong with them, then her and Matt leave the lunch room before the shooter comes in. They are in the locker room when they get shot. Josie passes out when Peter, the shooter, comes in. She hits her head on the bench, and is carried out by the police officer. When she is in the hospital she does not remember anything that has happened, she does not remember that Matt has died. She is an indirected character, because the author does not come out a tell about her. You read on and the author has her mother tell about Josie. That makes her an indirect character in the book. She is one of the main characters, because she is in the school shooting. And that her mother is the judge of the county.

Those are the two main characters in the book Nineteen Minutes. There is many more characters just because of the school shooting.
