Important Event

I think one of the most important events in the novel is when Callum and the Liberation Militia kidnap Sephy. Callum writes her a letter asking her to meet him at their special place (the beach).Callum shows up but he seems very tense, like something is wrong. He kisses her and then she sees four noughts walking towards her. Callum looks regretful."He stepped away from me, his eyes filled with regret." - Sephy takes off running along the beach but is soon caught. She is dragged backwards. "Without dicing me a chance to catch my scattered breath he ultimately began to drag me backwards, his hands under my arms." -Sephy

Characters
This event shows the reader that Callum thought he was ready to forget about Sephy and commit to helping the Liberation Militia but it turns out he still loves Sephy and seems to regret his part in her kidnap.

We see that Sephy still cares about Callum and wants to see him. The part of her that wanted to see him was dominant over the part that recognised the fact that there could be risks.

Jude is willing to do whatever it takes to prove his self worth and make an impact.

The Liberation Militia believe they are being treated with injustice and wish to change that.

Setting
It is night time and dark so nobody would see Sephy being kidnapped. We know this because Sephy talked about clouds hiding the moonlight. The setting is a beach near her house which she visits often so she should know the area well. The ground was covered with rocks which injured her when she was being dragged.

Themes
Love: They hate each other but he still helps kidnap her which tells us that even when two people love each other, they must still do as they are commanded, even thought hurts themselves to hurt each other.

Racial Injustice: All of these problems begun because of racial injustice and shows us just how destructive racism can be and how it can affect people. Many things in the story prove that statement to be true. Ya so true y
