The book Brainjack by Brian Falkner is about a talented hacker who learns the dangers of the digital world. He also experiences tight situations which cause others around him to view him displaying criminal like behavior. One example of criminal behavior that takes place in my book is when Sam escapes the CDD (Cyber Department Division). With Dodge's unconscious body on the floor, Sam then enters. Sam then tries to wake him up. While Sam does so, a staff then enters. The staff then sees Sam next to Dodge's body and thinks he was responsible for the injury of Dodge. He also blamed Sam for the major hack that almost took the CDD down as given with his records of countless break-ins. Groups of staffs hear this then come over to the room as they also believe Sam was responsible for such. Even though Sam didn't do anything wrong, he then barges through the many groups of staffs. When he reaches outside, Sam then finds Vienna and asks her for help. She was only going to compliant if she was told what was going on. Vienna says yes only because it's to get Dodge and them into a safe area. These actions allow Sam and Vienna to be viewed as criminals because if they run away they look guilty even thought they didn't do anything.

Another example of criminal behavior that happens in my book was when Sam broke out of the secured juvenile prison. Within the first day of entering the juvenile prison, Sam meets a boy named Kiwi. It also turns out that he was also put in jail for the same reasons as Sam. He then tells Kiwi that he had a plan to get. Sam realized that Kiwi can help his plan function a bit better knowing he too had great computer skills. Sam developed his plan even more by taking notes for the layout of the prison for three weeks. After the three weeks Sam immediately put his plan into motion. Due to such careful planning, Sam was then able to escape. Sam would be taking a huge risk by doing this because if he got caught and stopped, then they could throw him in actual prison for the rest of his life.

The artist was trying to figure out a way to put powerful words in it so it would be memorable. His inspiration was not based on anything personal. Certain words like "Caddy" made for a good rhyme within the song. The use of the word "Caddy" was suppose to signal changing cars along the run from the law. When trying to do so, Bob Seger ended up creating the song "Get Out Of Denver". This song was representing the views of a convict running from the law. These lyrics represented the suspicion that comes with leaving a place. "Get outta Denver better go-ooooh/Get outta Denver better go, go/Get outta Denver cause you like just like a commie and you might just be a member, better". Sam tried to leave the CDD because he thought that he looked suspicious when he entered the room with Dodge in it. These lyrics represented changing vehicles frequently. "The rain kept drivin but the Caddy kept on burnin rubber/We kept on drivin til we ran into some fog cover/We couldn't see a thing somehow we just kept on goin/We kept on drivin all night long and then into the mornin/Fog had finally lifted when we looked to see where we was at/We're sailin in a column had a state policeman trooper's hat". This was when Sam and Vienna drove away from the CDD and went off to a safe area. This forced them to alternate between places and vehicles. These lyrics meant that the people would do anything to get out. "Tonight there's gonna be trouble/Some of us won't survive/See the boys and me mean business/Bustin' out dead or alive". Sam and his associate(Kiwi) are taking a huge risk. In this context surviving means to being able to not get caught. Both Sam and Kiwi are dead serious about escaping the prison and will do anything to get out.

The song I chose for my second example was "Jailbreak" by Thin Lizzy. The song was inspired by the fans of the band. It was also inspired by the lyrics from some of the songs from American groups such as Little Feat, Bob Seger, etc. It was not connected to any important event. It was written after wondering about the aggression that was implied with the word "jailbreak". "Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak/Somewhere in this town/See me and the boys we don't like it/So we're getting up and going down". Sam's breakout takes place in the night time. After one week of being in the cell he is sick and tired of it. So because of this he plans to break out. "Searchlight on my trail/Tonight's the night all systems fail". People from the prison try see where Sam went when he escaped the juvenile prison. Due to Kiwi's assistance the systems in the prison shutdown. "Tonight there's gonna be trouble/Some of us won't survive/See the boys and me mean business/Bustin' out dead or alive". Sam and his associate(Kiwi) are taking a huge risk. In this context surviving means to being able to not get caught. Both Sam and Kiwi are dead serious about escaping the prison and will do anything to get out.
