Maniac Heart

The reason behind why I picked a heart is because I think it matches Maniac’s personality.In the text it said that Maniac was helpful and kind he was helping with Hester and Lester. Maniac also helped other little kid with there shoes and when Maniac met Amanda he was very kind and they started talking.The other reason I used a heart is because he had nowhere to go and no place to call home so Amanda’s family let Maniac stay at there house. The way that part connects to Maniac being kind is that he felt loved by Amanda’s family and plus Maniac is an orphan.Before Amanda’s family took Maniac in he slept at the zoo but when Maniac lived at the zoo in a shed he was still kind and gave an animal a scarf.
