 * //Quote//**: "You know it's never fifty-fifty in a marriage. It's always seventy-thirty, or sixty-forty. Someone falls in love first. Someone puts someone else up on a pedestal. Someone works very hard to keep things rolling smoothly; someone else sails along for the ride."======

Jodi Picoult is on the New York Times best sellers list. Picoult has written many books, such as **//The Pact, Nineteen Minutes, and My Sister's Keeper.// This book is about 400 pages but like her other books, should be a good read and something that you can't put down. **//**Book Proposal:**//====== The book that this group would like to read is **//Mercy//** by Jodi Picoult. We would like to read this book because this book relates to things that we are learning about during class. **//Mercy//** is a book about a police chief named Cameron McDonald who looses his wife. This book contains how is wife died, the trial after her death, along with the aftermath of the trial. This book relates to what we have been learning this year because during the trial there are counter arguments made and evidence needs to be show in order for attorneys to make a case. In class we always need concrete evidence to make our point. Though the evidence we use when we present in class isn’t used in a courtroom, the concept is just the same. Finally, we believe that we should read this book because a major part of the book is about morals, and what people have as their own personal morals, and whether people think their morals are appropriate. We as a group that this is one of the main things that we discussed as a class this year and thought that it was great that we found a book that talked about morals, and moral obligations.
 * //Mercy//** is a drama mixed in is always a love triangle. Personally we as a group are interested in books that involve a love story and drama as well. Jodi Picoult is a great writer and her other books that we have read never left us disappointed. We think that we would enjoy this book because she has an interesting way of writing that captures her reader. This book discusses the trial in depth as well as what happened with the love triangle that is a major part of the book.
