Dear Michael,

Do you remember we were talking about the actress Amanda Stenberg? Well, last night Ivonne
and I watched a movie called The Darkest Mind on a laptop and she was in it. It’s a recent movie it
premiered in 2019 and it’s an amazing movie. I talk a little bit about this movie...

In a dystopian USA, a contagious disease kills nearly 98% of all children and teenagers, leaving the
survivors with unusual abilities. These survivors with superpowers are imprisoned. Ruby Daly is an
orange which means she has the psionic ability to get into people's mind. She escapes her prison
and joins a resistance group (League) to fight for her future. Cate, a worker at the camp, provides
Ruby with a panic button that can be activated as a tracker if she is in danger. When Ruby gets
visions while touching Rob, another League member, she becomes suspicious of their intentions.
Ruby makes her escape with a mute little girl named Zu, a Yellow. Zu takes Ruby to Liam, a Blue,
and his friend Charles (Chubs), a green. The three agree to let Ruby join them as they try to make
their way to "East River," a purported safe haven led by an Orange named Slip Kid.

Journeying to East River, Ruby and Liam begin to develop a romantic connection, but Ruby refuses
to touch him, fearing that her powers will hurt him. At East River, Slip Kid is revealed to be the
president's son, Clancy Gray, who is an Orange. He teaches Ruby how to control her powers, and
in return, has Ruby teach him how to erase people's memories. During this process, Clancy
controls her mind and kisses her.
It is revealed that Clancy is using his powers to control the government, and wants to use his new
memory-erasing powers to turn Ruby to his side and forget her friends, but she manages to escape
with the others. Liam flees with all of the haven kids, while Ruby faces off against Clancy,
destroying the camp and making her escape with Chubs. Chubs is severely injured, leaving Ruby no
choice but to use her panic button to call the League for help.
The League gets Chubs to a hospital and lets Zu leave with a protective family. Ruby convinces
Cate to release Liam in return for taking his place as a soldier in the League. Knowing that Liam will
never leave without her, Ruby kisses him and erases all of his memories of her. Liam leaves the
camp, while Ruby begins her training with her fellow powered kids in the League.
The part that most surprise me it was when Ruby decided erase Liam’s memory, I was vey
surprised.
Well that’s enough from me. God bless you.

Chat later,

Jorge
