Sample answer.

I have read the novel Catch Us If You Can written by Catherine MacPhail. The story is about Rory and Granda running away together from the authority. I want to write about the character I admire which is Rory.

Firstly, I admire Rory because he loves and cares for his Granda. Rory loves and always take care of Granda. For example, he packs Granda's stuffs and medicines before they go on their adventure. He also always worry for Granda's health.

Then, I admire Rory because of Rory's bravery. Despite being young, Rory is also a very brave boy. He is not afraid being chased by the police and is ready to protect Granda when necessary.

On the other hand, I admire Rory because Rory is a clever and intelligent boy. Although Rory is still young, he plans the Great Escape alone and manages to break Granda out from Rachnadar without being detected. He is also quick to plan their escape route to evade the authority.

In conclusion, the character I admire is Rory because he is quick to react upon the challenges he faced. He is also loving and caring towards Granda, brave and a clever and intelligent boy. Therefore, we should always face our challenges bravely and find creative solutions to our problems.
