Question 1
Based on the novel
you have studied, write about the most admirable character, and give reasons for your answer.
Answer
The novel I have studied is Captain Nobody by Dean Pitchford. This story
is about Newton (Newt) Newman, who is a quiet, often-ignored 10-year-old boy
who lives with his busy parents and football star brother, Chris. He loves his
family very much and is a responsible and caring person. On Halloween, Newt’s best
friends JJ and Cecil show prove their friendship by helping him make a costume,
and he calls himself Captain Nobody. He becomes a superhero who does many brave
things until his town acknowledges him as a courageous superhero. The most admirable character is Newton (Newt)
Newman, also known as Captain Nobody. There are many reasons why I admire him.
The first reason why I admire Newt is he loves his family very much. Newt Newman prepares breakfast for
his family every morning. He takes over from his mother when he catches her
pouring milk into a bowl filled with strips of raw turkey. He scrambles a
platter of eggs and cooks up some sausages, and makes coffee. He also reminds
his mother about things that she forgets about because she is too busy. Newt
also wakes his brother up to get ready for school. In my opinion, Newt prepares
breakfast for his family because he sees that his mother is busy and he wants
to help her. He also wants his family to have food to eat. This shows that Newt loves his family very much.
Another reason why Newt is the most admirable character is he is a good friend. Captain Nobody gets a summons
over his walkie-talkie. It was Cecil, asking Captain Nobody to meet him in an
alley. Captain Nobody is reluctant to go at first, but in the end he goes to
meet his sidekick and friend. He finds Cecil next to a Dumpster. Cecil asks
Captain Nobody to climb the Dumpster to take down a big bass drum that has been
left there. Initially, Captain Nobody hesitates because he is afraid of
heights, but then Cecil says that Captain Nobody is fearless. This gives
Captain Nobody the strength to cast aside his fears. He climbs the Dumpster and
retrieves the bass drum for his friend, Cecil. I admire Captain Nobody because
he is willing to fight his fear of heights to help his friend, Cecil. This proves that Newt is a very good friend.
The
third reason why Newt is the most admirable character is he is very brave. Newt
happens to see a television showing news that Reggie Ratner has climbed the
Appleton Water Tower and is about to commit suicide. It is said that Reggie is
feeling depressed because everyone blames him for causing Chris Newman’s coma.
Even though he doesn’t want to be Captain Nobody anymore, Newt knows that he
has to rescue Reggie Ratner because he knows Reggie wasn’t the one who caused
Chris’ coma. JJ and Cecil sneak out of school together with Newt, who quickly
put on the Captain Nobody costume once more. At the water tower, his friends
distract the police officer so that Captain Nobody could get to the ladder
leading to the top of the water tower. Captain Nobody is afraid of heights, but
he doesn’t want Reggie to jump off the tower, so he climbs the rusty ladder
until he gets to the roof. There, he learns that Reggie wasn’t about to jump
off. The older boy actually climbed the water tower to spray graffiti there,
but his foot is now stuck in the rotten wood. Captain Nobody helps to free
Reggie’s foot and helps him climb down the water tower. Captain Nobody, JJ, and
Cecil become heroes in the eyes of the town for the daring and successful rescue. In this
event, Captain Nobody proves that he is very brave to
climb the water tower to rescue Reggie even though he is actually afraid of
heights. I think this
is very admirable of him.
In
conclusion, Newt Newman,
also known as Captain Nobody, is the most admirable character in the novel Captain Nobody.
