The main characters
in the book Please Ignore Vera Dietz are Vera, Charlie and Ken, Vera’s dad. Vera
is a full time high school senior and full time pizza delivery girl at Pagoda’s
Pizza. Charlie, although he is dead plays a big part in the book. There are
many flash back moments and the occasional Brief word from the dead guy. Ken
Dietz is a recovered alcoholic who has been trying his best to raise Vera as a
single parent ever since her mother left when she was 12. The setting of the
book is set in eastern Pennsylvania and at the Pagoda, a place that kids
like to hang out and where Vera and Charlie used to throw paper airplanes they
make out of their homework. Vera has kept all of Charlie’s secrets, even after
he betrayed her. When Charlie dies under mysterious circumstances and is framed
for something he didn't do it’s up to Vera to clear his name, but does she even
want to? The previous is the conflict of the book, Vera must decide whether she
wants to clear Charlie’s name even though he betrayed her. A prediction I have
for this book is that she will forgive Charlie and maybe even clear his name in
the end.
