Supporting Characters

     A supporting character in The Sign of the Beaver, by Elizabeth George Speare, might be Attean because he is always showing how to survive, and Matt is always needing to survive in the wild. Attean is always doing most of the things that Matt wants to do, like hunt for food, which shows that he is a supporting character. Attean only shows that he is a supporting character through his actions. Matt is not doing what Attean is doing because he doesn't want to fall into the Native American ways of life.
