Analysis/Divergent

I am always saying that I hate reading, but really it is just when it is a bad book. I have found out that when I love a book, I constantly read it.  with divergent I hope it has these things put into it, if it does, it will definitely get me hooked quick.  the first thing is good character development.  I hate it when a story is so great, but you know almost nothing about the character you have been reading about.  the next thing is an action scene in it somewhere. I love reading those in my head and making them sound all fast paced. I only need one of those. It reminds me of the hunger games.  One, because there are classes (districts), two there is one character that is singled out at an annual event, and three, the action all ready in the book.  I hope I am right and it is a little like hunger games. that was probably one of my favorite books of all time. there was action, great character development and overall it was a fun read.  I think Divergent will get there soon. 

Divergent/Tone and Mood

"What the hell is going on?" the boy next to me shouts" (Roth 68) She had just chosen the duantless class and all of a sudden everyone is running.  This boy is freaking out because he has no idea what is happening.  Im really exited when reading this.  Its an exciting mood. This tone gives it confusion and chaos.  It made her really think about what she was doing with the dauntless.

French Revolution connection

In history class, we have been reading and learning about the French Revolution.  And I have been reading about our politics today.  Right now, we basically have no government.  They just stopped.  It sounds a little like when French king Louis XVI tried to run from the kingdom.  Also one of the things that caused the revolution was that the rich didn't have to pay taxes.  We'll guess what, America is doing the same thing. Everyone still has to pay taxes though, but the rich could be paying more.  A lot of things aren't looking good as of right now, but hopefully they will get better.

divergent/character

When the book started, she always thought she would just end up being in the class called abnegation, they were the leaders of the city, but were selfless.  She finds out that there is a chance that there are multiple classes to choose from to go into.  In this point in the book, she hasn't changed character, looks or anything.  she is just trying to figure out who she wants to be.  right now she is just a nice person, that is trying to fit into abnegation.  she is working on being selfless and invisible to the community.  She isn't allowed to have any jealousy, she needs to be happy with what she has.  now, she has changed a little because she realized that she isn't very good at these.  She went with the dauntless at the ceremony, so she is probably not very happy with abnegation.  She wants something more exciting.
