TAYLOR- Ads R Us
TAYLOR
Taylor is the daughter of Adrian Stokes, an expert in Psychology of persuasion. In the story of Ads R Us, Taylor discovered that she had been lied to about the circumstances of her birth. She is not the natural child of Adrian Stokes and Kara Trent, but is the true daughter of Adrian Stokes. Since Taylor was six or seven, she was implanted with a series of scanning devices- all about her reactions to the world around her. Her parents had used the readings to rank persuasive techniques for her age group, based on how well each ad worked. ‘I’m just a lab rat,’ (Page 161, Taylor). Taylor is a skinny teenager who attends Fysher-Platt Academy. ‘My cousin Taylor was skinny too,’ (Page 10, Barrett). She isn’t happy about her body-wants longer legs-wants plastic surgery to the chin, wishing she could go to the auditions for the Ugly-D to Teen Queen.
Taylor has a few positive traits: ‘I slipped into Dad’s study and carefully closed the door behind me, telling myself it was worth the risk to get through to Gabi,’ (Page 150, Taylor). Taylor would always find a way to get out of something even though she knows she would get into a lot of trouble. ‘At least he wanted to make me happy,’ (Page 3, Taylor talking about her father). Taylor is smart enough to play one parent off against the other, when Kara didn’t allow Taylor to get the latest technology ‘The Resonic Bud’. Taylor instantly knows that her father would let her get it.
Taylor learned that, ‘You can’t judge a book by its cover’. When she met Barrett, she thought that he was going to be a ‘boring bushland farmie (total bleeb). Running through her thoughts she also didn’t want her cousin to embarrass her in front of her school friends. Taylor also has a very rude personality and doesn’t understand other’s feelings. ‘Like I cared. ‘Barrett?’ I said, ‘Dumb name,’ (Page 4, Taylor). She is easily peer-pressured when it comes to popularity and being cool infront of her crush, Steve. ‘I’ll try a purple, Steve’ I
