 * I Am The Cheese Reader Response**

I think Cormier's message is about trust and betrayal in the book __I am The Cheese__. His purpose is also to warn us about what the message is. I think the message is about trust and betrayal because Adam's dad trusts the Grey Man, but in the end when Adam's parents are killed, Adam thinks the Grey Man was responsible for the murder which brings in the betrayal part. And this warns us readers that who ever you trust may betray you in the end.

In the book Paul's life changes when his father finds corruption in the government. People come after him and his famil. Then Grey man enters their life and gains their trust. He helps them to not be exposed about their previous life. Then one day when they were driving and got out to strech their legs. They saw a car coming and thought it was Grey Man keeping an eye on the. And then the car hit them and Adam believes it was Grey Man, who betrayed them. I can also relate this book to Shrek the movie because Puss in Boots is a villian tring to kill Shrek for the king, but then Puss turns on the king and villians and helps Shrek get rid of the Fairy Godmother and Prince Charming.

In real life today and in the past people trust each other and then betray them. Back in ancient rome they would make alliances with other factions and then betray them to conquer their land. Many other civiliztaions did this too. Lindsay Lohan she went to rehab for her drug addiction. I bet when she was younger her parents told her not to and now what. Well, she betrayed them just like Grey did to Adam's family.

I can relate this story to me and I bet many others can as well, and the same reason. Well, I would tell my freinds a secret or gossip and I would say "don't tell anyone or else". And what happened well they betrayed me after I told them not to. I'm sure this has happened to most people. And then after you find out you feel like you can't trust them anymore. I have another one my dog goes to the bathroom in the house and we tell her not to anymore after awhile you trust her again. Then she betrayed me my going to the bathroom in the house again.

So I got out of the reading that the message is trust and and betrayal and the purpouse was to warn people. And as you can see I can relate to it and have thing relate to it as well. I got this idea from the end pf the book when Adam's parents are killed. Then Adam sees grey pants and asumes its Grey Man.
