Hard things in Inda

     In this book I'm reading, Inda, the main character, Inda, the son of a noble, is in a military academy. He and his friends are in a intrigue filled feud with another group of boys. I find the way some of the boys act and think kind of hard to read, because I feel like that often. The things i find hard are hard for me because these are feelings I have about my own family, resentments I have of peers, and many things that are reflections of parts I don't like as much about myself.
     I believe the author of the book is saying something about the nature of children, and the hard things say that kids aren't always nice. In the book, the story is  sort of mirrored up to the adult world, and its own politics and intrigue. i think the author is saying how deep down everyone is essentially a kid, and a blood feud between two families is the same thing in its essence as a schoolyard squabble.
     Another effect of the similiarity of the characters to me and people I know is that it makes the book better, and makes me want to read it more. It's like you are doing these things, and you want to find out what happens to yourself.
