I really enjoyed reading Veronica Roth's book Divergent this summer. It was one of the best books I have ever read. Better than the Hunger Games series honestly. I liked it for many different reasons. One main reason was Tobias and Tris's relationship. While I was reading the book I was really like in love with them. I cried at the end of the book when Tobias tried to kill her and then her voice woke him up. I also really liked how they acted around each other. They were so sweet. And even though they were dating Tobias didn't favor her more than any one else during the training. He also always wanted to protect her. He helped her hide that she was Divergent when he found out about it. He was always strong for her, but he opened up to her like he had never done to anyone else before. He let her go through his fear landscape and let her help him get through his fears. I was kind of obsessed with them throughout the book.
In the book I really liked the main character Tris. I liked how the author showed her development throughout the book. She showed her trying to find who she is seperated from her family by her choosing another faction. I liked how in the beginning Tris was scared and from Abnegation which was the quietest faction. She then chose Dauntless, which is the complete opposite of Abnegation. It shows how she wants to find herself, especially since she is a teenager. Out of all of the books I have ever read this by far was my favorite book.
Anna Catherine,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear that! I really liked _Divergent_, too. I actually found that scene where Tobias tries to kill Tris troubling rather than romantic, though, thinking about violence against women and particularly how women sometimes put themselves in harm's way thinking they are saving someone. I do think Tris is a great, strong character for the most part.
This is a well-developed post. Strive for two fully developed paragraphs (say at least 5 sentences each) in all of your posts.
I hope you enjoy The Fault In Our Stars, too. That was one of my favorite books I read this summer.
