Ignite Me By Tahereh Mafi

         

Tricia Roserie


            In the novel Ignite me, my favorite character would have to be the main character only because she's very lost in the beginning of the book. The novel is about a girl, Juilette, who has telekinesis powers and has been locked up because she is seen as a monster, but she isn't locked up by law enforcement  but its more of a utopian controlled lifestyle. She is sent to be locked up by her mother and is used as a weapon, and because she hated hurting people, she decided to escape but to escape she needed to open up to people who could help her. However, opening up was one of the biggest struggles she needed to overcome throughout the entire novel. Juilette goes through waves of ups and downs because of how difficult it is to get away from the people who are trying to put her in harms way. However, she is extremely determined not to go back to the jail cell that she was in.
           Juilette definitely highlights the entire book, her development shows how strong one person can be espesically when they really need to be. Throughout the book she slowly discovers that there are other people who have some type of special talent/skill and develops a sister/brother bond realizing that she is not the only one in that situation.
           This book is the last book of the series and Juilettes's growth is remarkable, she goes from a girl who wanted to hide, to a bold girl that will take anything that's in her way. After reading this book, obstacles can seem immense only to have a minute solution.
