The Recruit by Robert Muchamore
Imagine being bullied and beaten all your life at school,and the only person you can trust is your shoplifting and alcoholic mother. But one day you arrive home and find your mother lying on the couch, frozen,dead. Tossed into a world of nightmares you choose to join a bunch of criminals and your life changes forever in seconds. You are invited to a secret organization called Cherub who desperately need people like you.You are forced to give up your real identity and demanded to live under the rules.
This is the tough life of James Choke, the main character in the book The Recruit by Robert Muchamore. Even though his life was full of hatred and violence, deep inside he is just a 13 years old boy. His appetite for adventure, his perseverance and his kindness really inspires me.
First of all, James is incredibly fearless. He had to kill a chicken by plunging a sharp pencil into the back of its head, fight a black-belt until he was beaten half to death and finally retrieve a brick from the bottom of the pool.But that was the hardest of all because he was terribly afraid of water. Quote “James felt shivers down his spine but he knew he had to overcome it.He cleared his mind,took deep breaths and dived into the pool.”
As well as being courageous, James is also persistant. He had to survive 1000 hours in the rain forest.On his journey he had to endure 20 mosquito bites, a venomous snake bite,a broken leg,dreadful blisters on his feet and he nearly got malaria. He had no water nor food so he drank coconuts and fruit juice and ate snake meat and fish. His achievement proved that winners never quit, and quitters never win.
My final point is that James is a very thoughtful person.After James and Lauren’s mother died he became responsible and all he thought about was Lauren’s safety. Quote “Their mum’s corpse was two feet away with a blanket on top. James was freaking, but he tried to keep a lid on himself to stop Lauren getting worse.”
