Fate

Fate

"The Forest Of Hands And Teeth" is written by Carrie Ryan. It is very good from what I have read so far. It is about a girl named Mary who lives in a small Village that is surrounded by a giant fence.In the inner fence they have the village and on the outside of it is where the Unconsecrated drag the rest over their limp body trying to claw at the living on the other side.Mary is ready to leave and see if they are the only once left on earth.

I Am Mary (From the novel "The Forest Of Hand And Teeth")

I Am  Mary  (From the novel "The Forest Of Hand And Teeth")


I am curious
I wonder what is beyond the village fences
I hear the moans and scratching of the Unconsecrated
I see nothing but the fence and the forest
I want to see the world
I am ready to see the world                       



I pretend not to hear the secrets of the Sisterhood
I feel trapped in this boring isolated place
I touch Travis's face even though we are not betrothed
I worry that i will not ever leave this place
I cry at night knowing i wont ever leave
I am ready to leave



I understand that i am not trusted in this village
I say i am okay but i am not
I dream of the stories my mother told me
I try to see beyond the forest
I hope to be with Travis one day and leave
I am not happy here
                                                                                         

The Hero

"A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to preserve and endure in spite it overwhelming obstacles." -Christopher Reeve ("Superman")                                                                          This quote is talking about normal people who can be hero's on a day to day basis even though they themselves can be going through obstacles. Yet they still choose to help others in need because they have the strength to be there for others when they need them. My personal opinion on this quote would be to agree because ordinary individuals can be heroes without even realizing it. The reason I agree with Christopher's quote is because you honestly can be a hero for example a few years back my neighbors 3 year old had a candy in his mouth and he started to choke and his mother started to panic and didn't know what to do and started to scream for help. My dad was outside at the time with my sister and I and he runs to their house and took the candy out of the little boys mouth and saved him. The mother was so happy she kept on saying thank you for saving my son. All my dad said was its no problem I used this example because my dad is just an ordinary working man and he saved a 3 year olds life.
