"City of Bones" by Cassandra Clare

                Over the summer, I read "City of Bones" by Cassandra Clare, again. Clary Fray, the main character, is thrown into a world of monsters and death but is still able to appear steady. She finds out she was never who she thought she was. Inside she feels scared and overwhelmed, but outside she stays cool. This happens throughout all parts of the book in different ways.
                On page 12, it says "'I'm not going anywhere,' Clary said. 'If i do you'll kill him.'" This shows that even though she is in the middle of three killers, and might be really scared, she'll still stand up to them. She is raging with emotion inside, but cool and collected on the out side. Also, on page 167, "She said nothing, biting the inside of her lip. She hated the idea of someone reaching inside her head..." This sentence shows that on the inside she hates an idea, but on the outside, she only expresses nervousness because of biting her lip. Two different emotions at the same time.
               The book was great. So much detail put into the character's emotions makes it seem like you are Clary inside the book. Clary's emotions really helps the reader understand how she really feels about things. Even though her emotion is totally different on the outside.
