Barf Scarf

The book that i'm currently reading is called "The 13th reality Journal of Curious Letters" by James Dashner. This book is a fantasy book about a normal boy named atticus higenbottom a.k.a Tick. Whos life starts to change when he recives a strange letter from someone named M.G. Tick has to solve a whole bunch of riddles that this M.G. guy sends him. He meets a lot of people on his journey and meets a lot of dangerous creatures too. Tick has to do something very important on a certain day and if he fails horrible things would happen to his loved ones.
In the story Tick is the nerd in school who always gets bullied. Tick also wears a big scarf that covers a big birthmark on his neck. Tick never takes the scarf off no matter how hot it is because he is to insecure about what eveone else would think. But as Tick begins to solve the mistery of the riddles and gets closer to his friend Sofia he doesnt even notice his birthmark anymore as he has his scarf off. When Tick finaly realizes that his scraf was off he puts it back on without even thinking. Is Tick that insecure? Sofia didn't even notice as they were having a good time working together, but Tick felt to insecure about her seeing it again so he put it on again.
I think that these riddles that M.G. is sending them isn't just helping Tick by saving people, but it is also helping Tick be happy with the way he was born and not caring about what other people think about a birthmark that he has. When Tick first had his scarf off it shows how Tick is learning to accept the way he was born and sofia didnt really care about it.
I think that by the end of the book Tick would learn to accept himeself the way he is. And I also think that all of his insecurties will go away as he solves these riddles. The closer that Tick gets to his friend the less he has to worry about his birthmark and he could probably could stick up to those bullies that he was feeling so insecure to. The closer that Tick gets to solving these riddles will be the closer he gets to believing in himself.
