Snakehead is a book written by Anthony Horowitz. It is the sixth book in a series of seven. In the series the main character Alex Rider the teenage James Bond as some would say. Is recruited by MI6 and saves the world. Although Alex doesn’t like his he is very good at it and keeps on getting tricked into working for MI6 the CIA and ASIS. The morale of the story basically is you can do anything if you put your mind to it.
For example what Alex is putting his mind to is saving the world. Since he believes in himself he does a good job at it and if you put your mind to being a good athlete you will become a good athlete if you work hard at it by let’s say practicing extra long and hard, working out, or you could even watch the pros of a certain sport and try to say what they do right and wrong. It’s the same thing If you want to do good in school to get better grades you can do extra work like practice problems, study for tests, and ask teachers for help.
Another example is in the book Alex is determined to find more out about his family because he doesn’t know much about them. So he took an assignment just to try to get to know his godfather Ash. It’s the same as in a more common situation of you have a that you barely see and don’t know much about and they invite you and your immediate family for dinner and since you don’t know them very much and want to get to know them, but you don’t want to go you go anyways just so you get to know them better. Just like Alex did he didn’t want to go on the mission but he did anyways just to meet and get to know his godfather better.
Like I said before and the author is trying to express throughout the series if you put your mind to it you can do anything. You could become a lawyer, a basketball player and maybe you could even save the world like Alex.
