QUESTION 1:14. What other character(s) beside the main character is really important to the story? How and why?

RESPONSE 1: At the moment, I think the character Alan Blunt is important because, he was the one whose Alex Riders uncle worked for; Ian Rider. The book right now is starting to build up to the climax because in the beginning I found out that Ian Rider had died. Ian Rider was in a car crash, but that was a lie until later in the book Alex finds out someone shot him, multiple times. Ian Rider was on a mission for Alan Blunt to go undercover to go find out what Darrius Sayle is up to. Now Alex Rider is taking the responsibility to finish up the mission that Ian Rider didn't. The mission is called Stormbreaker. As Mr Sayle is giving away free computers with a file named stormbreaker that contains a virus, and is going to go all over London, and hack thru security systems. Alan Blunt is really important because he knows how to get through securitys and is preparing Alex to get ready to go undercover. Without Alan, Alex would have gone back to America, but Alan is kind of blackmailing Alex. If Alex helps Alan, Alan helps Alex to stay in London. Another thing is that Alan controls the mission he knows where to go and where not to go, as he plans out everything. Also he is training Alex for becoming an undercover spy.


QUESTION 2:8. What do you think about a particular character's actions? Was he/she right or wrong to do that?

RESPONSE 2: Well I think Alan should not prepared have Alex for this mission. The reason I think its wrong is because Alan is putting Alex's life in danger, just like his uncle. On the otherhand since Alex wanted to stay in London and not go back to America, its Alex's fault also. I think also that Alex is brave enough to go to the training camp and finish off the mission for his uncle. Right now he just finished the camp and is heading back to Alan Blunt leader of the M16's.
