Reading Response


 In the book The Gift by James Patterson, the characters Whit [Whitford] and Whisty [Wistera] face problems in all around the story. The biggest problem they face is loyalty and trust with the people around them. There major issues in my book. 

Whit has hard time trusting the new kid in the secret force that is made up of kids. He thinks that he might be a traitor working for The One Who Is One who puts children under eighteen into jail to and teaches them "discipline" which in his eyes is destroying everything that has to do with creativity.The new kid always leaves at night when everyone is sleeping. Whit cant trust him because when he followed him, he saw the new kid talk to a guard.

Wisty has problems with trust because in a concert in the abandoned subway she meets a teenager who is her age and sings. She hangs out with him for a while but, he takes her drumstick which is her wand. They meet up the next day but its a trap and The One Who IS One is there ready to kill her as long with the kid Whit couldn't trust. They escaped with their magic wand and book.

Since Whit and Whisty were both about to be killed by The One Who Is One because of some traitors, they both tried to leave and manage alone together. the only one who the could trust is the leader of the secret fore which is made up of kids.
