Character Sketch

Billy Reston is an engineer, well at least he was one before he had an accident in India, preventing him from ever walking again(pg 37). Now handicapped working as a teacher, he appreciates his life as he's kept a picture from the day of the accident that Will took, showing himself moments before he became crippled. We see that Billy is the first to notice the House expanding, but ignores his judgment, realizing that a house cant possibly expand from the inside.(pg 55) Although he has this broad view on the world with an "almost animal like ability to accept the world as it comes to him". (pg 99).
