Kate Wetherall

         In the book The Mysterious Benedict Society, Kate Wetherall is a very intelligent and odd character. She does many things that, at first thought, would be extremely out of the ordinary. Although, on closer examination, are very well thought out and make complete sense. Her character is very brave and is not afraid of really anything. If put in a situation where she would need to jump out of a plane, she would leap out without hesitation or second thought. Kate also has a very unique way of being prepared. She carries a bucket around her waist at all times filled with very unusual things that seem to all serve a purpose at sometime in the story. Kate is also a very supportive character throughout the book. The reason why I connect so well with Kate, is that although she may seem to be extremely tough on the outside, she has a very kind heart and is a very emotional person on the inside. Kate is also a very gifted person and unlike many gifted children tend to be, she is a very social person. She is able to communicate very well with other people while still being able to be extremely gifted and talented.
