Imagine if you were at school and you became a vampyre with just a touch on your forehead. This is what happens to Zoey Redbird, a new fledging. In the captivating book Marked by P.C Cast the plot line, characteristics and lesson prove that it is a romantic mode of literature.
The book Marked follows the romantic mode of literature perfectly. This story starts out with a mild conflict. The main character Zoey gets marked which means she will become a vampyre in a few years. When she was marked she had excruciating pain on her forehead this is what happens when you get marked. After this happened to Zoey she got home as soon as possible to see what her mom would say and hoped that her mom would help her. This leads us to the next plot which is that the conflict grows larger. Zoey gets home and her mom calls her step dad to deal with this when he got home Zoey was in so much trouble for letting it happen to her. Her step dad thinks that he has a perfect little family job and home so this ruined his thinking. Once Zoey became a fledging no one would come near her not even her boyfriend named Heath. When Zoey came to the House of Night almost everyone expected her for who she was. This leads us to our last plot point in this book which is that the story ends in life symbolism. After a while at Zoey's new school she meets a guy named Erik.
Although the plot line is important you also need the characteristic to understand the book also. One of the characteristics is that evil is present but not harming in any way. In this book Aphrodite is the evil and Zoey is so strong and powerful that Aphrodite’s actions are funny in some ways. Also the good always shines through which is Zoey. When Zoey’s friends are around her they are interested in what she has to say.
This concludes the reason why I see this book as a romantic mode of literature. As I read this story I realized that when things are bad they always get better no matter how long it takes. Romantic books and movies are getting more popular every day.
