ø Name: Deren. I chose this name because it sound a lot like it would suit him. Deren means 'bird'.
Deren also is called Mudpie or Splatter, though, because of his brown speckles. he isn't fond of
the names, but he lives with them anyway.
Deren is also picked on a lot because of who he is and what he looks like. They say he looks like
dirt, so they should treat him like dirt too. But they also say his way of thinking is too logical for
his age. But thats what makes him special. Thats what makes him who he is.
ø Favourite word or phrase: Hakuna Matata, because it means 'no worries'.
ø Three things he would say which give an indication of who he is:
•"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment,"
•"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first,"
•"My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can,"
