“We must be brave to do the right thing”
Based on the novel that you have read, provide incidents from the novel that support this
statement.

Based on the novel Captain Nobody by Dean Pitchford, the story is about a timid boy named
Newton Newman who disguises himself as the superhero named Captain Nobody to help
people around him. Through events in the story, we can see that bravery was portrayed
very clearly to the readers.

Firstly, Newt bravely climbs the dumpster to get the drum for his friend. In the story, Cecil
asked Newt, who is afraid of heights, to help him get the drum from the dumpster. Newt did
not want to help at first but he cares for his friend’s safety. As Captain Nobody, Newt helped
Cecil. I think we must be brave to do the right thing because we (must) risk our life to care
and help friends like they are family to us.

/Secondly, Newt bravely saves Ferocious the Ferret . In the novel, Ferocious the Ferret was
the school team mascot and he was Newton’s responsibility. So, he chased after the ferret
and stopped the traffic on the highway in the process. This allows an airplane with an engine
problem to land safely, saving the passengers’ life. We must be brave to do the right thing
because if it were not for a simple deed of responsibility, a bigger catastrophe would have
happened. We (should) never neglect our responsibility, big or small.
