Character Analysis on The Secret War


        In this book the protagonist, Jack, has many issues he has to face and many problems that only he can solve. Throughout the book, Jack has to go against not only the enemy but also his friends. Jacks life is complicated and so he holds many secrets, this causes trust problems between him and his friends, so in addition to having to fight the enemy he also has to solve his problems between him his friends. Jack has many enemies in this place and only a few friends who he can really trust. Jacks main enemy in this book is a man named Smart.
        Smart is the antagonist and his power is his intelligence, he is the smartest man on earth but only the super humans in Imagine Nation know this. The problem with him is that all he cares about is money and power which he both has a lot of. He was a circleman, more or less the presidents of Imagine Nation, but the he was voted out of office. Smart would do anything to get rid of Jack, the boy who caused him to get voted out. Smart accuses Jack of every criminal action happening and for working with the Rustov. Ironically, the only thing Jack has been doing this whole time is fighting against the things Smart said. Smart, being rich and owning many news programs, was able to also turn all the people of Imagine Nation against Jack. Smart wants Jack dead or jail.
        Jacks power is that he can control machines, do if there is anyone who can stop the Rustov, it's Jack. But he can't do it alone, not without the help of his reliable and trustworthy friends. Allegra, Skerren,Trea, and Zhi. Allegra is able to control the molecules of her body, meaning she can turn liquid, solid, and can stretch as much as she wants. Skerren is an outstanding sword fighter and his swords can cut through virtually anything. Trea is able to split her self up into three people with three different abilities. One is a great fighter, one is extremely smart, and the last one is her, a mix of both. She can also make each of the three have the same ability. Finally, Zhi's power is that he can summon mythical dragons and keep them under his complete control, he is also an excellent fighter. Without them Jack could never accomplish what's right and save the world. Even though Jacks friends are mad at him because of all the important secrets he keeps from them, they still know that he is doing the right thing.
        All in all, this book has taught me one main thing and that is: trust is one of the most important thing in a team and amongst friends.
