Archetypes

The archetypal action or event that best fit The Mediator: Shadowland is a journey. Since Susie embarks on a journey to perform a exorcism on Heather so that she wouldn't be able to kill Susie, Bryce, or Susie's step-brother. The arcetypal setting would probably have to the sea since so many unusal things are happening. Susie is an inocent embarking on a journey to get rid of Heather so she will not hurt anybody else. The author of the book did use archetypes when she wrote this book.

I chose this link because it is the official site of the author named Meg Cabot who wrote The Mediator: Shadowland the book that I read. Plus, it has a lot of different information on herself and the different books that she wrote.

Recommendation

I actually don't really like to read but I actually did enjoy this book because it wasn't boring. Since you had no idea what would happen next. I would recommend this book to people that are into ghosts and like a little bit of excitement. It would be more for teenagers than adults since has to do with high school drama and all teenagers know how high school drama goes.

Character Development

At the beginning of my book it started off having this girl named Susie is a teenager living with her grandma in New York because her mother got married and moved to California. Susie then decided to move to California to live with her mother where she would live her step-father Andy and her three step-brothers Doc, Dopey, and Sleepy. When she started at her new she meet Father Dominic and Bryce Martinson. Few days later she found out that Bryce's ex-girlfriend Heather had committed suicide since he broke up with her over the break. Heather happened to be a ghost in the school who was trying to get revenge on Bryce for breaking up with her and making her kill herself.

Heather then learned by the end of the book that she was not meant to be around any more causing harm to everyone in the school. So, Susie decided to make exorcism take place so Heather would go back to where she belonged so everyone else can get on with their lives.

Conflict and Resolution

The conflict in my book was when Susie found out that Heather Bryce Martinson's ex girlfriend was wanting to him, herself, and her step-brother Doc because she was mad at Susie because she just came into the school and took her spot.

The resolution of the story was that Susie was finally able to perform an exorcism on Heather meaning she could finally get rid of her so she wouldn't be in the school anymore and won't be able to attempt to kill Bryce and everyone else wanted to kill.

Best and Worst Parts

The worst part of the book had to be at the beginning when they were telling me about her mother getting married and how is going to move to California. The reason I didn't like that part was because it was boring and not very interesting to me.

The best part of the book had to the middle and end. I thought this part was interesting because that's when the ghost started coming into the book and started to get feeling why Susie wanted to get rid of Heather.
