The character Callum McGregor is one of my favourite characters. Callum has dreams of being something important to the world and making a difference, but is held back by the limitations on Noughts that have been set by both Noughts and Crosses. I can't really relate to him, as I probably won't be in that kind of serious situation in my whole life. However, I think that what motivates Callum to do things the way he does is his determination to find a way to be with Sephy and make her happy. Even when he turned Sephy away at school, it was to protect her from others who would persecute her for associating with Noughts in a friendly way. Also, Lynette's suicide made him swear to live and never give up on life.
Five interesting words:
1. Scepticism - pg. 141
Disbelief of claims of ultimate knowledge.
2. Patronizing - pg.155
Condescending in an offensive way.
3. Audacity - pg.177
Aggressive boldness or daring.
4. Ineffectual - pg. 177
Not able to produce intended results.
5. Cretin - pg. 203
An idiot.
