What does it mean to become emotionally attached to characters in a novel?

Answer
My best friend is a Cro-magnon woman. She has lived on her own for three years and ended up being the first person to train a horse and a cave lion. She knows how to hunt with a sling and arrows. She knows how to heal with herbs and a little special powers. Most importantly, she doesn't exist, so she - technically - isn't really my best friend. BUT, I've lived with her since the 80s. Her author created her before I found out she existed and her author has just finished the sixth book about her, which I happily received for Christmas. I can't read it yet. It takes her author 7 years to write a book (because she has to keep up with the archeology about Cro-magnons, of course), so every time a new book comes out, my best friend needs to come back in my life. I start back a few books, to catch up on how things went in my friend's life and then I can find out, "What's new?"
I will miss her some time next year. She's still with me now, because I'm back a few books and can spend some time with her. BUT, next year is the last in the series. Since my best friend has been a friend since she was 7, and Cro-magnons only lived into their mid 20s, it seems obvious she will die at the end of the next book. That breaks my heart, but you don't give up friendships when you know the friend will die.
Who is my best friend? Ayla - the Cro-magnon raised by Neanderthals. She's from the series called "Earth's Children", but the first book is "Clan of the Cave Bear."
Did that work for you to answer your question? I'm fully aware that saying my best friend is fiction and someone I've never met is off the charts for "loony bin time," but hey, that's what a good story does for us. We feel like the characters became our best friend.
My other best friends? Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, Laura Ingles (never did like Mr. Wilder ruining our friendship), Jo, Conrad, Valentine, and so many more over the years. lol

What kind of wood is good for bow making?
Future Mar
I need to have a diagram or a good wood type to make a plains indian bow. I need to know what kind of wood the plains indians used because I live in the plains
Also, I want the authentic and natural way. Not with man made Items. How you would make it like as if you would if you were surviving in Palo Duro Canyon.

Head over to these websites and forums:

There you will find information and instructions regarding the building of self bows -- bows made of one piece of wood. Also arrows, composite bows, atlatls, slings, traps, etc....
For books on making bows and arrows, these two websites offer the best books:
http://boisdarcpress.com/
http://horsefeathersranch.com/
The "Traditional Bowyer's Bible" series (currently 4 volumes) is what every serious bowyer should have on their shelf. I also recommend "Bows & Arrows of The Native Americans" by Jim Hamm -- pretty much what you need, considering your desire to make Native American (specifically, Plains Indian) gear.
As for what woods to use... Ash (nearly any kind of Ash), Osage Orange, Maple, Elm, Shagbark Hickory, Curl-leaf Mountain Mahogany, Birch-leaf Mountain Mahogany, Desert Willow, Redosier Dogwood, Juniper (Western, Rocky Mountain and "plain" Juniper), Texas Mulberry, Hophornbeam, Common Chokecherry, Douglas Fir, Oak (nearly any kind), Locust (Black, Honey and "Bristly"), Yew. There are more, but not enough room here to list them all.
The "better" woods are Ash, Osage Orange and Yew -- but the wood used would depend on the location of the group/person making the bow. For example, a Northern Plains group would likely use a wood found on or near the Northern Plains, although Osage orange (which is a Southern/Central Plains wood) would sometimes be "imported" for use. Also, the wood used depends on the bow's actual design -- Yew is not a good choice for a flatbow, Ash is not good for a "traditional" ("English") longbow, while Osage Orange is good for most flatbow and longbow designs. Elm, only slightly easier to work with than Osage orange, is also good for longbows and flatbows, but is harder to work with than Yew.
Just one thing... To make a bow without resorting to using "man-made" items, you will have to carve it out with only your teeth and fingernails. All bow-making tools, no matter the material they are made from, are "man-made". Lucky for you I know what you meant: "paleo" or "Primitive".
