Catch us If You Can

1. Who is the most interesting character in the novel that you
have studied? Give reasons to support your answer.
SAMPLE ANSWER
In the novel „Catch Us if You Can‟ by Catherine MacPhail, I
think Granda is the most interesting character in the book.
Reading through the novel, I found out that he was a caring and
kind grandfather to Rory. The fact that Rory was to return the
favours implies that Granda must have been a good man and
good grandfather. His love for Rory is absolute. Also, Granda
finds it hard to bear that Rory has to be in a home and wants to
get out of hospital to take Rory home. This shows how much he
cares for Rory.
Granda is also a charmer. It is because he easily compliments
others especially women not only for the looks but also for their
talents as he praises Ruby for her cooking. All
the times he remains the perfect gentleman, like opening the
door for the young mother at the clinic.
Other than that, he is quite a fascinating character. He knows a
lot about films and film stars. His love for movie stars makes him
even name his son and grandson after some film heroes of his
time. Also, he loves singing and has no inhibitions about singing
some old songs, however badly, in front of others.
With all the above, I believe that Granda must be an interesting
and remarkable man.
