"But today was different. There was something very satisfying about being pushed by somebody and responding by pushing back."(Lore 53) This quote is very significant to the story. It is significant because this shows that the main character will put himself out there and be noticed. This is a huge risk. The things that are tracking him down will be able to find him easier. If he chooses not to retaliate he will be taking the safer route of which his successor would like him to do.
     The best thing about I Am Number Four is it shows life of someone being different. The main character is very different. He is not human and he moves around from school to school every six months or so. That is very different from my life. I have stayed in Mason all of my life, and yes I am a human not a superhero like the main character. That is what interests me about most books. The author does a great job of conveying a mood that You know the characters in the story and like your living his life too.
     The main character is short, but stocking. He is very strong due to his super ability. The only other character who is in the book most of the time, he is the main characters " father figure." He protects the main character, takes care of him, and gives him advice just like a parent would. These two characters don't have names that stay constant. Since they are always moving their names change too.
