Characterization of Red Pyramid

In Red Pryamid it says "' We're prisoners,' she said. 'Do you think Amos... I mean, can we trust him?' After all I'd seen today I didn't trust anything, but I could hear the fear in Sadie's voice. It triggered an unfimilar feeling in me, like I needed to reassure her. The idea seemed ridiculous. Sadie had always seemed so much braver then me- doing what what she wanted , never caring abou the consequnces. I was the one who got scared. But, right now, I felt like I needed to play a role I hadn't played in a long, long time: big brother." (Riordan 60)

From the text we see that Carter charcterizes himself as the weaker or not as brave s his sister because Carter is always the one to stop and think things through while Sadie as Carter mentioned does what she wants without caring about the consequneces. You can also characterize Carter as cautious because he doesn't want to trust Amos just yet after the explosion at the British Museum and their father being emtombed in a sarcophagus  that sank through the floor after my dad was talking to a shimering firey figure, well let's just say I wouldn't trust someone who took me to New York from London in about five minutes on a boat. Amos also is very mysterious and doesn't tell the kids anything leaving them to wonder why things are the way they are. Whenever they ask what's going on the response is always very mysterious like, "Now isnot a good time to talk, moring is better." something to that effect that has an erie feeling. Sadie on the other hand is more reckless then Carter but in this passage we see more of her weak side. Carter characterizes her as braver then him and  carfree almost. We see this from Sadie before this when she doesn't go to the car like her Dad asked when he came to pick her up for their visitation day and he had Carter go get Sadie while he talked to Amos. Instead of going to the car Sadie decides she's going to figure out who thier dad is talking to since Carter went to go get her when the arrived and thier dad went to talk to Amos. Anyway she goes James Bond and hides behind trees and goes up the street some so they can over hear the arugement that their dad is having with this man (Amos) leaving Carter no choice but to follow her. But here in this passage we see how Carter living with their father ,who is an archaeologist, and traveling the world and Sadie living with their Grandparents in London after their mom died has effected thier relationship, along with the fact that Sadie is braver than Carter and is usally the one reassuring Carter we don't normally see this situation happen, where Carter has to convince Sadie that everything is fine.
