Connections
Connection #1- In the book I am Number 4, the quarterback, Mark James, is obsessed with ex-cheerleader and his Ex-Girlfriend and all he wants to do is get her back. Until John Smith comes into the picture and steals Sarahs heart. This is just like Pyramus and Thisbe. Pyramus cant stop thinking about Thysbe just like Mark can stop thinking about Sarah.
Connection #2- In the book I am Number 4 the main character John Smith had to travel away from his home planet of Lorien to Planet Earth. Just like in the Greek Myth Orpheus & Eurydice, when they had to travel away from home in order to live.
Connection #3- In the book I am Number 4 no body likes the quarter back Mark James. He is not the nicest person and he is very jealous of John becasue he is starting to become close to Sarah. Mark is alot like Zeus, because they will both do anything to get their way.
