I have many feelings after reading the Novel, Among the Hidden. One feeling I had is that I thought the book was very interesting. It was interesting because in the novel Luke is an illegal third child and he meets this girl named Jen, which is also a third child, who tries to fight against the third child law and creates a rebellion with many other third children. In this rebellion Jen and the other third children in the rebellion all die. The government in the novel shows no mercy and guns them all down. Luke survives only because he didn't go. That is why I felt this novel was very interesting. Another feeling I have for the novel is that I thought it was very rebellious. Like I said earlier in the paragraph Jen rebels against the government. Also Luke's parents and Jen's parents are rebellious because they had a third child even the government made it a law that you couldn't. That is why I felt the novel was very rebellious. Another feeling I have for the novel is that is that I thought it was very risky. It was risky because in the novel, Among the Hidden, Luke and Jen risk their lives by going outside. The third children also risked their lives by going to the presidents house and rebelling not knowing if they would live. The last feeling I have for the novel is that it is very catchy. The novel just brings you in and makes you want to keep reading. The whole idea of this novel made it catchy to me and made me want to read more. Those are my feelings to the novel, Among the Hidden.
The novel, Among the Hidden, has many connections to life. One connection is that In this novel the government made a law that banned third children. This is similar to my life because in China they made a law that banned third children. Another connection to the novel and me is the character Luke and I. Luke is very cautious and won't do things if he doesn't feel okay with it. This is similar to me because I am very cautious and won't do things If I don't feel okay with it. The novel also connects to my life because it has people that rebl against the government and in my life many people rebel against the government or governments. This is how the novel connects to my life.
