Author James Preller dives into the depths of bullying
in his novel The Fall. Sam Proctor was an average teenager, just wanting to be
accepted by those around him. Wanting to be part of the “in-crowd,” he decided
to give in and participate in the bullying of his friend, Morgan. Who is
Morgan? Morgan is a girl who got on Athena Luikin’s bad side. Once this
happened, there was no going back. Athena set out to make Morgan’s life miserable,
which eventually led to Morgan’s death. You see, the whole school took turns
posting an anonymous mean message to her social media page, each night a new
person with a new comment. However, no one could’ve expected Morgan to take
that step, no one could have known. This book focuses on the internal moral
battle of standing up for those you care about, or giving into your own desire
to be accepted. Are you ready for The Fall?
