The dimensions Halliday used in Shooting Monarchs are physical, emotional, intellectual, and social. Several characters play an important role in this book, but the main character is Danny Driscoll. Danny is a boy born with congenital scoliosis causing him to be unable to do simple tasks, like tying his shoes. Growing up with no parents, Danny lived in a poor neighborhood with his grandmother. They had very little money. All of the dimensions of health deal with Danny. His spinal problems are physical, intellectually he was very smart, and his lack of popularity deals with social health. Emotional and spiritual health tie in with the whole story. Danny’s favorite thing to do was go up on a hill and photograph Monarch Butterflies. His love for these butterflies show appreciation and acceptance of all things and his time alone displays his search for existence. Most importantly is Danny’s display of emotional health. For Danny to help deal with all of his problems, he thinks of Leah Hoffman, the girl of his dreams.
