The Bar Code Tattoo 2017 discussion

Do the characters seem real and believable? Can you relate to their predicaments? To what extent do they remind you of yourself or someone you know?

I don't believe most of these people,they already have 2 people who have betrayed them.I can't exactly relate to them because it has never happened to me.They remind me a bit of my friend from Florida whom had betrayed one of my other friends to gain something.

I think the characters seem real and believable. I think that because Amber is trying to peer pressure Kayla into getting a tattoo. But some people like Mfumbe and Zekeal are trying to talk her out of it. And a lot of things like that happen in the real world.

Tanvi, I don't agree with you because a lot of the stuff that is happening in the book happens in the real world. Like when people try to peer pressure people into doing things they don't want to do.

The characters are real and believable, because in the story there is people trying to peer pressure people to do things that they don't want to because either its cool, it will change your life or get it because every one else has it. In the story Amber is trying to do that to Kayla to get the tattoo. Peer pressure happens mostly every day at school and kids normally don't know how to handle or turn down.

I agree with this because in the real world there is so much peer pressure and it affects people but there will also be people who try and talk them out of it.

I do not agree with you because the stuff in the book right now happens every day in our lives. Peer pressure happens in so often in middle school.

I guess you are right,people get pressured all the time to do drugs and alcohol so I guess I just forgot that it happens in real life to.

Yes, they seem real. They remind me of myself by the way that they are acting. They seem to act like they are very scared with what is happening.

Yes, I believe they seem very realistic. They remind me of some people in our grade and my self too. They are very cautious and it seems like they have a opened mind for what's going on tat it's terrifying to them and they are scared.
