In the book so far, Tris, Tobias, Caleb, and Susan where staying at the Amity safe house. They were staying with others, such as Peter and Marcus, but later on in the book the Erudite come and try to search the Amity safe house, looking for the 6 of them, and they all run away. The Erudite chase them, and when they split up to try to lose them, gun shots are fired. I assume that Marcus is dead, because he isn't with the group any more, and the other 4 assume that Peter is dead as well, but I predict that the Erudite capture him and get him to join their side. This scene of chaos unfolded when Tris saw the Erudite cars and ran to warn others. They went to hide themselves by blending in, but that plan didn't work when one of the Erudite women saw how Tobias' hair was cut. "The Dauntless woman walking towards him looks at him right away. Her eyes narrow as she walks closer, and then stops directly behind him. I wish the collar of his shirt were higher. I wish he didn’t have so many tattoos. I wish... 'Your hair is pretty short for Amity,' she says. ... He did not cut his hair like the Abnegation. 'It’s hot,' he says. The excuse might work if he knew how to deliver it, but he says it with a snap. She stretches out her hand and, with her index finger, pulls back the collar of his shirt to see his tattoo. And Tobias moves. He grabs the woman's wrist, yanking her forward so she loses her balance. She hits her head against the edge of the tale and falls. Across the room, a gun goes off, someone screams, and everyone dives under the tables or crouches next to the benches." (Roth, 80-81). This is a quote to show that the Erudite where working with the Dauntless, and how the scene was set up. Although in real life, this maybe would've taken about 1 minute to set up, it seems as if this would take forever to get through because of the detail that Veronica Roth, the author, put into it.
I predict that towards the end of the book, there will be another large war, and the good people will win. Then everyone who was not on the bad side that is alive will try to change things to make them better, or to change things to try to keep a war like what they just went through not happen ever again. Some of the questions that I have so far are: what happened to Marcus and Peter? What is going to happen to Caleb, Tris, Tobias, and Susan? Will the war end? Who will win the war if it does end? How will the war end if it does end?
I cannot make any text to world or text to self-connections, because as far as I know, there has not been any world wars, or any wars, where people where injected with a drug that took over their minds where they were controlled to kill other people and get something that they didn't know existed. I can make a text to text connection from this book to the book that comes before it, Divergent. These books are similar because they both have the same issue, how to stop the war, and are connected basically. I could make a basic text to world connection, because some people and other countries could not value their military, just like how some people don't value the Dauntless, who are their military.
Ay gurl, the way you set up the quote intensified it and made it relevant to what you were talking about. Also, good post, it makes sense, explains something relevant to the story, and overall is a solid post. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteI've read Insurgent before. I like your connections between Divergent and text to world. It actually isn't that basic. More like 'sums up the entire idea of the book'. Way to figure it out.
