CAPTAIN NOBODY

By: Zurin Irdina M. Said

 QUESTION:

Based on the novel you have read, write

about a character whom you consider
exemplary. Give reasons why he/she is a
model. Support your answer with
refference from the text.
 The novel that I have learnt is Captain
Nobody by Dean Pitchford. The story is about a
ten year old boy named Newt who found his
inner other when he first wore the Captain
Nobody costume. He had gone through many
difficulities during his life journey. The
character that I consider as exemplery is
Newtan Newman.
 The first reason why Newt is a role model to me
is because Newt is brave. There was one time when
Cecil asked Newt to help him retrieve a big bass drum
from the dumpsters. It was hard for Newt because he
had a fear of heights but, for Cecil, he finally climbed up
the dumpster and passed down the drum. In my opinion,
for a child that was scared of height like Newt, it was
something impressive to do. This can prove that Newt
is not just an ordinary kid, but he is wise and mature. It
was a good deed to do and Newt encourages me to help
people in need especially our family and friends.
 The second reason why Newt is a role model to me is
because he is a responsible child. Preparing breakfast had
become his new daily routine since his mom could not be
distracted while doing two things at once. He was also the
one who who was responsible enough to wake Chris up the
morning of the Big Game. In my opinion , Newt had
showcased his maturity and his responsibility by helping his
family to prepare breakfast. To have the youngest member of
the family preparing breakfast is such a good act to take
example from. So, we must make Newt as our role model of
showing our responsibility even if we are the the youngest
in the family.
 The last reason why Newt a role model to me is
because Newt is helpful to people aound him. This is
proven when he helped Mr.Clay held his ankle. Newt
thought that the person must be a drunkard but then he
realized that it was Mr Clay, a locksmith. His mom used
to call him whenever she forgot or lost the keys. The
Newt offered to walk him to his house. He even
introduced himself as Captain Nobody. This can be an
example to us that we should be good to people around
us.
 In a nutshell, Newt is a role model to me. He
potrays various exemplary good values and lesson to
the readers. We must follow Newt’s good values and
spread the good vibes to others.
