Has there ever been such similar people but that were also so different? Yes the book Point Blank and Fighting Ground they have a major similarities but also many differences. These books take place hundreds of years apart and yet they have a lot of similarities. But since they take place so far apart the tools and resources are much different.
In the book Fighting Ground there is a boy name Jonathan, he really wants to go to war. I know what you’re thinking who would ever want to go to war. I don't think he really wants to go to war I think he just wants to fight for his country even when no fighting is needed. Or he just wants the thrill or excitement he thinks he'll get from battle. This book shows both of them. So I think he is a very arrogant kid for he actually goes in to battle and finds out how bad it is. When he learns this he gets captured by the hessians. When the hessians fell asleep Jonathon was able to get the rope from around his ankle off, he could of just left but he didn’t know what would happen to the little boy he found in the barn so he stayed for a while then decided to take the little boy with him and he carried the little boy for at least 2 miles. Until he saw something through the woods it was a light from the camp from his seven or eight solders he had with he when he fought the hessians.
In the book Point Blank there is a boy, but not just any boy he is probably one of if not the bravest kid in the world. But is it bravery or is it stupidity. For he has to do stuff that no boy has ever done before and probably never will be done. His name is Alex, Alex Rider. He is going under cover in as a rich kid to find out what is happening at the school. They think that there is a connection between the deaths of some very power full men who sent their kids to the school. And MI6 sent Alex in to investigate, the setting of the book takes place in London. But unlike Jonathon he was sent into the school with high tech tool he had a CD player that when you put in the Beethoven and press fast forward three time it turns into a diamond saw also the ear stud when it is unscrewed it turn into a mini grenade. There might be many differences but there are also many similarities.
They both do stuff that they should not do Jonathon goes to war at the age of 13 and Alex goes undercover to expose an evil plot. They are both put in grave danger because they can both be killed at any moment. But they both accepted what needed to be done so even though they could have left at any moment they didn’t. They could have left because MI6 gave Alex a little transmitter that would send a signal to tell them to go get him if he got the evidence or needed any help. When Jonathon could of left his captors and escaped and he did but not until he saved the little boy from the hessians. So they both want to go home but they can’t because they had to finish what they started in Fighting Ground he had to go and kill the hessian which surprisingly they grew on him but it didn’t matter because they were going to be killed. In Point Blank after he escaped from the jail they put him in when they found out he was agent. He skied down the hill being shot at and crashed into a barbed wire fence. He still had to go back to the school with MI6 to finish the business and take out the bad guy.
So these characters are alike because they went off to do something hard and got out of there barley and had to go back with a team to take out the bad people even when they didn’t want to. And a lot different because of not only the time period but what they had to do and how they did it.
