I started reading Unearthly by Cynthia Hand. I love this book. I just started and it will be finished by tomorrow. It is a teen romance and fantasy novel. It also has a love triangle which I love in a good trilogy. In this book, there is a girl named Clara. She is an angel who just found out her purpose. Her purpose is a vision that angel's have when they have grown old enough. This vision shows them the purpose they were put on earth for. In her vision, is a guy named Christian and he's in a fire. She thinks that her purpose might be to save him. She feels as if her destiny is to be with him, until she meets a guy named Tucker, who she falls in love with while Christian is out of town.
On the night her purpose is supposed to be revealed, she has to save Tucker from the fire before she can save Christian, but it turns out that saving Christian wasn't her purpose because he has a secret of his own. By fighting destiny and choosing Tucker over her purpose, she is now confused because she doesn't know her real reason for being an angel anymore. Her purpose might actually last longer that just one night and it may turn into something bigger and more dangerous than she thought. If you are interested in this genre of book, I would definitely recommend it. It is a page-turner and has a good theme. The theme is about finding your purpose and realizing that you might be headed down a different road than what you were expecting. Change is good and embrace the unexpected...

Satire
The purpose of this cartoon is to show how new voter ID laws have become so complicated that it's getting harder and harder to be eligible to vote. This is definitely an example of satire. The type of satire that is being used in this cartoon is juvenalian satire. I know this because after reading this cartoon, it might stir up some anger with the audience. It might cause them to see that it's true and they might want to provoke change in the government because of it. I also know it's juvenalian because it targets and attacks the government and their laws, and because the mood of this cartoon is angry and pessimistic.
