Cirque Du Freak is a fictional book that teaches people to not do things without our parents consent, or illegal things in general. I know that it's fictional, but it can also be related to real life. The main character Darren Shan, is a teenager who sneaks out at night with his best friend to go see a freak show, which is illegal. When they go there, they see a lot of strange things. And they become curious, which leads to dangerous things. It gets so bad that Darren regrets going to the freak show.
One point in the book is when he steals a dangerous spider from its owner, Mr. Crepsley. He plays with it and uses tricks on it, which he saw Mr. Crepsley do at the freak show. The spider seems harmless, but Darren's little sister gets bitten. The spider's poisonous venom paralyzes her. Once again, Darren regrets going to the freak show.
His life becomes so upside down that Darren puts everyone's lives in danger. And he wishes that he had not gone to the freak show. If his parents had known, then they'd have protected him from going. But at the end Darren suffers along with everyone else.
Even though the storyline is fake, it does teach us that lying and doing illegal things always get carried away and that there is no good ending. Many kids do a lot of sneaky things behind their parent's back. Some things are so serious, that we could end ourselves, or another person under a life or death situation.
