Insurgent

     I am reading Insurgent.  The author is Veronica Roth she has a series that is linked to this book it is called the divergent series that has four books including this one so far. This series has several genres such as science fiction, Utopian and dystopian fiction, romance novel, and young adult fiction. This book has won quite a few awards such as the  Goodreads Choice Awards Best Young Adult Fantasy & Science Fiction, awards and much more. This book is carried after the book divergent to understand this book u should read the book divergent, divergent is about a family, tris's family, all of the people who live in Chicago have to go to a choosing ceremony which is where they choose their future. At this ceremony you individually go up to the stage to choose your personality such as candor- the honest, abnegation- is the selfless, dauntless- the brave, erudite- the intelligent, amity- the peaceful. When Tris goes up to the stage and slits her hand and drops her blood  into the dauntless bowl she had no clue what she was getting herself into, once the ceremony was over she was officially a dauntless member. She then had to go through a number of circuits to try and stay alive. 
     This character reminds me of someone I know because they always like to take risks in their life even though it may  get them hurt. They also try to keep their emotion a secret while they are around people they aren't comfortable around or who they don't know and so does Tris. This character reminds me of myself because she is a risk taker and so I am sometimes. This situation reminds me of some point in my life because when I was in Punta Cana I went sky diving into the ocean and I am afraid of heights but it was so much fun and i'm glad i decided to do it.
     I began to think that this book has many relations to my life. If I were Tris, I would have already went for going past the wall at this point. I noticed that when they make bad things happen and when they fix the bad things they get rewarded to be the hero. I was surprised that Tris didn't get shot when there was shots being taken when they were running. The character I most admire is Tris because she isn't afraid to stand up for her beliefs and she is fearless. I really like this book because I can relate to the things that happen in it.

  1. It is really good and detailed but there are just some run-on sentences that need to have commas added:)

  4. I feel this is a good blog, but there are a few mistakes such as choppy sentences,run on sentences,spelling errors, and capitalization errors. Besides the few mistakes I loved the over all summary it really helps the reader connect to the plot line.

  5. I like the big words you put in but you did put much space in between words but other than that it was really good
