  Text Title:  Cinder

Text Type: Book text

Text creator: Marissa Meyer 

Text Purpose: Novel

Date: Friday, February 26th

What Genre does this book belong to? 

This book belongs to the novel section and is also a fictional story. I know this because in the story the main character is a cyborg with a metal hand and a metal foot. this character also has many brain features like being able to detect lies, download things straight to her brain which is rather fascinating to thing about. The main character has a companion named Iko which is a little android robot that can go retrieve, or take stuff away at request. From my knowledge i don't think anyone has any technology that is capable of doing activities like that all from voice activation whilst the robot being able to have proper conversations by free will. All of this seem very futuristic which makes it a fictional book.  

What is the text about? How do we know? 

From what we have read, the story is about a teenage cyborg girl who is the best android mechanic is the whole area but she has no interest in letting other people know she is only half human. This story's setting is very futuristic as there are android companions being there to help out. From what we have seen the people that live in the same town as this cyborg lady don't want their kids to go anywhere near her. In the end of the first chapter, its all about a kid who has "the plague" We have currently not found out what this plague is but Cinder (the main character) shut the door to her mechanic shop and sat quietly on the concrete floor not wanting to be heard so from this it suggests that the "Plague" is a scary terrible thing.
