Among the Hidden is about these two kids named Luke and Jen who have to hide their whole entire lives because they are shadow children. There is a law that says that you can only have two children. Jen is planning this rally where all third children can go to to try to become free! But then that is where the bad part comes in!! Jen goes to the rally and the Population Police kill all 800 shadow kids. Luken didn't want to go so he stayed at home. Then he founds out and Jen's dad tries to give him a fake I.D. Caitlyn Adams

[edit] Emotions: Fake or a Prediction for what is to come

As you read this you begin to think, "Could this really happen." And the truth is I really do think it could and will. As you look at counties like China, Jordan, Kenya, and even parts of the U.S. you see that food is a huge problem and didn't the problem start with the drought and subsequently famine. So as we see these problems all over the world and over population we seem to be in a transition phase. We can't help every one and we don't have a plan so population laws seem practical. That is where the emotions in the book play a key factor. Everyone feels differently, some are sad for Jen and Luke. While others arangy they break laws. Still others are proud and excited so would help shadow children. I actually do think that these laws could help. If any one has views on whether or not population laws seem like a possibility please tell me.--Fiyero554 04:15, 20 August 2006 (UTC)Fiyero554
