Marked
One day being of average teenage girl and having to deal with the stress of boys and school work to the next day having to deal with the crave of blood and having the ability to control the four elements of the world, air, wind, land and water. What sixteen year old girl is able to handle this drastic change? In the series Marked, P.C Cast strongly examines the role, responsibility and the relationship between humans and vampires.
Zoey Redbird has had a 360 turn around in her life, from going from a girl that just was trying to pass school and staying out of the spotlight, trying not to cause any trouble, to being one of the most powerful vampires of them all. Having being everyone’s role model and making every decision with caution. Zoey Redbird was gifted with ability to control all four elements wind, air, water and land. Having this gift means she can call any four elements any time no matter where she is and what she is doing. Her role as a vampire is to protect and help out with the greater good of every vampires interest in mind. She is the leader and with that role she must serve and protect her fellow vampires. P.C Cast wrote the book not just for the pleasure and imagination for others to read but also to get a point across. Every teenager doesn’t matter if at the age of thirteen or nineteen, every individual has a role in life and that may be from being a mother to becoming a better citizen in the community. Every individual has a role and wether to carry out the role or not is their choice. I have been very gifted with the talent of judo, the aggression, the will to fight, it has been in bedded in me, it is who I am and with that gift I feel that it is my role to teach and inspire others to exceed their dream no matter what obstacles stand in their way. I have had several break downs telling myself I want to quit, having missed parties and fun advents with my friends or even the fact that I cant make weight but in the end I always able to climb out of the dark hole and find the path that I must take. My role in this society is to contribute and teach that hard work and determination will make individuals the best person they possibly can be.
I get so sick and tired of hearing that it is my responsibility to make sure I get honors in school just so that I can attend secondary school or even the fact that I got to make sure my sisters get to their practices and home when my parents are at work. If I was able to have the choice and decide what order we were born I would have chosen to be last. I totally and fully agree that the baby my sister Brette of the family is the most spoiled getting everything she wants and make sure that she is always taken care of. I couldn’t imagine the responsibility that Zoey has, knowing that she has so much power that she is able to destroy the world by just the saying of a couple words. I thought I had a hard, rough life with responsibility of working out, keeping up good grades and being able to maintain my social status. Compared to Zoey Redbird it doesn’t even hold a candle. Having that responsibility I would mentally break down, having to keep up with school, maintain having two boyfriends and another I have deep feelings for and on top of that having to deal with these great powers and keeping them under control. Responsibility has and will always take present in my life from being the older sister and physical fitness to being a mother and making sure the bills get payed.
Humans play a major role in the vampires life, before they could become a vampire they all had to be a human. They were
just not born a vampire. Humans and vampires can have a really close relationship in which it is called imprinting in that they are able to feel and sense emotions what their other half is portraying. In order for them to have this ultimate interaction with each other, the vampire must suck the blood of the human. Zoey Redbird has gotten her self in quit a predicament in that she has a vampire boyfriend and has imprinted with her human boyfriend that she had when she was still human and then to top it all off she has deep feeling for another vampire boy. Girls would dream about having all of these boys wanting them, Zoey on the other hand just wants to be a normal girl with no special powers and only having one boy friend for that fact, so that she is able to stay faithful. There is positives and negatives about having all of these boys but personally I wouldn’t want all of these boys chasing after me or me even feeling so deeply for two other guys. I’m old fashioned in that I believe there is one guy out there for me and I will always be faithful to that one guy.
The series of Marked is very similar to the series of Twilight. I fell in love with the series of Twilight on how it was all about vampires and werewolves. After finishing the last book of Twilight I need something more to read and it definatley had to be something about vampires. My sister recommend me to read the Marked series and Im glad I did, it is using your imagination to a whole other level. I recommend to every other individual that enjoyed Twilight to read Marked.

