YAL General Topics 1
We have been talking about teen issues and how they are portrayed in young adult literature. What is the best Young Adult Lit book you've read that deals with an "issue"?
I read a book called Before I Fall. It deals with the topic of teen relationships--romatic and friendship. It also has a focus on bullying and peer pressure. (Think Mean Girls) I thought it was really great becuase the main character has a chance to "do over" many of the things she has done wrong--she just didn't realize they were wrong at the time. It's a great book, with a surprising twist you definitley don't expect. It's one you have to keep reading becuase you HAVE to know how it ends. I think most girls would really like it--not sure about the guys...

Mark definitley has power over other people. Why is that? How much of his power is fear? What are the others afraid of?
What makes some people seem so powerful? What makes others want to follow them?
