"Torn" by Amanda Hocking

In my book there has been a recurring theme of cruelty and unkindness towards people who are or look different. I think that this is wrong, just because someone is different or isn't perfect doesn't mean that they are not good people or don't have kind hearts. In my book there is this character called Willa and she is very high up in society and she extremely condensing to anyone below her rank. She is very picky with who she chooses to be her friends, they have to look perfect and have to be rich otherwise she won't even think about being their friend. Willa is an example of what people shouldn't be, she judges people on their looks and bank account, not on their personality and values. Another example of this cruelty and unkindness in my book is the curse of goblinism in the Vittra kingdom. When a child is born in the Vittra kingdom (which is very rare as the curse makes most Vittra women infertile) the child looks like a goblin. Automatically the child is taken away from his/her mother and is raised by the government as a slave. No goblin is allowed to live a normal life, they are exploited and put to work as soon as they can work. This is awful and nobody should be treated like that based on what they are or what they look like.
