Her presence made him shoot immediately awake

[meliss]

Hi, would you please explain me le role of the word "shoot" and which part of speech it is here? I wonder it would be the same without it: "Her presence made him immediately awake", wouldn't it? Thank you.
"Colin slept through the rooster that Thursday morning but not through Lindsey jumping onto his bed and saying, “Get up. We’re going to Memphis. ... Mm-hmm,” Colin mumbled as if he were sleepy, but he wasn’t. Her presence made him shoot immediately awake." (Abundance of Katherines by John Green)

See definition 2 here:

Shoot is the verb; awake is an adverb.
Yes, you could leave shoot out, in which case awake becomes a verb.

Thank you for your link, Sir, but I've actually read some before asking and still do not understand the meaning nuance the "shoot" is bringing here.

2. "move or cause to move suddenly and rapidly in a particular direction"

Her presence made him [STRIKE]shoot[/STRIKE] move suddenly and rapidly immediately awake."
He moved suddenly and rapidly as he immediately awoke on being disturbed by her presence.

Note my changes above. Please don't refer to people here as "Sir". It's unnecessarily formal and it suggests that you assume the responder is male.

I find "to make someone shoot immediately awake" very unnatural.
