"But as the flickering lights sputtered out in tiny puffs of smoke, Justin felt a cold chill. It was too much like a hundred small deaths happening all at once."

This quote personifies the vigil candles. In this time of need, it would seem that Justin needed the light to keep hope. Throughout the book, the author  plays with this theme of light and dark, whether it is tye weather mirroring characters' moods or just setting the mood for a scene.

"[Thane's] scream erupted in the darkness. It was the deep, agonizing cry of an animal in extreme pain."

This quote is a direct metaphor for Thane's personality (he cried out like an "animal").  It touches on the fact that he is, essentially, bestial due to his vicious nature.

As another high school student, like Diamond and Mercedes, I attend school every week day. Furthermore, Diamond and Mercedes dance as an extracurricular, while I swim. On a daily basis, they dance after school, I go to school and swim after. Also, Diamond has dancing performances and I have swimming competitions. Both of us have to perform well in the presence of a crowd.

Title: Panic

Type of Book: Young-Adult Fiction/Thriller
Main characters: Justin Braddock, Layla Ridgewood, Donovan Beaudry, Thane English, and Diamond Landers.

I recommend the book because it teaches teens and other young people to not follow strangers if they intend to take you somewhere.

Panic by Sharon M. Draper wasn’t really what I expected, after reading the summary. I thought the book would focus on Diamond, the girl who gets kidnapped, which it did in the beginning. There are only short chapters that circle back to what is happening to Diamond and the rest are about the effect that Diamond’s abduction had on the people around her. There are multiple perspectives used throughout the book, which emphasize the effect of Diamond’s disappearance. The author successfully uses this technique to get her purpose across, however I feel that because there are so many other perspectives and people introduced, the horrifying fact that Diamond is being held against her will by a stranger is slightly overshadowed. But, overall I find the book to be very enlightening about the dangers that teens are exposed to and it is written very well. This is because it informs readers about the dangers that strangers still pose even when you are older with Diamond’s kidnapping and even the dangers that the people around us can pose with Layla’s relationship with her abusive boyfriend.
