Just from chapter 10 to chapter 15 I have become so much more interested in the book. Marcus begins to date a girl, Ange, and the storyline that follows their relationship is really cute. Even though this girl seems to be really into Marcus I can't help but wonder if there is going to be a twist coming. It wouldn't be too far fetched if the author made her into a spy or something for DHS. I am probably way off, but it seems that something is going to have to happen soon. They are doing all of this "jamming" and interviews with the press and so far it just seems that they are getting away with all of this without being caught. I am anticipating what is coming up!
I also wonder if this is a book that can be read in Middle or High school? It is a good book and I think that students would be interested, but would it be appropriate with the way the author explains Marcus' and Ange's sexual encounters?
Jackie, I loved the insight of making Ange a spy. I never thought of that!! I think that would be a sad, but interesting twist to the book. I also have more interest in the book, but with the more interest in the book, I feel I am no longer able to teach this book to students. I think the sexual scenes are too graphic for younger audiences. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
ReplyDeleteJackie, I thought the exact same thing about Ange! But I will not spoil anything for you... I fear that the sexual encounters may be to much, as well. I am pretty sure that I will be doing my student teaching with 7th and 8th graders, so I don't think it would be appropriate for me to use this book then. Maybe the following year if I'm in a high school!
