Based on the novel Captain Nobody written by Dean Pitchford, a
character who had affected others is Cecil Butterworth. He was Newton Newman’s classmate and one of his best friends too. Below are the reasons to support my statement. Firstly, Cecil Butterworth was a determined young boy who had a dream to own a bass drum. His determination had pushed Newton Newman to overcome his fear of heights. For instance, he gave words of encouragement for Newton Newman to climb the Dumpster to get a big bass drum for him. He called Newton through a walkie talkie and asked him to come to Warren and Kander Street in three minutes time. When Newton arrived, Cecil asked him to get the bass drum on top of the Dumspter for him. Newton was reluctant as he was fear of heights and told Cecil to take it by himself. However Cecil told him as a fearless Captain Nobody In short, it has proven that Cecil’s great determination had encouraged Newton to overcome his fear of heights. I really adore his positive characteristic and would duplicate it so that I could spread it to others.
