The author of the book "marked" is P.C. Cast + Kristin Cast some interesting information from her biography is:

2. Name and describe the main character(s). Are they static or dynamic? What motivates them? (A static character does not change, a dynamic character changes as a result of his or her experiences)

The main character in this book is Zoey Redbird. She is a 16-year-old girl in the novel. She is a dynamic character in the novel because she gets marked by a vampire. That means that she is going to become a vampire as well. After that her whole life changed.
3. What is the novel setting? Why, in your opinion, did the author choose this setting for this novel?
The setting of this novel is at a high school meant for vampires. In my opinion I think that the author chose to use this as the setting because it is about a 16-year-old who gets marked by a vampire. She can't go back to her old school or to her our family. That meant she had to go to a special high school called The House of Night that is meant for her kind.
4. If you could be any character in the novel, who would you be? Why that character?
I think if I could be any character in the novel I would be Stevie Rae. The reason why I would be her is because she is a very nice person. She would go out of her way to help you even though she doesn't know you. She is Zoey's best friend even though no one likes her. Also she is a brave character in the novel.

5. Would you like to read more books from the same author? Why?
Yes I would love to read more books or novels from this author. The reason why I would love to read more is because in her novels she gets very descriptive so I can imagine what is happening in the book and also the way the novel flows when you read it to yourself or out load.

6. Does the novel interest you, irritate you or both? Explain

8. Describe a main events. Where does the climax take place?

One of the main events that I liked in this book was when Zoey when to a ritual with the Dark Daughters and Sons. Zoey don’t know that she drank blood when the leader Aphrodite walked around with a bowl and offer it to her. When Zoey found out she was very upset with Aphrodite that she did that to her.

9. What are the scenes, incidents or moments which you remember most vividly?

The last scene in the book is very hard to describe. Basically she saved very one how was in the ritual with the Dark Daughter and Sons. I think this scene was disturbing because the leader Aphrodite was raying sprites to try to get more powers.

10. Different the main conflicts that take place in the novel.

I think main conflict that happen in this book would between Zoey and Aphrodite. They both dislike each other and it is all because that Zoey has great power and she is scare that Zoey will take her place as the leader of the Dark Daughters. Also that Zoey is dating her ex boyfriends and she don’t like it because she still like him.
