I wish they had said how tall Marco was. He was alway portrayed as short, but in Visser he came off as a midget when the yeerk was talking bout how even sitting down Marco's mom was taller than him, and Marco's mom wasn't that tall to begin with. so what, would that make him under 5 ft tall? cuz I don't know, I always pictured him around 5'5 or something, but Visser sure did try and change that. I don't know, what do you guys think?
-
I don't really know what the average height of a 12-14 year old person is. However, in the group pictures he isn't much shorter than the rest of them. I never thought of him as very short; just shorter than the rest. Also being picked on by a girl that's tall for her age.
-
If you want to be short for a 13 year old, 4'9" to 4'11" probably. That's around the height of the shortest guys at my school. But, I'd assume he's a little over 5 foot.
-
I allways figured he was about 5'1 or so.
-
i'd say probably 5 foot, give or take a few inches.
-
but by the time Visser came around werent they close to being 16 already if thats already near the end? and at the end they were supposed to be 16? so i dk, to still be shorter than ur short mom when she is sitting down would make u a midget. that was wierd
-
maybe his mom was huge?
-
no cuz they always said she was short. and thats where marco got his shortness from
-
I always picture her sitting on a rock in that scene He was around cassies heigt right? 5'1, 5'2 or something
-
ya, but usually shorter ppl finally get to be taller than sum1 when that person sits down. iono, wierd
-
Maybe she was sitting on something high and the difference in height wasn't all that much.
-
maybe it was an exaggeration?
maybe marco was sitting as well?
could somebody find a direct quote from the book about this?
-
no he was standin, but ur rite i should get a quote. is visser an e-book?
-
all the books are in ebook format, even the alternamorphs.
-
yea it was probably exaggerated
-
yes, it was proly exagerated. one day when i have time ill dig up the quote
-
Here is my guess.
Scratch that. I never thought about heights. When I was reading I didn't imagine up a measuring stick! This is my chart.
From Tall to Short
Ax, Jake, Rachel, Tobias (human), Marco, Cassie, Tobias (bird)
Jake and Rachel were the same height. Ax was higher than them because his lower section is like a young horse, plus a teenagers chest. WAAY taller. Tobias was always just slightly shorter than Rachel. Very slightly. Marco was about an inch shorter than Tobias. Cassie and Marco were the same height. Give or take a centimeter. And then, of course, a red tailed hawk isn't even a yard tall.
-
well, maybe Marco was hurt and slumped or something. and maybe yeah, maybe she was sitting on something high. And marco could have grown more...but then I think he'd still end up being shorter than the rest eventually.
-
Yeah, I doubt he'd be that short. It had to have been exaggerated. And Marco was definitely vertically challenged.
-
lol; wasnt he about the same size as cassie anyways? and cassie nvr got picked on for being short, so it must be exaggerated.
-
yeah, but he's probably still noticeably shorter
-
nah he just got picked on cuz he is a short guy, and dont short guys always get picked on? but i dk, 5'5 marco at the end makes sense.
and i dont think rachel was 6 ft, i always pictured her more as 5'9 or 5'10, and tobias actually about jakes height, just lankier
-
yeah, i don't think Rachel was that tall! maybe model height....maybe shorter...actually, I would think shorter because Rachel had considered dating Marco and a way contrast in height would make it awkward....right?
-

model height is normally about 6 feet or over, but if she was only 13 or 14 then should could have been 5'10" 5'11" on her way to 6 feet or over
i always imagined marco around like 5'4" or something
-
5'4" for Marco sounds about right.
How tall was he in the TV show, anyway? I mean compared to the others.
-
the tv show was so inaccurate she was just normal height if i remember correctly
-
model height? maybe she just looked like a model, and not the height. ...i dun remember
-
are u guys seriously using the T.V series as a reference for this?...... and u call yourself fans.

you might want to read the entire thread before makind assumptions...
-
ya i read the thread, i just dislike the series cause it makes a mockery of a good book, so i tried to change te topic; forgive my impertinence?
-
sure, but you didn't have to. the topic was already changed...
-
whoa, tension...
-
=( what was the topic changed to b4 i made it blatantly obvious?
-
rache's height...using words from the book...
-
uh-huh, well then, i always thought Rachael was just barely above average height
-
she was pretty tall, i thought. i imagined her as the tallest.
-
yes well, Jake was, i think 2nd tallest and he was always described as average in every way, and he wasn't much taller than Marco and Rachael wasn't much taller than Jake
-
i like to think of Rachel as around 5' 7'' or 5' 8''
-
She said in one of the books that she was tall for her age, maybe tall for any age. I don't remember the exact quote. Book 12, maybe?
-
hmmm.....
BTW, hi amy_animorph! hhaha
-
Did it ever say Rachael's parents height? that could be used to help extrapolate how tall Rachael is.
-
i dun think so. not that I recall...
-
i think his mom must have been sitting at a height, so he looked short. I mean, cumon, no 16 yr old cud be THAT short, he would be a midget.
-
exactly,
i think his mom must have been sitting at a height, so he looked short. I mean, cumon, no 16 yr old cud be THAT short, he would be a midget.
exactly, thats what im saying! so it was poorly written it was.
and i always thought by the end rachel woulda been like 5'9 or 5'10
-
yeah, that's average model height.
-

well that was around book 35. I don't think he'd be 16 then. at most, 15 years old, but I get your point.
