Forest of Hands and Teeth
The book The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan is about a girl named Mary who lives in a village surrounded by a fence, protecting them from the Unconsecrated (zombies). Mary has a crush on Travis, though she has been promised to marry his brother instead. The people in charge do not like her crush on Travis as he is also engaged to someone else. If you were in Mary's situation, what would you choose to do?

If i was in Mary's situation i would see if travis would feel the same way about me and if he does then i would try to get out of my relationship with his brother so that we could be together and if he doesn't feel that way about then i would try to get over it.
I definitely agree with Kathleen in tht i would hope that he would feel the same about me and then i would try to make it work...the only problem having to do with the brother that i was engaged to and the girl(who happens to be marys best friend, by the way) who travis was engaged to. It might cause a problem with them, so it might be hard to make a relationship with travis work without causing a fued, which definitly is NOT what you need when living in a town that is surrounded by a fence!!!! You would never be able to escape their anger or jealousy, so i would try to make everyone happy..maybe find someone else that Travis's brother and my best friend might be interested in to keep them from being upset. that is how i think i would deal with this situation
i do not agree because i feel she should just follow the rules and not go with Travis because that will just lead to trouble and the willl be better off that way.:)
i would continue likeing him no one can control my feeling for other people
I do not agree with mr. shwartzo3o5 because would you want to live with someone you didn't love??? No, especually since you are in love with someone else... I would first tell the truth to Travis's brother(forgot his name) and then voice my feelings to Travis. Even if it didn't work as planned then I would know I tried and did everything I could to try to change the outcome...p.s GREAT BOOK!!!!!!!!
I also agree with Kathleen and AF313. First i would see if he feels the same way about me, then base what's next to come, on that. If he likes me too, then I would probably try to make it work with him; but if Travis doesn't like me back, then i think that i would just have to deal with it. I would still get to see him considering i married his brother, and try to be happy.
i sort of agree with kathleen and af313. if i like tavis i should be able to marry him. i would first talk to travis, to see if he likes me back. then i would talk to travis' brother, to ask if i can marry travis [only if travis likes me back] i would only do this if its not against the law to marry travis.
if travis likes me, his brotehr says its okay and so does travis' bride; then i have every right to marry travis.
If i was in marys situation i would see if travis likes me as much as i liked him. If he liked me bach i would tell the people in charge yo back off and leave us be because we like each other.
i agree with mykaela. i shouldn't be forced to marry someone i dont love. i would not want to have to marry their brother, expecially. after i told travis's brother the truth, i would tell travis and hope things turned out the way i planned.
*loved the book!*
If I were in Mary's situation I would talk to Travis about whats happeing. If he liked me as much as i liked him i would talk to his brother and see if theres anyway he and his brother could make a trade. If not I would find a way to get over him. Things always happen for a reason, so maybe me marying his brother was meant to happen.
If I were in Mary's situation I would keep to my feelings instead of forcing myself to like someone I don't. If they would have a problem with it and try to punish him or me, I would just let them. They can't make people love someone they don't wish to love. If anything I would just let them see that they can't control me and that they can punish me, arrest me do whatever they want but I won't marry him.
If I found myself in this situation then i just go through with it i mean if you do not do it then everyone will hate you. I agree with mr shwartzo305 because even though you may prefer to be with someone else it would be better off just following orders.
If i was in Marys situation i would go to Travises parents and tell them "I know that i promised to marry your son but i have a crush on your other son Travis".
I agree with kathleen i would find out if he liked me first then i would figure somthing out if he did like me i would try to switch the parners like my husband marrys his wife and i marry Travis if he didnt like me i would just try to get over it
if i was in marys situation, i would probably make sure that Travis had the same feelings for me, and then told my parents or whoever had arranged the marriage for his brother and i, that i really have true feelings for his brother, and i feel like me and my fiance should just be friends. on the other hand, i think that i would stay content with my current love, and eventually get over Travis.
I also agree with Kathleen. I would see if he likes me first then I wouldn't care what anyone said.However, if he didnt like me than I would go on with my life and maybe try to find some things alike with me and Travis's brother.Or maybe if I didn't like his brother at all then I would probably see if I could cut the marriage off.
If she would get in trouble; like getting kicked out then it wouldn't be worth it like Charlie M said, if there are zombies out there then it wouldn't be a very good idea to get kicked out of the only safe place around.
i dont know if i'm supposed to respond this week but I agree with kathleen. She is right about getting out of the relationship if he likes her. good comment
i believe that her crush is wrong because she is already engaged
i think that she should see if travis likes her, and if he does she find a way out of her engagement, if she dosnt like the brother. she should be happy with travis not sad with his brother.
If I was in her position i would just marry his brother because if Travis is getting married there is on point in still liking him.
