Arnold Friend is an antagonist, yes. He opposes the protagonist, who is Connie. Antagonists are not always evil and villainous, though, but in this case, he is evil and has the worst of intentions. Arnold is a strange man who certainly could be the devil in disguise, according to eNotes:Many critics have suggested that Arnold Friend is the devil in disguise. He has trouble balancing on his small feet—hooves?—and the make-up on his face...

Connie's characteristics include arrogance, vanity, and naivety. She is manipulative, as well. Her vanity is one of the reasons that she falls victim to Arnold Friend. She is obsessed with her appearance and she gauges her self-worth by it. This is one of the reasons that she is an easy target for Arnold Friend. eNotes also points out that:She is deeply romantic, as shown by her awareness of popular song lyrics, but she is interested...

The external conflict of the story is the fact that Arnold Friend, who appears to be sexual predator of some sort, seeks out Connie to take her from her parents' home. The reason he succeeds is because of Connie's internal conflict. Her internal conflict stems from the fact that she has no sense of who she is, and only measures herself by gauging other's opinions. She "[checks] other people's faces to make sure her own [is] all...

The numbers means the book, chapter, and verse in the bible and it is also the devil's number: 3+3=6, 17+19=36/ square root the 36=6,6. Put that together and you get 666. Or if you add up all of the numbers it will equal 69. It could mean what most poeple think 69 means (adult rated). But it is also goes with connie About being two-sided since you canflip both #'s to make each other. Also the number 69 if you put the #'s close and connect the...

In the story Arnold is shown as a fake from his hair to feet to voice. if you see his name "ARNOLD FRIEND", Take away the "r" in his first name and separate the "an" and "old" you get "AN OLD FRIEND" which in the bible usually means the devil.Also with Ellie oscar, if you say his name it will probably sound like " A LIAR'S CAR" which is refers to Arnold. Ellie is really just an...

Connie's looks are very important to her and to this story, yes. Connie was a vain, conceited person who was deceitful and manipulative, and she used her looks to her advantage. What Connie did not realize was that her vanity and arrogance were big problems that ended up causing an even bigger problem for her...the possibility of losing her life. She let her vanity get in the way of seeing Arnold Friend for the dangerous man he was. ...

Arnold Friend, of course, finds her attractive. Connie is a beautiful teenager. However, Arnold also knows that Connie is vain and that she can be manipulated by using her vanity to lure her, which he does. He can sense that this is her main weakness, one that he can use to get to her. Unfortunately, Connie does realize that the vanity she has will be part of what causes her eventual death at the hands of Arnold Friend. He is able to...
