        <description><![CDATA[M&amp;M the candy was named for it's inventor and a stock holder.The inventor, Forrest Mars, Sr., was the founder of the Mars Company.  The other M was for Bruce Murrie, the son of the Hershey's president who had a 20% stake in the endeavor. M&amp;M, the character, was given the nickname due to his addiction to the candy.  Even his parents referred to him by this name.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The name of the candy M &amp; M stands for Mars and Murrie. Forest Mars was the founder of the Mars candy company; Bruce Murrie was the son of the president of Hershey's. The &quot;m&quot; stands for each of their last names. The character M&amp;M is Cathy's brother. His name is more ironic than symbolic. He's &quot;addicted&quot; to M &amp; M candies the way others in the book are genuinely addicted to drugs. ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Check the character descriptions and how they relate to the personalities of the animals involved. Mark as a lion - generally docile in a comfortable setting but a fierce hunter and dangerous when threatened. Bryon as a St. Bernard - trusting, loving, idealistic. But with that in mind, what kind of animal could you compare Bryon to at the ending since he isn't those things anymore?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The book doesn't exactly tells us what happens to M&amp;M. Although, the doctor says that M&amp;M will never be the same since his use of drugs. At one point, Bryon sees M&amp;M again and mentions that it was as if it wasn't M&amp;M. He changed. I guess that their friendship ended. Just like Bryon's love for Cathy.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[M&amp;M gets upset since he just almost got beat up because he was different. Mark and Byron would be beatting up the black guy for the same reason. M&amp;M knows how it feels to be different, he doesn't want to get beat up for it, neither does the black guy. &#160;It would also be racist, btw o.o]]></description>
