In the book Alleigent by Veronica Roth the characters all react to the main conflict very differently. The conflict that at hand is adjusting to their lifestyle change, which is a major one if I do say so myself. First of all they find out that the world they did know is accually a city in a state, which is a state in a country, and is a country in a continent which there are seven of. Then they learn about how for their whole lives they have been part of an experiment relating with their genes. This affects the characters in different ways.
For instance they tell Tobias that the divergents are the people with pure undamaged genes. But, when they go to test them he finds out that they are in fact damaged. The doctors try to explain that sometimes this happens. This angers him very much like they are saying there is something wrong with him. He feels like he can't talk to Tris anymore because she can't understand what he's going through because her genes are pure and unharmed. I wonder when he will accept this news and realize that it doesn't change who he is.
Tris finds out that her mother who had dies saving her life was sent into the experiment and once lived out in the real world. She uncovers many secrets about her mothers past and why she was sent in to the experiment. As she does this she goes through many emotions first it's betrayal, she just wonders why her mother wouldn't tell her this. Then it's wonder of many questions that were now unanswered. Did my dad know? What was she sent in to do? She went searching for these answers from anyone who knew her mother. But this just seemed like with every answer she got more and more came up. At this point she is overwhelmed and frankly very confused questioning if she really knew her mother at all.
This is a great book and I loved all the questions they had about where they came from and their history. It made the book a good page-turner. I like how you summarized the plot and expressed the characters feelings.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the way you talked about the plot. You could really tell that you were invested in the novel. The way you talk about it makes me want to pick up the book and read.
