The independent book I was reading was called the Cirque De Freak series by Darren Shan. The story is about a kid whose name is also the authors name Darren Shan and his best friend Steve. There they meet many people with great abilities. But when Steve suspects that one of the performers as a vampire he asks to become a half blood vampire. But gets rejected to become one and then the main character gets forced in order to save his friend Steve who hates him for becoming a vampire. Then later he has to leave home with everyone believing he is dead. I wanted to include this book in this essay because it shows that Darren still saved his friend even after when his friend hated him.
 One inference I made is that Darren never used to be a half blood vampire but human. But when is best friend Steve got bit by a poisonous spider which nobody had the cure to except Mr.Creepsly the vampire. But then Dareen sacrificed his humanity and his family to become a vampire in order to get the cure to save Steve from dying. Darren only did this to save his friend and didn't want to create any misunderstandings. But Steve misunderstood him. This showed that Darren was a good friend to steve.
  The second inference I made was that when Steve turned into a bad vampire that tried to kill Darren but couldn't because of their powers. When Darren had the chance to kill Steve but didn't take it because he still considered Steve to be his friend. This showed that Darren wanted to be still friends with Steve but Steve didn't want to because Darren took the vampire powers.
  This relates to many people throughout the world because there are people who are friends and will still help there friend even if it causes a misunderstanding or a consequence.
