Carl Freeman has not had an easy moment in his life from losing his parents at an early age to bouncing around the foster care system because he just can't help sticking up for those being bullied - but was something bigger in the works?
Carl was a character that from the beginning I grew to love and fight for - I wanted what was best for him. I loved the different characters beyond Carl, they were all crafted so perfectly to revolve around him and the struggles that he was facing. The concept of this far away camp that raises boys to be mercenaries isn't far from reality in parts of the world and it was hard at times to read and realize that thought.
