Symbols=Characters

Tris-

Is a firecracker because she is always unpredictable in the things she does in moments of panic and had a firary personality that can't be smothered. Like in the book Tris told everyone that she was going to stay back from the battle but she went behind everyones back and worked with enemys, risking her life to her goal of releasing this information.







Tobias

Is a moon always there even when you can't see him and just his presence and calm you. Like in the book whenever Tris sees Tobias his calm and collected attitude calms her down. Also in the book Tobias is always there for Tris and willing to do anything for her.

The Best thing.....

So I am nearing the end of the third book of the great trilogy of Divergent by Veronica Roth. And I would like to take a look on the best things about these books are. First of all the unexpected twists and turns are one thing that I love about these books. You never know what is going to happen next or how the characters are going to react to them. For an example when the divergents escape the city to go save the world but then find out that all that they worked for was an experiment and just them can not save the world. I love this aspect of the book because I never know what will happen next and literally can not put the book down.

Another thing that I love about (only in the Allegiant book) is how the chapters are now both in Tobias' and Tris' viewpoint. This is especially good for this book because they are both at crossings with big problems. But, their problems are very different so it is a good thing that we can hear about both of their thoughts and feelings towards their problems. Also it gives the reader insight on more about what goes through Tobias' mind since till this book only Tris has narrated it. Nearing the end of this book I'm excited to see was twists will happen and how both Tris and Tobias react to it.

Thanks for stopping in! See you next week! 

Shocked and Afriaid or Excited and Adventurous? - Allegiant

In the book Allegiant by Veronica Roth the characters all react to the main conflict very differently. Some more severe than others. *cough *cough * Tobias. Like seriously. Man up. Anyways the conflict that is 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 know is actually 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 to their genes. It's like if one day you wake up to find that everything that you have worked for was pointless. This affects the main characters in the book 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. In the book this is Tobias' reaction when he finds this out, " The word 'damaged' sinks inside me like it's made of lead. I guess I always knew there was something wrong with me..." (Roth 176) This shows how crushed Tobias was when he heard the news, it made him feel worthless. The doctors try to explain that sometimes this happens. This enrages him very much because it is as if 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 died 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. The first of these is betrayal, she 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? Tris went searching for these answers from anyone who knew her mother. But this just seemed like with every answer she got, more and more questions came up. At this point she is overwhelmed and frankly very confused and questioning if she really knew her mother at all.

Thanks for stopping on by Wirthwhile Thoughts of Julia Wirth! And for any of those who haven't read this series I would suggest checking out the trailer of the movie based on the first book Divergent!

Most Important Line- Alleigant

In the chapter when the divergents just escaped the city and they are retaining a ton of infomation about the new world that they just have entered. Tobias esspecially is effected by this change. He is conflicted between being excited about getting away from his unstable mother and his abusive father. And being confused and upset about that the things that used to be so important to him like the fractions and his job now don't matter. This makes him feel like all the things he has worked so hard for doesn't even matter.

In Allegiant Tobias expresses his feeling towards the new information, "I still feel numb and confused when I walk back to the dormitory later and crawl back into bed. I don't know what I'll do." (Roth 143) This is the most important lines in the chapter because it shows Tobias feeling towards the past hectic day. The words like numb and confused show that he has not really figured out his feeling towards escaping out of the city he has know all his life. We will have to see how the next few days will affect him.
