Dr Ransome by Katie Rees

• Dr Ransome is a physician and it is clear that he takes looking after Jim very seriously because he looks after Jim when he is ill and even gives him some of his food.
• He has changed a lot since Jim first met him, he was once a strong young man with a lot of red hair but now he has shrunk and is very thin.
• He enjoys passing on his knowledge and teaching Jim latin, maths and science, although sometimes he finds jim irksome.
• He is kind because he looks after the two ladies on the way to the camp, keeps an eye on Jim and tries to look after people in the hospital when there is nothing he can do to help them.
• People seem to respect and he seems quite authorative because when he askes people to do something they do it.
