Re-Betrayed

Author's Note: In these upcoming paragraphs you will read about how the main character developed as the book went on.

Luke, an illegal third child, trying to pass by in life without being arrested. Scared, emotional, worried and quite is how he feels 24/7. Wishing to not be an illegal child, living with guilt he hides for a large amount of his life. You weren't allowed to have over two children and if you had a third, they were known as illegal children. These children must be caught by the Population Police immediately and will be killed. While these kids seek hiding without getting caught, there number one thing is to have an I.D card. Some kids never left their homes and always used a different name. Each and everyone of these innocent children were horrified of what could happen to them.

Luke feels normal, safe, but not too safe in his new school. He has many scary feelings. He doesn't know what to do at some points in time. A quiet boy that only says a word or two and just tries to fit in describes Luke. Through the overall story Luke goes from scared, alone, and worried to confidant, trust worthy and wanted. He influenced some of the other illegal children by telling them they can do anything and they are not worthless. Luke reminds me of how David felt when his mother abused him in the novel "A Child Called It". 

Throughout the story Luke learns a lot. He learns to fit it and learns that he is wanted and loved by others and he isn't worthless.  The author was most likely trying to send a message to the readers of saying, you can do something you never thought you could only if you try. Luke wanted to give up n just go with everything, but he didn’t, and he saved lives. He influenced me and maybe other readers to stand up for themselves, and not only what they believe in. It also told me to try accomplishing things you thought you couldn’t. Always remember one thing, no one can be trusted when you are an illegal child.
