Review: the mark by edyth bulbring.

the mark ettie character analysis essay

View onAmazon UPDATE: I have turned off comments for this review. This is a set book for a class in South Africa and I'm starting to get comments asking me to answer assigned question. Also, people have ignored my request that they not ask such questions. If you would like some guidance reading this book, there are a number of youtube videos on The Mark. Link to youtube videos on The Mark .

"There tends to be a common teen-angst thing, like: 'Oh the whole world is against me, the whole world is so screwed up,' " Will explains. Teenagers are cynical, adds Aaron Yost, 16. And they should be: "To be fair, they were born into a world that their parents kind of really messed up." Everyone here agrees: The plots in dystopia feel super familiar. That's kind of what makes the books scary — and really good. Think of it like this: Teen readers themselves are characters in a strange land. Rules don't make sense. School doesn't always make sense. And they don't have a ton of power. The fact that these books offer a safety net, a place where kids can "flirt with those questions without getting into trouble," that's reason enough to keep teachers and parents buying them off the shelf.

Comments are turned off for this post. If The Mark is a set book for your school project, you might find it helpful to look at these youtube videos about the book. Link to list of youtube videos about The Mark.

I agree with you, Mack, that there's some great YA literature out there. And this one sounds like a taut, interesting story as well as some solid character exploration. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
