STARTERS AND ENDERS:
Portrait Of A Starter: An Unhidden Story by Lissa Price
A Drawing Of Things To Come!
When
he first put pencil to paper it was to capture her likeness, to capture
the essence of a girl he knew and trusted. In this new world after the
war there was little that was for curtain anymore but this was, she was.
Until his curiosity and protective nature got the better of him and he
realized that maybe he didn't know her as well as he thought. When he
had finally finished her likeness he realized that he captured more them
just an image of a girl, it was a portrait of a starter.
Portrait Of A Starter is Michael's perspective of life as a sixteen year old in this post war world. It is a world where the Enders, those who are over sixty, have it all while the Starters, those who are under twenty, are left to live on the streets or worse in institutions with nothing more then what they can beg, borrow or steal. It is an introduction to a unique dystopian world, an introduction to boy living with nothing more then what he can draw, an introduction to a girl with secrets.
