The Way of Quil

 So I'm reading this book by Lisa McMann (one of my two favorite authors). The book is called The Unwanteds. In this book the city they live in,  Quil, separates its people in to three groups: Wanted, Necessary, and Unwanted. The Wanteds are given more schooling and are shipped of to join the Quilitary. The Necessaries are sent to work on the farms. The Unwanteds are killed. Only heres the catch, The Unwanteds aren't really killed, this nice man takes them under his wing and sends them to a conceiled school called Artim'e where they learn that they can do magic. Yada yada yada,  If you get a chance to read it do. I wrote about it because I feel like  we are seperated like this. The ones every one 'wants'  are the popular ones that get everything they want in life looking down upon the 'Unwanteds'. The ones we find 'necessary' are the ones that you say what's up to in the hall way, they never have much of a problem. Then there are the people like me 'Unwanted' you never look twice at us. We just create half the things you use on a daily basis. Everone looks at us like we are dead. Unlike in the book,  most of the Unwanteds in real life are unattractive, like myself.
