in the city of bones the main character Clary is a girl who in the beginning seems ordinary, but turns out to be a shadowhunter. she can see magical things that "mundies" or "mundanes" Can not see.

Clary finds out she is different and that her gift has been hidden by her mother. her mother wanted to protect her from the world of shadowhunters and demons.

this makes me think about parents protecting their children. Parents want to keep their children. parents want to keep their children from all of the "demons" in the world like Clarys mom wants to keep her safe, examples of this are how she, in the story also trys to save her mother by telling her that going back home is not safe, but it also teaches how deceptions and lieing to children is basicly a horrible thing to do especialy for a child...becasue sometimes children need to know things...
