hahaha, that line makes me laugh.
I'm gonna answer question 3 in this post.
protagonists, antagonists, foils, blahblahblahblahblah - I mean... YAAAY!
okay, but really.
protagonist is Amanda. straight up. she drives the story. she's the one that's making things happen. the mover, shaker, producer, etc... without her, the story would be going even less nowhere. (even more nowhere?) so she's the main character.
antagonists then would be Tom and Laura. mostly because, well, they're the other two. they're important to the story, and they motivate a lot of Amanda's behavior. I would also put the father in as an antagonist since multiple times (especially when talking about courting) Amanda refers to him, which introduces a revival of a glory-day memory for Amanda.
they're all foils of each other as well, I think.
Tom is a go-getter. he wants to make things better for himself - Laura is pretty content with falling through the cracks - Amanda wants the best for her children and tries to motivate them (maybe too strongly) to do what SHE thinks they should be doing.
Jim foils all three of them as well because he seems to be very socially adept and friendly, while the others tend to err on the side of awkward and too forthright/quiet.
