Researcher

Some elements of the occult are covered in this book. The word occult means "knowledge of the paranormal". While these girls may have a knowledge of relams and sprits, they are not practicing anything surrounding the occult. Many religons argue that the occult is purely supernatural and has nothing to do with a higher power. In this book, the occult is highly frowned upon and look at as evil.

  1. This is interesting but this isn't really researching a topic within the book. I feel that this is more along the lines of a summary.

  2. I think that this interesting because a lot of people argue that many things are occults. I'm in BBYO and my dad thinks it's a occult.

  3. I didnt really know what a occult was. Now knowing that it means the knowledge of the paranormal, I can really see that this was used alot in the story. A central theme to the story could be an occult. From the drawing in the caves, to the actuall use of the "visions", occults are used in mist parts of the book.
