Home Land has a cast of vivid and memorable secondary characters. Many of these seem to function as foils to the protagonist, Lewis; in other words, it seems as though we're meant to compare and contrast different aspects of these characters and their actions with Lewis. With your group members, choose two of the following characters and note their similarities and differences to Lewis. What does this comparison reveal about Lewis, or about any of the novel's broader themes? Why do you think the author included this character? Write your answers in your group's Google Doc.
