Who Is Kat Potente In Mr Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore

Decent Essays
Out of all the characters in Mr Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore, the most likely to begin a dialogue would be Kat Potente. She is a Google employee who dated Clay and attempted to decode the codex vitae with a bunch of other Googlers. I say she is likely to start a dialogue because of the many conversations she had with Clay about immortality and technology. Clay also says that “Kat’s utter directness suggests homeschooling, yet she is also completely charming.” Because of Kat’s directness, she would be great at sharing her opinions in a dialogue. She also works at a company that employs community and working together through their differences (shown by Product Management.) Because of Kat’s fantastic ideas and mindfulness, she would be the most

    Marie Snow’s refusal to acknowledge Kristina’s addiction makes her the in denial parent so often seen in YA literature. Within this genre, the in denial parent thinks “something is going on [with their child], but they just don’t get it,” so they ignore the problem and hope it goes away (Mallis).

Marie, “a wannabe writer and workout fanatic,” channels her energy into…
