Life used to be good, going to art college and everything. But now, Chloe's whole life is running away. She has no one to turn to but her group of supernatural friends, and she can't even contact her dad, to let him know she's alright. When she finally meets up with Simon and Derek, they are running for their lives in a perilous fight against the Edison Group. This story has a lot of action, some tragedy moments too. That is why this story is a tragedy.
There are a lot of moments in this story where someone gets hurt, or really close to hurt. Everything is tragic, and something bad always happens to them. Some symbolism is that the places they are in are usually dark, and the house they are temporarily living in a old, dusty house. From the text clues, it is about winter time, and that is part of the tragic mode. Also, there is some violence, like people shooting at them, and grazing the stitches on Chloe's arm. There are dogs barking and a huge back-and-forth chase, one catching another, then escapes, them more chasing, and vise versa.
They have a lot of travelling in this book, and they don't travel by choice. They are trying to run from the group that tried to take them at first, but soon got so angry with their plans to escape, that they are now trying to kill them. The death symbolism kind-of ends the story, you could say. She sees someone run in front of her and whisper, "come with me!" so she followed it, and realized that is was only a ghost that was trying to help her. She wondered, "was that my aunt? Is she dead?" She was feeling both the confused and sad emotions, and she hoped that her aunt wasn't dead.
These are just some of the reasons to why this story is a tragedy. This is a very interesting tragedy book, and the text is clear to clues and which mode it is. Therefore, this story is a epic tragedy.
