Blog Post #9 - Meeting the Mentor

Halo: Fall of Reach, Eric Nylund

        In the novel Halo: Fall of Reach, the mentor to the protagonist is Dr. Halsey. She is the mother of Jorge, who is John's good friend. Also, she is a military doctor, and researcher. She isn't a medical doctor, but rather, she does research and development for the military, designs weapons, armor, and vehicles, and runs the Spartan II Program. She teaches John many things, training him to be physically capable for combat.
She provides him with weapons, and emotional support, as well promoting him to squad leader, showing how much she trusts in him.

       So, for John, Dr. Halsey is a great mentor who guides him and teaches him to prepare for his future.