Both of these poems are very similar in the way of romanticism showing it’s revolt against aristocratic social and political norms and the individual imagination in allowing to over come the norm of the
a boy experiencing child labour and was able to become very optimistic in life, enabling to by pass the negatives in life. While the song of experience is about a boy that was abused and abandoned by his parents but was able to allow the positives over ride the negatives in life. These poems are similar in that they are both able to forgive their parents for the feeling of abandonment. I can only hope that I could posses the character of optimism. Knowing when things hit rock bottom I would always be able to look imagine the best of the situation.Independence is a key factor to being this optimistic and imaginative. Obviously this young chimney sweeper does not follow the heard, but instead leads it.
Every parent is attached to their children mentally and physically. Children are a younger version of their parents, having the best characteristics of both into one body. As a child grows up and matures mentally they are ready to spread their wings and explore the world, without the supervision of their parents telling them what and what not to do.
s always checking up on them wondering what they are doing and what they shouldn’t be doing. As a parent their biggest fear is to see their child fail. Every parents wants the best for their child, and will sometimes go to extreme conditions in order to see there child succeed in life and in everything they do, while others become

with disabilities. After a few months it really started to sink in and get me thinking in how I act and how impatient I am in public. How can I show aggression towards another that cant help, with what there problem is. Making me realize how fortunate I am to have a perfect life. Nothing to complain about, I have no phyiscal or mental disabilites two parents and a family that love me to death. I look up to my aunty and uncle because they are one in a million. They have so much love and kindness to share, that they offer their home to kids with misfortunes , orphans, or even the kids that were abused from their parents. Seeing these kids makes my stomach turn upside down knowing that they will never experience the experience that I experience every day, the love and warm hearted home. I hope one day when I have had my kids and have moved out, that I too will be able to offer my home to the kids in need. Show them a path that their parents were not able to provide for them.
enough time in a day or just being plain lazy. As an individual just like 99% of the wolds population I have trouble making a change. A change to me is like a life depressing state. As I reflect through my life I realize that I have been maintaing a simple routine, sports,school, friends. The one change I struggle with is my sport. A common question I’m commonly asked is how far will you go in your sports and in doing so how are you going to get an education? How old do you want to be when you start a family? It hit me hard thinking about these question. Several nights of thinking spent on these question. I have never really thought life in the future. I have always lived my life from day to day.
My parents are always telling me that I should surround myself around others that are going to give me a positive outlooks and outcomes in life and the best people to do that is my family. They will always be there for you when you need them in good times and bad. Knowing that they will give you the strength and courage to continue on the path that you decide to be the person you want to be. Friends come and go but my family is here to stay. I spend a great amount of my time traveling and training in judo, leaving me the bare minimum for my social life. there are day’s where I just want to quite give up. Realizing that I am not getting any younger, knowing that I wont be able to have my life back as a kid and wasting it all on judo. Without my family being there to turn my negative thinking into positive thinking, making me realize of how lucky I am as a kid to have this much talent and to explore the world at such a young age. I would have not accomplished as much in judo as I have today if it wasn’t for my family.
tiredness that fills my face but most of all I see a person that gives up when time get tough. A person not willing to keep trying and accomplish their goals. Not only have I become a quitter but a very negative person towards life. I have notcied that when life doesn’t go the way I want it to I quit, give up and make negative comments toward life and how it sucks. I can be a really bitter person when not getting what I want, material and emotional goods. I haven’t apperciate in what life has given me. I want to become a person the see life in a positive way. I want to be the person to not give up and say “I can do it and no one will stop me.” I have accomplished a great amount in my life, in judo and my other sports but that still does not make me satisfied. I went through everything imagineable from tears, fighting to being rude to the ones I care about. I want to over come that childish attiude and mature mentally as well. When I look in the mirror I want to feel the joy build up inside of me. I want to feel and look healthy mentally and physically. To become who I want ot be.

pain and torture that I know Im going to have to go through. With leaving a mark on my skin and having the fulfillment of happiness knowing that they will always be with me where ever I go. I can’t imagine having a family of my own I still feel so young, not ready, not yet mature enough. Devastating knowing a hundered years ago girls my age were having kids and starting a family of their own. Will I be a
