Zhan-pole

In the end of chapter 4, Will and Henry meets another important character, called Zhan-pole. There are several reasons why Zhan-pole can be very important to Will and Henry. First, he is very smart, so whenever they get in trouble, Zhan-pole might have some ideas how to get out of the trouble.(Page 71, This is not as silly as it sounds becuse there was one thing that stood out about hi: he had quite a tremendous brain. His speking English, for instance: he had found an old book, giving instructions in the laguage, and taught himself).

Also, he is important to Will and Henry because he can invent some other things that might be helpful to himself. I think this is really important because if Zhan-pole has some materials to invent something, he can invent something really helpful to their advenure. (Page 71, Lately, he had been more and more uneasy about the prospect of being Capped, rightly guessing that it would put an end to his inventing things.)
