What is the "basic idea" of the story (min 3 paragraphs) - please remember i have not read the story , provide me with a basic understanding of the novel.

Alex Rider is a 14 years- old kid who was assigned by MI6 to investigate the deaths of two billionaires, Michael J. Roscoe from U.S. and General Viktor Ivanov from Russia. Both of them had a son attending Point Blanc, an academy in the French Alps run by a South African scientist, Dr Hugo Grief. Many rebellous, rich kids have attended in this school because they were "bad". Alex has no time to choose and forced to listen the Agents. Alex to 's cover is that of the son of a supermarket owner, Sir David Friend.

Alex is taken to a hotel on the way to Point Blanc, and his dinner drink is drugged, causing him to faint. He was transported to a laboratory. Doctors took off all his clothings,and examined every inch of his body and photographed for unknown reasons...

After he arrived the school, he got a new friend called James. He told Alex that the school has some sercet in it. James has been in the school for six weeks but no one taught him anything. More than that, the kids who used to be rebellous become complacent. What Alex didn't know is the kids has been cloned by Dr Hugo Grief. He planned to dominate the world with his clones. Alex has no time to think and he is only one who can help the world.



In the current novel your reading are their any gender stereotypes or symbols you have picked up on . Please explain

--Not many gender stereotypes base on the story, but the novel has portraited a African woman, who named is Eva Stellenbosch, as " musclebound". I think it is stereotype for Arican woman.

What is ALL the characters in your current novel were male.? Please explain how that would affect the novel .

--Since this is the novel about spys, it will be interesting. Because of many guys likes the element of actions as they read.

What is ALL the characters in your current novel were female? Please explain how that would affect the novel.

--The novel will change completely because this novel is based on a boy's life. I can't imagine how the story goes if all characters are girls.

Please provide the definition of SYMBOLISM in your own words.

--I think symbolism is a sign of an objects or gestures that can connect something common to any particular people.
