I am doing a Literary Criticism Reading Journal.
The Bar Code Tattoo The Bar Code Rebellion
By: Suzanne Weyn
At the beginning of the book, Kayla was just going with the flow. She was an average kid going to high school, getting good grades, going to parties, liking boys. What a normal teenage girl does. The only difference is the Bar Code Tattoo when you turn sixteen you can get it. You don't have to get so she figures it is not a problem. The Bar Code Tatton basically holds all of your information. Kayla's parent have it and her friends have it, everyone at her school has it. When she starts to doubt the Tattoo is when her parents act differently. Her dad got really stressed over the Tattoo and then killed himself. She met a group at school who disagreed with the Tattoo. Everyday she learned something new about this Tatton. There was also this boy in the group named Zekeal who she liked. They started dating but one day when she was at his house she found that he was working with the Bar Code Tattoo people. That day I think she learned not to trust people, especially what was happening. She soon got with Mfumbe and together and fought for their lives.
I think she matured because she had to survive on her own. She learned not to trust everyone she meets. She learned that life is not perfect and anything can happen. She also learned to stick up for herself and her beliefs.
