Muntant

Hey everyone Rambo here,
The story that i have recently been reading is Mutant by Theresa Breslin.

The main character of this story a bloke called Brad who is in his 20's and works at a clone unit. He is a medium sized man but is not overlay tall. Brad works with the Professor, Rob the security man and a girl called Jade who Brad really likes. Brad is in charge with doing research in a cloning unit lab and is almost killed when someone locks him in the locker room and sets it on fire. After this Brad sets out to find who is trying to sabotage his teams work. This story is of Brad being Narrated as it does not use "I" when referring to Brad.

The Author created the character Brad after reading an article in a newspaper about "Dolly" the first cloned sheep. Theresa believed, in her personal comment in the front of the book, that if she cloned something it would have been something much more exciting than a sheep and therefore came up with the idea of cloning humans in which Brad is involved. I think that the Author wanted brad to be a male because many males work in research labs and also because then she could write about a romance in the novel, also perhaps she had felt the same way about a male that she worked with when she was younger. I think that she used bard as a twenty year old as it is an age where most people like to imagine a character and because this story is written for teenagers it would be easy to relate to.

If Brad was to become a female in this story the main thing that would have to change would be that she would have a crush on a male instead of a female. Besides this the story could easily function the same as Brad did not do anything out of the ordinary.

Well thats it for now i hope that you like my report enough to get out and read the book!
thanks for looking. Rambo.
