Lee otherwise known as Luke Garner, is a young man whom until recently was a “illegal”. A illegal in this story is a cat dog or any third plus child; they have this rule because in this fiction the population is to great and rations aren’t enough to uphold the whole population if it keeps growing. His character is that of a supporting character in the beginning since he was just pushed around or had to be told how to act. Even though he was considered a legal child he still kept a fear and sadness for he missed his real family, no matter his yearning to go to school his fear overcame his desire and was too great to bring a happy moment for him to relax.
As the story progresses he is bullied by his roommates and feels hurt but looks forward to change and adaption to his new scenario, though he still acts cautious for there might be bugs planted with the school which if discovered means his death. With a note from mr. Talbot which just said “blend in” he had lost his hope for most part, but stuck to the words he was given as held a bitter side for them. Trying to be daring he observes his roommates (and school building), but in fear they may look back he keeps to himself since his heart wasn’t ready to truly confront people outside of the 6 he knows.
The woods were the only thing bringing him closer to his home which he missed dearly even though he had to hide his whole life. He went there weekly in secret and tried to escape into his world of thought and plan to escape his school. But one day to his amazement he found a group of illegal children like him and thought he was suspected he found piece within there ranks because he had lost jen and being with them replaced his sadness.
