What would you sat to your main character right now?

I would ask them how they felt about the red kayak being underwater beneath them, and how close he actually was to Ben.  How long were you depressed about Ben's death and why were you the only one that was extremely depressed about it?  How did you feel when you were depressed about Ben and why did you feel that way?  How long have you known Ben?  How often do you go fishing or fish with your friends?  Did you have any other siblings besides your sister?

I would ask them those questions because I really want to get to know them better because the book probably didn't mention some more facts about him.
