While reading the book, I realized that Dennis Obdin, the target from the mission, is very powerful and his power is targeted by Cherub and its spies. Power is known as a universal theme topic that is shown in the book. Dennis Obdn has wealth and control over something illegal. His targeting is shown here,” … meeting with Dennis Obdin. Maybe their cover got blown, or…” (47). By “cover”, the author means the cover of the teens that are spying on Dennis and destroy whatever plans he has. Their covers probably might have been blown because after this quote, James was awaken by by the henchmen of Obdin. Another form of power is shown on page 80,” Joe looked happy; his four younger companions like it was too good to be true. “I want you boys to do me a favor,” Slava said seriously. “DIvide the money evenly, take it home and keep your mouths shut…” Slava is a man with power and wealth that brought James from Joe, a man he captured and beat James, along with his companions, in order to sell him to Slava. Joe held power over James in order to sell him to Slava and Slava held power over Joe and his companions in order to buy James.

On page 41, you learn more about the way that Mr.Large reacts to a situation and how his personality is shown on this part of the book. On pages 40-41, Mr.Large appears very angry, frustrated, and strict man. As show here,” ‘Norman?’ Large growled. ‘How dare you call me Norman. You address me as sir’” (41). Lauren and Rat are just trying to help him because he has just fallen from a stretcher. The stretcher from which they were trying to help him navigate. And now he is having a heart attack while on the ground and they are only trying to help and call help for him. Just as shown in this quote from page 40, “ Stay still,’ Bethany shouted desperately. ‘You’ve just had a heart attack.’ ‘ Poppycock,’ Large bellowed. ‘Let me off of this contraption {the stretcher}.” Mr.Large has just had his first heart attack and once again the teens are simply trying to help him get onto the stretcher. They even push him until he falls because of his overweight.
In the Book Cherub, by Robert Muchamore, the characters are Dennis Obdin, James. Mark, Lauren Adam, Bethany, Rat, Mr.Large. James is an one of the agents who are being trained/are trained agents who are under the age of 17. Lauren, Bethany and Rat are also agents. Mr.Large is their school teacher, Mark is the son of Dennis Obdin, and Dennis Obdin is a criminal who has a lot of money and owns most of the land and property, and all of the factories in Aero City. Shown on this quote,” Dennis Odin's luxury home had featured in glossy magazines both in Russia and across northern Europe” (page 15). Aero City is where James, the main character, is at. He is there on a mission that was briefing for him. His mission is on Dennis Obdin and what he does. James is dynamic because at first he is this normal teenager but then turns into this highly trained agent. Dennis, right now, seems to be static . There was a quote in the book that makes James seem like a low, negative person, it stated,” A romantic might have found it beautiful, but James Adams could only see cold” (pg 16). In the first book, James’ mother died which led him to go into the Cherub in the first place. He was a troubled boy which was what attracted the organization. HIm being a troubled boy and his mother dying may be why he is so low.
