    Incognito by Claire Carmichael: Critical Analysis

    People tell me their secrets. My friends and family; they all have secrets to share. The secrets are often about them doing bad things or people they dislike. Whatever the secret is, it requires privacy. According to the Macquarie English Concise Dictionary 5th Edition, privacy means: “the state of being confined to or intended only for the person or persons immediately concerned; confidentiality” This means the secret must only be known to one or a few people. But what if the secret gets spilled, and is open for everyone to see? This has unfortunately happened a lot to me and during the course of history. For example: I once told my brother a secret to keep away from my sister, but it turned out that he was just about as unreliable as a jelly pickaxe, he told my sister, and this led to my siblings and I getting into trouble with my parents, also; the secret method of how to break the enigma code was spilled during World War II and this lead to many deaths. If secrets are not well guarded, it can lead to a lot of danger and distress. Claire Carmichael saw all of this in the world and has decided to write a novel in the genre of science fiction to respond to the past in terms of understanding the future: Incognito. In the novel, it raises the issues and concerns of society like privacy, power and corruption and teaches us about it using a variety of literature techniques…
