Alex Rider Character

      The main character of the book Alex Rider Point Blank is, well, Alex Rider. Alex is adventurous and courageous. Alex is considered adventurous because he acts reluctant to going on these missions but on the inside Alex is really very happy about the agency sending him away. He goes on adventures and on these missions all over the world, this time in the French Alps, and he enjoys them deep down. Alex is courageous because when the agency sends him in to gather certain intelligence about anything that is going on, he is courageous and gives it a hundred and ten percent instead of chickening out in the presence of a firearm. He strides to go into the midst of the fighting and get involved and to help. The narrator says ", Sometimes he wished that the whole business with M16 had never happened. But at the same time-he had to admit it-part of him wanted it all to happen again." (Page 13). This proves that Alex is adventurous because he thrives on the feeling of danger and activity as well as the adventure of it all. Alex says during a firefight ", Give me a gun!'...'No I’ve got orders. At the first sign of trouble, you're to get out of the way...'" (Page 196) Since Alex is in a gunfight and has orders to hide he should hide but since Alex is so courageous, he wants to get in the fight and help out. I have just finished this book so I know what happens to him, but I will predict what will happen to him as the series goes on. I believe as I get into the later books I believe that Alex will become more wise and better at his job because of his passion and will power.
