Plot

Story

The exciting Part

The main Problem

Daz decides that he has to see her again and do everything to spend time with her. He changes his chippy-clothers, goes out of the tunnel and meets Zoe.It is the moment, they realize that it is the beginning of a real thing between them.

The main problem of the book is that it is not so easy to break some rules. Daz belongs to "Dred", a criminal organisation against Subbies. Nonetheless, he is ready to break the rules for Zoe, but he has to protect her. Zoe does also a lot of sacrifices for him and opposes her family.

It is about a love-story between Zoe and Daz. They are two different people from two different families. They want to stop the standards of their families and show them that love is powerful.

my favourite passage

put yourself in my place. You love your parents but you have decided to leave forever without even saying goodbye. You have gonna do it tommorow, so this is the last night in the bed you have slept in all your life. you are going out under a trash truck, and any one of four things might happen. you might be seen getting under, in which case the whole thing's blown. you might succeed* in getting under, but be spotted at the gate. if that happens the crew dies and they put you away someplace you will never get out of. if you make it through the gate you might lose your hold as the truck speeds along the freeway, in which case you are dead. or you might succeed and find yourself without food or shelter in a bleak* and alien world. (p. 107, l. 3-13)

Comment

Sofia Filippidou

It's a very interesting book, which tell you a lot about life. It teaches you that even when everyone is against you and your dreams, you have to believe on them, but first of all on YOU. "Hope" is also an important aspect. At last it teaches you that you'll have the right feeling only for the right person, who is worth fighting for.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION
