Novel Captain Nobody : Character Traits + Evidence, Opinoin (3)
CHARACTER TRAIT : DETERMINATION
This is shown when Newton Newman helps Cecil to get a big bass drum from the top of a dumpster. Cecil calls Captain Nobody to help him get the drum because he cannot get it down by himself. Cecil insists that Captain Nobody is the one who should climb the dumpster. At first, Newt hesitates to climb the dumpster as he is an acrophobic. However, when he disguises as Captain Nobody, he feels more confident to overcome his fear of height. He is determined to help his best friend and continues climbing the dumpster. He almost gives up in the beginning but later succeeds. He carefully passes the drum to his sidekick, Cecil who is waiting with open arms on the ground.
During the Big Game, Chris shows his determination to win. At first Merrimac is leading. Without giving up, Chris and his teammates go on fighting. Chris finds his way for a touchdown. He manages to bring victory to Fillmore for the second time.
OPINION
This shows that Newt is a determined person. If I were Newt, as a ten-year-old boy, I would not have that great determination to climb the dumpster. His action has inspired me to be determined in facing challenges in life.
Determination will lead us to success. Chris’s determination to win paid off although he is knocked down. We should practice determination in our life so that we can achieve success. Being determined will bring us the victory that we deserved.
