Tommorow when the War Began - series.Character study Homer.

Homer Yannos is big, dark, about seventeen years old, and Greek. His favourite hobbies before the war were pulling pranks on unsuspecting bystanders, winding up the girls at school so they call him names like 'sexist', and generally being a huge pain who refuses to like sport. His parents are both Greek farmers, and he has one brother, George, a serious, vain older brother. Homer tells George before the camp " 'Just don't go woggy with the bulls and put oil through their coats.' He said to me, 'Poppa's got a forty-four gallon drum of oil in the shed, especially for George on Saturday nights.' As George was not known for his sense of humour, I kept my eyes down and had another mouthful of tabbouli." 1
Homer is a very laid-back guy. He jokes about his Greek heritage, and even makes up games about it. One game he played at school was called 'Greek Roulette'. He and his friends would find an empty room in the school during lunchtime and take turns walking up and bashing their heads again...
