Gardo - Coggle Diagram
Gardo
Thin
In Trash, Raphael describes Gardo as 'thin as a whip, with long arms.'
-
Gardo and Raphael don't get enough food and sleep, so they are thinner than your average fourteen-year-old. They are malnourished and sleep-deprived..
Serious
Gardo is serious. Some people even say he's too serious - a boy without a smile. "But what is there to smile about at a dump site?" Gardo says.
Gardo is serious, and he can be mean at times. But he treats Raphael like a brother, and they look out for each other.
Tough
Gardo has taken more beatings than Raphael, and he doesn't let anyone push him around.
Gardo is also not as kind as Raphael, and they keep each other in check.
Part of a team
Gardo and Raphael are a team. They work together for everything, and share everything with each other.
Gardo and Raphael trust each other with their lives. He’s not my brother but he might as well be, because he always knows what I’m thinking, feeling – even what I’m about to say.
Skeptical
Gardo seems to be a bit mean to Rat, sneering at him. I don't think this is nice behaviour, and this confirms my suspicions that Raphael is nicer than Gardo.
‘Oh yes,’ said Gardo, sneering. ‘You really think they’ll give it? You taken in by that?'
Trustworthy
Gardo would never betray Raphael - never. When the police came to Behala, he didn't say anything about Raphael having the bag they were looking for. I could feel Gardo’s eyes fixed on me.
Not as tough as he seems
Gardo is shown to be rough and tough, but Raphael shows that he has one weakness. He's afraid of rats. Gardo got bitten badly a while ago, and his whole hand went bad.
