Blog 11B-Notable Moment: Among the Hidden
Having started Among the Hidden on a Sunday morning, I finished it that same evening and was surprised how captivating the book was. After reading the back cover, the story seemed interesting, but it seemed somewhat gloomy and not the normal type of book I would enjoy. Although, there were a few notable moments that I thought sparked my interest in the story and kept me reading. When Luke gets the courage to sneak over to the sports family house and discovers Jen, this is a great part of the book. My favorite part is probably when Luke sneaks back into Jens house and her step father surprises him while he is trying to find out where Jen went.
This scene shows so many emotions in it, and I changed from being terrified that Luke was going to die to being upset to realize that Jen had died at her rally, to being scared again when the population police show up to raid the house. Luke is terrified when he hears, “Turn around slowly. I have a gun. Who are you and why are you here?”. The situation then turns to a sad mood when her step father says, “‘Jens—‘ his voice broke. ‘Jen is no longer with us.’ ‘She –?’ She’s dead,’ the man’s voice said harshly.” Finally, Luke becomes terrified, he hears “pounding on the door, and then the command, ‘Open up! Population Police!” This whole relay of events if so exhilarating that the rest of book flew by as I read till the read.
