Reading Response to Cherub: The Killing Part 3

Reading Response to Cherub: The Killing

Part 3

            I have just finished Cherub: The Killing, by Robert Muchamore after reading another 150 min. Last time, I explained how this book relates to bullying. Now, I will explain how it relates to horrible tempers and there consequences.

           

            In this book, short-tempered police officer, Michael Patel, faces several problems with aggression. He has lost his temper multiple times, hurting and sometimes killing other people in the process. In one part of this book, Patel hit the main protagonist’s head against the wall of his own car during one of his temper tantrums. At the end it is also revealed that he was responsible for throwing a reclusive 18-year-old boy off a rooftop 13 months earlier after completely losing control of himself. For this reason, Patel is now in a cell for the rest of his life. This is why people need to control themselves. Especially when they are adults because completely lose control of yourself may cause you to commit serious crimes and end up like poor old Patel.
