Extended plot and theme sections
To whoever wrote this: damn fine job. A lot better than it used to be... --24.180.237.105 (talk) 15:44, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Most of the stuff on the page has been copied word for word from Sparknotes.com. The Plot and the Themes, Motifs, and Symbols are identical to what is on Sparknotes. Is that legal? --Drew2794 (talk) 14:40, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
 * The Themes, Motifs, and Symbols section reads like an analysis in a school textbook or something. Can someone please remedy this? Because I suck at that kind of thing RenegadeSanta (talk) 22:08, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
 * if copied, which i will check, its a total copyright violation. If not, ALL analysis needs to be SOURCED from other critics and academics, and not just written here. usually, this level of detail is reserved for works with sourced, multiple commentary. until someone can take the time to find multiple criticisms, source them, and summarize them here, most of this will have to go as original research at best, copyvio at worst. bye bye.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 05:06, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, all copyright vio. good eye, but we can ALWAYS deleted confirmed copyright violations, without notice. all thats left is the character list. someone needs to reformat it and give brief character descriipts, along with a plot synopsis. no sense having a section called PLOT with no content.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 05:21, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Great work on the original plot synopsis and the removal of the character list, which i thought was excessive.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 06:43, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism
This article is a target of vandalism, and should be semi-protected. not surprising considering the content and its likely effect on young readers (thats a positive comment, by the way. If literature stirs up feelings, thats good. We just cant be a repository for such emotional responses)Mercurywoodrose (talk) 06:40, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Article Reconstruction Plan
Hi everyone,

I am planning on adding the following changes to the article in the next few days. First, I have decided to re-structure the article into the following sections: Lead, Background, Plot Summary, and Reception. I have decided to re-structure the article in this way because I feel like the current "Sequel and prequel" section can be easily tied into another section. Next, I plan on rewriting the Lead section to be representative of the following sections and to give a wider overview of the article than the current Lead does. I feel like the current Lead does not effectively cover the information covered in the rest of the sections. More specifically, my new Lead will include 3 brief descriptions of the following 3 sections. I will also be rewriting the "Influence of author's military experience on his writing" section by removing its current plagiarized information and including a wider overview of Myers' background as an author; I will also be re-naming the section to "Background" because I will be expanding beyond the author's military experience. For those of you who may not know, Walter Dean Myers is a very well-accomplished author and I strongly feel that a section about him would add a lot to the overall quality of the article. Additionally, I plan on rewriting the "Plot Summary" section to expand upon the current sentence in the section. I feel like the current state of the section does not include enough information to give the reader a solid idea of the plot. I have built out several paragraphs that will give the reader a much more thorough understanding of the novel's storyline. Lastly, I plan on rewriting the "Critical reception" section by including different kinds of reception that the novel has received. This section only addresses the positive reception that the novel has received and does not acknowledge the vast amount of negative reception that it has received. I have decided to re-name the section to "Reception" and it will include two main paragraphs that highlight perspectives from both proponents and critics of the novel.

If you have any comments or concerns about my current plans, please let me know. I hope you all agree with the content gaps that I noticed and support the changes that I intend to make so that the overall quality of the article can be significantly raised.
