Last week, I posted four photos and people voted which one they liked as a main character for YA fiction. This week, I’d like you to choose an antagonist for this teen main character. An antagonist doesn’t have to be a villain. It just someone or something that prevents the main character from achieving her goal in the story. So please put in the comments who you would pick.

NO. 4
I was going to say Number 3, but in light of Jim Toner’s suggestion, sure, let’s go with Number 4!
I’m undecided. Numbers 1 and 3 could be problems with parent/child relationships. 2 and 4 could be relationship problems with friends/lovers. As for number 4 alone, advice from my wise grandparents came to mind: “Never trust a well-dressed man with his hands in his pockets.”
Words to live by.
