The novel that I have read is Captain

Nobody by Dean Pitchford. Maintaining


relationship is important. This is shown by a
character named Newton Newman or also
known as Captain Nobody. The reasons I
choose Newton is because he maintains
relationship when he helps Cecil to get the big
bass drum. He also maintains his relationship
with JJ when he responds to JJ’s request at
the jewellery store. And finally, he also helps
Reggie Ratner at Appleton Water Tower.

Firstly, Newton maintains his relationship


with Cecil when he helps him to get the big
bass drum at the dumpster. In the novel,
Cecil found a big bass drum but he could not
get it because he is short. So, he called
Newton to help him as he is afraid of height,
but finally he managed to get it. I think
Newton is a good friend who always helps
people in trouble. In our life, we are
encouraged to be kind to one another.
Next, Newt maintains his relationship
with JJ when he willingly helps JJ at the
Sullivan jewellery store. In the novel, JJ called
Newt to go to Sullivan jewellery store to talk
to Sullivan couple about the grammar and
spelling mistakes on the board. Even though
Newt was rushing home, for the sake of their
friendship, Newt went there instead. And
unexpectedly a robbery was happening when
they arrived there. The two friends were
scared their hearts out. In my opinion, Newt
always think about others first especially his
best friends even though he himself is in
trouble. We also should appreciate the value
of friendship in our life.
Thirdly, Newt maintains his relationship
with everyone including his enemy, Reggie
Ratner. This is shown when Reggie climbed
up Appleton Water Tower and everyone
thought that he wanted to commit suicide.
But, being a responsible person, Newt went
to the scene and explained the truth about
the Big Tackle. Reggie Ratner was not the
cause of Chris being in coma. Hence, Newt
wanted to improve his relationship with
Reggie, he is willing to overcome his fear of
height and climbed the water tower instead.
In my opinion, Newt is responsible and brave
and he did that action to maintain his
relationship with Reggie. In our life,
sometimes, we must willingly overcome our
fears in order to maintain our relationship
with others.
In a nutshell, Newt maintains his
relationship with everyone he knows
regardless of who they are. Be it his best
friends or enemy, he tries to help both and
make things easy for them.
