Author's Purpose and Point of View 13.10

Strategy: Author’s Purpose and Point of View

What’s the point?

I believe the author was trying to say that teenagers go through rough time with puberty, new changes from child, to teenager and finally into an adult. It’s also likely to show us what can really happen in real life? I believe the author was successful in getting its message to me, the reader. The book’s enabled me to understand how lucky I am to have understanding and loving parents even if they’re separated. Zoey’s step-father does not understand and dislikes Zoey because she refuses to listen to him, and does as she think is correct. When Zoey is Marked, her mother instantly worried about her husband, and what everyone’ll think, she do not worry for Zoey which upsets Zoey, and her step-father calls her ‘Satan’ just because she was Marked.

Between the line and behind the lines:

I believe that the author’s trying to tell me that change is part of life and that I should adjust to it as well as swim with the stream instead of against it. I don’t think the author managed to tell me something about myself I haven’t thought about before. I believe that the author has to be very creative, open-minded and wise to write a book like this.
