In Michael Gerard Bauer’s novel Don’t Call Me Ishmael we see James Scobie as a smart, strong and fearless. We first see James Scobie in Part 2 Chapter 11. We first see James in class as the new kid. James is goofy looking, strange and nerdy, but we soon find out he is much more than he appears to be. I will be talking about James and how he is a good friend, teammate and student. James Scobie is one of the best students in St Daniels. James gets good marks for every class and is the captain of the debating team. The debating team is made up of James Scobie, Bill Kingsley, Orazio Zorzotto, Ishmael Leseur and Prindabel. These guys have been winning debates after debates mostly because of James. James kept encouraging the team with his goofy looking face and never doubted the team once. James never showed fear when coming to a debate. He always showed courage and faced his challenges head on. We know why James cannot sense fear because he had a brain tumour and had surgery to remove the tumour. According to James he thinks that there is a certain amount of fear a single person can have and he has used up all of his fear. Right now James is at Sydney undergoing tests to see if the brain tumour hasn’t come back. This will not stop James Scobie from being the smartest, most courageous and the most encouraging person we see in this book. One of the best friends you could have is James Scobie. James and Ishmael were both getting picked on by Barry Bagsley the high school bully. Barry was calling James and Ishmael names and threw papers at James. James stood up to Barry and embarrassed him in front of the whole class. Even when James’ face was directly in front of Barry’s he didn’t back down. James always had something to say to Barry when he spoke or when he counted down from 5 and said “If you don’t move i’ll punch you in the face.” But James always came back with something. James stuck up for Ishmael even though Ishmael thought he was going
