Predictions for Allegiant

So far in my book the Allegiant group has escaped the city and ventured beyond the city walls to come to find some very interesting information. People from a place called the Bureau of Genetic Welfare. It was established because scientist tried to alter people’s genes to make the "bad genes" go away; this only caused more problems and created genetically damaged people. To create pure people they set up the faction system in Chicago as well as in many other cities. The Divergent are actually the pure genetic people. So Tris and Tobias are pure! Caleb and Tris find out that they're mother was an outsider who was put into the factions to solve the problem of people killing the Divergent. When the group of people that left the city find all this out they are astonished on how little they know. They don’t know what America is or what airplanes even are!! All of this fascinated me and made me excited to read on.

I predict that Tris and the others will live outside the fence and try to come up with a plan to fix the now disorientated city of Chicago. I also sense that more problems will also occur. From listening to my peers it seems as the book has an unexpected tragic ending so I’m fearful to find that out. I love these series and I really hope I’m satisfied with the ending! For now I will continue to read on and discover new things about Tris and her family. This book reminds me of the book “The Maze Runner” By James Dashner. People have their memories erased and live in an enclosed place like the factions; people have certain jobs and are separated. Scientist study and observe them to shape society in order to prevent war so both of the books have the same type of theme.

I currently started reading the third book of the Divergent series called "Allegiant." It starts off with chaos as people find out that they were sent there for a greater purpose of helping the outside during wartime. A factionless lady; Tobias' mother takes over and says that no one is allowed to leave the city and all factions will be destroyed. Tris is sent off as a prisoner since she helped Marcus behind Tobias' back but, she is soon freed because she can lie while under this thing called the truth serum. As the townspeople have many different opinions and some are not loyal to Evelyn (Tobias's mother) a group is created called the Allegiant. They soon find Tris and ask her to join them to escape the city and do what they were sent here to do. I look forward to reading their journey outside of the cities gates.


In Romeo and Juliet I am really enjoying the twists and drama. I like how Romeo has first fallen in love with a nun named Rosaline and mopes because she will not love him back or marry him. I was not expecting that and I found it very interesting. I also enjoyed how Juliet claims that she does not want to be married and then at the party she meets Romeo and they kiss passionately. I look forward to see how they make their love work and how their families handle it. I am concerned about how Tyblat would handle the news because once he found out that their were Montague's at the party he wanted to kill Romeo! he seems very violent and ruthless, so I think he will try to keep them apart.

  I recently just finished the second book of the Divergent series called "Insurgent" by Veronica Roth. The last book left off on a huge cliff hanger so I was really eager to finish this book. Tris learns that her Divergence is more important than ever. It guides her along a rough and dangerous path as the world she once knew starts to crumble and fall into pieces. She learns to trust her boyfriend Tobias which is hard for her because many people have betreyed her including her own brother. "He chose faction over blood," thats what Tris says. This tears her into pieces; it reminds me of "The Hunger Games" because they are both books about dystopian socities, war, and love.

I would characterize Tris as stubborn, strong and very intelligent. Her divergence allows her mind to think in different ways for example she had an apitude for three different factions and that is almost unheard of. So she uses her open mind or in other words "divergence" to solve problems like saving all the divergent kids she can from the wretched symulations that an evil manipulative Erudite woman named Jeanine operated on innocent citizens. The book ended in a very chaotic cliff hanger. I am looking forward to reading the last book.

Divergent By Veronica Roth

I am currently halfway through the book Divergent by Veronica Roth. Beatrice a 16 year old girl is faced with the decision of leaving her family for her own good or staying with them and living an Abnegation lifestyle. Society is divided up into five factions. the Duantless (the brave), Abnegation(the selfless), Amity (the kind & peaceful), Erudite (the knowledgeable), and Candor (the honest). She realizes that she is not selfless enough to be Abnegation. Beatrices test results are inconclusive though. She could either be Abnegation, Duantless, or Erudite. Beatrice chooses Duantless. As she goes through initiation she learns about her strength and how she can use being divergent to her advantage. She finds herself mixed up in a romance with a faction transfer who also came from Abnegation. The line I find most significant in this book so far is, "I think we've made a mistake," he says softly. "We've all started to put down the virtues of the other factions in the process of bolstering our own. I don't want to do that . I want to be brave, and selfless and smart, and kind, and honest,'' (Roth 405). I find this quote very significant because it shows how the main characters which are Tris and Tobias are going to change society or so go against it. I predict that they will fight against the government and start a revolution towards change for the better. I think that people will become all of the qualities that Tobias wants to be and Tris who is a Divergent will use that to her advantage in the revolution.

Divergent By Veronica Roth

 

I just started reading this book and it is very interesting to say the least. The setting of my book occurs in the future in Chicago. People are separated into Factions based on their personalities to prevent war. Chicago has changed a lo;t an example of the setting described in detail is, "The gaps between the buildings narrow and the roads are smoother as we near the heart of the city. The building that was once called the Sears Tower-we call it the Hub-emerges from the fog, a black pillar in the skyline. I have never been on a train, though they never stop running and there are tracks everywhere" (Roth 4). This quote shows that where she lives is towards the outer city and its jam packed with people and buildings. They use trains a lot I'm not sure why though because its the future but I am guessing that it is a subway that the narrator is talking about. Another example of imagery in the setting is; "The train whistle blares, the sound resonating in my chest. The light fixed to the front of the train clicks on and off as the train hurtles past the school. As the last few cars pass, a mass exodus of young men and women in dark clothing hurl themselves from moving cars, some dropping and rolling, others stumbling before they gain their balance, (Roth 7). This quote is describing how it is normal for kids to jump off cars and moving trains. These kids are part of the faction called the Duantless which means the brave. Their job is to protect the city gates from intruders on the outside.They wear all black and have lots of piercings and tattoos.
