Jack Bolster’s Reviews > City of Bones > Status Update

Jace is a the type of person who cannot leave the past behind him and move on in life. For instance, in the text it says, "The smile faded from Jace's mouth. "That's not my home, " he said. This is my home now." Jace is referring to the home he used to live in with his father. He cannot forget his father and live somewhere else. This proves that he lacks the character trait lonesome. (463)

Clary is a very caring person to her very good friends and makes sure nothing terrible happens to them. Simon turned in to a rat and Clary is being very protective to keep him alive until the spell wears off. For instance, in the text it states, "Who cares about the stupid law?" Clary screamed, grabbing hold of Isabelle's wrist. "My best friend is a rat!" (238) This shows that she is scared and has to see him.

Jace has become a much nicer person to everyone since Clary has come along to the Shadow Hunter group. Even though he has become a whole lot nicer this niceness has mostly been to Clary. For instance, in the text it states, "She jumped. The impact stung her feet, but she didn't fall. She swung around in triumph to find Jace watching her. "I would have helped you down, he said." (78) This shows him being nicer.

Clary overreacts about many things. She gets outraged about something or someone before she even met the person. For instance int eh text it said, "That's impossible! My mother would have never-she was only ever married to my father. She didn't have an ex-husband." (149) This shows that she does get outraged over these types of problems. She has never met her father. She believes all the bad things said.

Isabelle can be very rude to other people at times. She doesn't realize how nasty she is being and how it might hurt someone else's feelings. For instance, in the book it states, " Oh, and there's soap in the bathroom," she added. "You might want to clean up a little. You smell." This proves that Isabelle is mean by instead of complimenting or being nice to someone she is rude by making a complaint. (61)

Clary is a very has a very brave personality. When she saw two men with a knife she followed them and called them out for it. For instance, in the text it states, "Clary could take no more. She stepped out from behind the pillar. "Stop!" she cried. "You can't do this." This proves that she spoke up and stood up for the boy who had been captured and tortured. (12).
