The title of the book is "The Dark Hills Divide” written by Patrick Carman. The genre of the book is fiction because it is a literary work of imagination of the author. From the setting to the characters of the story is produced by the imagination of the author, himself. The setting of the book is in the Land of Elyon. There are four places in the Land of Elyon.

The author got this message across when Alexa hesitated to do what is the task that is assigned to her when she had a conversation with Sherwin, Darius’ son. She is thinking that she is just nothing but a twelve year-old girl, with small and thin body. This conversation can be read at page 122, “Then when we have clearly thought wrong, and we should send you back. You’re small enough to use the tunnels and you have the right breeding, those things are true. What you lack is belief. If bringing down the wall would require you to fly, you must believe that you can fly.

I honestly confess that Alexa’s lack of belief is similar to what I feel when I am not confident enough to show what I’ve got. Sometimes, I feel scared when thinking of someone is relying to me because of the responsibility that they put upon my shoulder, like

By stepping outside of her comfort zone and travelling to Brazil to inquire upon the death of her friend and investigate the research of Dr. Swenson, Marina was able to overcome her longtime nightmare of blinding a baby during her residency period and delivered the child of a native woman. By doing so, she was able to set aside her fears of making a mistake and obtained the ability to forgive herself for harming a patient.
