I am reading a book entitled The Whipping boy.The main characters in the book are Horace and Jemmy.Prince Horace is very bossy and always thinks he should get what ever he wants.He has a nick name called Prince Brat and he does not have to get whipped.Horace has lots of nice clothes.Jemmy is a rat catcher who lived in the streets before he was chosem to become a whipping boy.He can read and write and is a quick solver. I think Prince Horace and Jemmy are more different because one is a sewer boy. Another difference is that Prince Horace does not have to get whipped. This book shares a custom of royalty having a whipping boy. A whipping boy is someone who whips somebody that lays ahdns on the prince. Another example is if the prince misbehaves. Then the whipping boy gets whipped.
