The main characters in Boy, by Justin Denzel, include a 14 year old boy named Tao, the trusty Ram, wise Graybeard, and the leader Volt. In this 158 paged story, young Tao loves to paint and draw but it is against the rules of his clan, or taboo. Tao meets a man named, Graybeard, who helps Tao become a cave painter.
The conflict in Boy started from Tao's dream. His dream is to become a cave painter, but can not. If he paints and he is not the chosen one, he is committing taboo. Tao doesn't really care that he could be deathly punished for the painting or the drawing. His heart was set on cave painting, so he didn't let anyone stop him. No matter what happened, Tao kept believing in himself. That is the main conflict in Boy.
