Every time Tack has a near death experience I can relate. This is because even though it has not happened to me yet just the thought of it makes me extremely sad. I could not even imagine what it is like to lose a friend. But just the thought kills me inside.

# data[].attributes.body
I relate to Min because she is not someone who would hang out with popular people. This describes me as I am definitely far from that crowd. She and her friend Tack are really close and I can relate to that because I have a brotherly friend like that. Though we both have a little bit of wanting to blend in that crowd.

The author is using hyperbole because that is exaggerating how long they will be together.  This goes to show how close they are slowly getting closer and how Szarok feels more comfortable with her. Szarok is now warming up to Human ideas and he is willing to learn and love her. Szarok is really protective and wants to make sure that his "Mate"tells him where she is and can trust him, and Tegan wants the same so that is what the quote is explaining that they will tell everything about each other.

What theme is seen throughout the story? Support your answer with one piece of evidence. 

# data[].attributes.body
The theme is of the importance of not letting your feelings bottle up and trusting people you love. In the text it shows this from pg 4 "‘Vietnam,’ Terry blurted out. And he thought, there, it’s out. It’s out and gone. ‘No!’ his father said sharply. It was as if he had been struck a blow. A body blow. ‘But, Dad.’ ‘No. That’s another part of my life. A bad part. A rotten part. It was before I met your mother, long before you. It has nothing to do with this family, nothing. No.’
So Terry thought, so I tried. But it wasn’t over yet. It wasn’t started yet. ‘It just seems to bother you, so much,’ Terry said, ‘and I thought if I could help or maybe understand it better...’ His words
ran until he foundered, until he could say no more." This shows that Terry wants to help his dad, he just needs his dad to cooperate.

# data[].attributes.body
The 64 students of Fire Lake High realize the shocking truth that they are the only people left on earth. They also realize they are living in a video game where no one can die. What they don’t know is that  the Guardian wants only 20 people to remain and the way they die is by dying too many times, and the more kills you get give you strength. The kids are also told about Min, Noah, Sarah, and Ethan, who are the Betas and they are the most powerful. Many of them split up in teams, Ethan’s power hungry team, Noah’ murderous team, the people of the mines, and Tack and Min. Each of them have their own goals Murder or Protect. But they all know to Murder or be Murdered.

It is extremely cool to see the fight and flight situations between each and every student. As I am not in a video game just observing was very cool for me.

# data[].attributes.body
I would also be extremely scared of what the kids have to do. There are many times where it is extremely nail-biting to what happens next. I would probably get myself killed multiple times if I was in their shoes. I am extremely lucky that I will never have this style of the world.

# data[].attributes.body
The fact that Min's father is the Guardian absolutely shocked me. I never would have guessed that he would be so evil. I have never had an evil parent nor do I want one. This is a big window for me and a different one too.

I am not very surprised at how the kids are acting from this situation. I am very happy that in the end though they elect the right person. I also would trust Min as she is very trust worthy and helpful, though she is quite naive. If I were their I would definitely join her.

But many of them still live in Home own which still is in Fire Lack and is living under Min. As they see her as worthy enough to rule. But nothing can be normal for too long as disaster strikes. But at this time Min doesn't know what to do or how to help. Soon they realize that they are not the only survivors on this earth.
