ISU Blog #1 Social issue: Corruption

The book i have chosen is called Dark inside by Jeyn Roberts, it is the story of 4 young people Mason, Aries, Clementine and Michael all trying to survive in a world that was destroyed. Destroyed by what you might ask, it was Humans the darkness that was building up in the hearts of humans snapped and the darkness took over which corrupted us. In the  book it is described as an ancient evil that was set free causing a series of Earthquakes and then taking over those with enough hate in them.Those possessed by this darkness were very dangerous, but unlike zombies or any other creatures in apocalyptic movies, these Baggers they called them were armed intelligent humans who would hunt the uncorrupted ones down and kill them.  Even those who were pure and not corrupted

were surrounded by death everywhere and started hearing voices in their heads, voices that would tell them to do horrific things, Black veins in the eyes are the only indicators of possession and those with  strong enough hate and mind could even bypass that, so who can you trust ? Nobody.
At the beginning,using perspective changes the book describes the situation every single one of these Teens were in before the apocalypse and then it describes the events leading up to the downfall of civilization. Most of them join other survivors and head north where its rumoured to be safe, Clementine however travels north on a Quest to find her brother Heath who also travelled north in hope of a safe place to stay. Eventually all 4 of them including other group members who joined on the way, coincidentally meet during a huge attack and they all fight together. The Book is left on a cliff hanger without a real solution to the Apocalypses, However there was a solution to the Social issue  shown in the book, it was Trust and Love,  Even though the groups had to go through so much in the end the trust they had amongst each other was what helped them prevail. They trusted each other even when they should not have.
