Since I haven't truly gone over the character in the book I'd like to take this post to explain the character and their emotions throughout the novel...

• Dr. Paul Farmer- A very intellectual man with a heart of gold and an impressive drive. He never gives up on what he believes in and he puts others before himself. He simply wishes he could cure everyone everywhere, which of course is impossible for one man to achieve, but he still tries his best at all times, which is inspiring for all of us. He continutes to impress me with his perserverance because Haiti and medicine are his life, which he has diligently given up for the goodness of more people. If everyone in the world were more like Paul Farmer, the world would be a significantly better place, one of peace and serenity and definitely no more disease and poverty.
• Ophelia Dahl- She is the daughter of Roald Dahl and a magnificent thinker and has a thought provoking mind. She meets Farmer in the slums of Haiti, where there personalities mix and the become the best of friends. She also a very intelligent being, strives to help Farmer with his medical expeditions but refuses to marry him because of his love for Haiti and medicine as opposed to having a normal life. Being friends is just fine with her because then she can help when she pleases and still live a conforming life.
• Tom White- A fabulously wealthy man who wishes to better the world, just in a different way than Farmer is. He frequently visits Haiti and gives money to many of the poor people living in the streets. He is the go-to guy whenever Farmer is need of money or help in Haiti. He is an intelligent man who has his heart in the right place because he is trying to help the innocent victims of Haiti.
• Jim Kim/ Father Jack- Both friends of Paul Farmer and wish to help him on his medical inquiries. As a team they work in Lima, Peru an extremely inpoverished place with many slums and disease. They consistently call Farmer for help and also have their hearts in the right places. When Father Jack dies from TB, Jim Kim keeps going on his project, not ever giving up on his dream of helping the poverty and their disease.
