Birthmarked 
 
Gaia is a midwife who has just delivered her first baby by herself
...
 When Gaia learns that her parents are to be executed for their crimes, she sneaks into 
the Enclave to speak with her mother one last time
...
 
Gaia is quickly arrested and interrogated, forced to choose between death and the betrayal of her 
parents
...
 At first it 
appears that Gaia's efforts have been too late
...
 A man comes 
into the barn where she is hiding and Gaia is forced to run
...
 The child, who has miraculously begun to breathe, is taken from her by an Enclave 
doctor
...
 Gaia finds herself in a difficult 
situation, forced to betray her parents or face death
...
 
The major themes in this novel is society's corruption, lack of resources, and survival 
whereas the setting of the novel is in a post apocalyptic world
...
  Being one of the few known places in which people can 

 

inhabit now the outer community has no choice but their follow the Enclave’s demands
...
 
This book is ap worthy because both sides of the story could be argued to be the best for 
the stories plot
...
  There is also 
situational irony in the fact that the three dots poked into each baby's leg from Gaia’s district 
could potentially represent the genetic strain that is resistant to the disease killing all of the 
babies inside of the Enclave when its original purpose was to represent Gaia’s older brother and 
his birthmark
