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.

                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.

                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 conclusion, Newt Newman, also known as Captain Nobody, is the most admirable character in the novel Captain Nobody.
