The book I chose is The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. This book is about a group of teens recruited by the FBI for their physiological abilities. The teenagers are able to solve cold cases easily and are being trained more for when they are older and can enter the FBI. In this quotation the main character Cassie is learning how to properly solve the cases. She is learning how to make her brain able to analyze the suspects ifferently to a normal person.
Cassie realizes profiling isn’t just about solving puzzles; it’s about stepping into someone else’s mind, even when that mind is broken. To catch the killer, she has to think like them, she has to feel what they feel and that terrifies her more than anything. page 151
In this quotation Cassie is realizing that trying to analyze a person for the FBI she needs to think like them and get into their brain. It scares her that she will have to think like a murderer, see how they feel, and analyze why their every move. it also scares her that she will have be able to go in and out the suspects mind.
