Three Character Traits Of James

James was never aloud to leave the house to play with other children and there was no one on the hill to keep him company, not even a dog or cat.

James is made to chop wood while his aunts sit and watch him.  He is not allowed to stop for break and is given no time to rest even though he is only a child.

Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker keep James locked up on the hill and never let him leave.
