Legend part 3

So after all that stuff happened last week we find out that Day has changed June a lot and their relationship has grown every time June talked to him in his cell. June never liked Day before they even met. She always hated him because he humiliated the Republic and he was the number one on the criminal list in the Republic. But after the death of her brother she soon hate him even more because Metias, her brother was the only family she had left. But when she was undercover in the slums she fell for him without knowing he was even Day. When they finally caught him and his mother was shot in front of him by the Captain she felt bad because she knew this was wrong.

Although she still didn't know that Day didn't kill her brother she had to repeatedly had to remind herself that Day is guilty and she shouldn't fell bad about his mothers death. But when she started talking to Day frequently she and him clicked. When she was mad at Thomas, the captain killing the people protesting without even think about the standard procedure. She talked it out with Day and when she started to cry on Day's shoulder he wiped the tears of her face.

June changed because of Day and Day changed because of her.

Legand by Marie Lu part 2

    From where I last left off I have learned a bunch of new information about the case of Metias' death. There was a bunch of action, drama ,and romance. First off, when I last left off June has been undercover for several days in the slums trying to find Day. After four days hiding in the slums, June gets her self involved in a Skiz fight. A Skiz fight is a illegal street fight in which the crown winner in the fight chooses a person to fight in the crowd and the winner doesn't stop fighting until she a bloody fall. Tess, Day's female acquaintance was chosen by Kaede, the Skiz winner was chosen to fight but Tess can't fight so she was knocked to the ground. June thought this was wrong and said something to Kaede. June was winning because she was skilled at fighting but when Kaede plunged a knife into her side, June tried to escape. In the end Day saved her by creating a smoke bomb and escaping to an abandoned library.
    After a couple of days June has followed Day and Tess, Day kissed her when he was drunk. They both wanted it but after the kiss June noticed something something around Day's neck and realized the pendant she found in the hospital the day Metias died, was his, Day's pendant. When she found out she followed Day to his parents house to see what day was doing. When she found had a sick brother with a mutated Plague she alerted Thomas, a Republic captain.
   So much happened after that but I don't want to spoil anymore. This book is really good if you are interested in action.

Legend by Marie Lu

In the book Legend by Marie Lu, Los Angeles has been separated from the rest of North America and is called the Republic. The Republic's most wanted criminal, Day a male teen who has had his identity erased from the Republic's records has framed of killing a commander named Metias. Metias sister, June takes his place as a detective in training and her job is to take Day to justice. So far in the book I have read about a few ways June has tried to lure Day into her trap, with Plague medicine. The Plague is a serious illness that has spread in a couple of sectors and has killed thousands of people because most people could not afford the medicine.
This whole problem happened when Day found out that his younger brother, Eden has been diagnosed with the Plagued and is in serious need of the medicine. Day planned a robbery at the hospital on the day the hospital was heavily guarded. When he found out there was no more Plague medicine he jumped out of the window from the lab. With a broken ankle  Day tried flee until Metias caught him. Day managed to flee but jabbing Metias in the arm with his knife.
I can't wait to finish the book and find out what's going to happen in the next book, Legend.

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost

In the poem "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost the protagonist represents a man stuck between two decisions. It seems like he has come to a cross road in life and  is confused on which road to take and doesn't know what is to come next when he chooses one road.The author wants to tell us that life is hard and sometimes we have are stuck between two decisions.
In the first stanza " Two roads diverged in yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both" shows that the speaker has came across the two decisions and doesn't know what road to take because he can only take one road. In the third stanza " Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted I should ever come back" shows that the speaker has already chose a road because he doubts if he should ever come back and he doesn't know what is going to happen in the future if he keeps on traveling in this path. In the last stanza " Two roads diverged in a wood, and I- I took the one less traveled by" shows that the speaker chose the right path and he doesn't want to go back to the two diverged roads.
My claim connects to me because growing up you sometimes get stuck in between two decisions and it may be hard to choose one. My claim also connects to teenagers and humanity because everyone has to make a tough decisions in life like who may be the right person for you and who is actually your friend.

Insurgent by Veronica Roth part 2

    
     A lot has happened from where I left off on the first response. I learned that the Erudite want to know what is behind the gates outside of Chicago. Beatrice sacrificed herself to Jeannie, an Erudite scientist who created all of the simulations because she didn't want anyone dying anymore. The Dauntless have allied with the fractionless and have planned an attack on the Erudite headquarters. From what I have read so far is that Beatrice is learning how to trust people now but she is still kind of paranoid about trusting the fractionlesss.
    When she told Christina that she was going to go to the Erudite headquarters she had to trust her not to tell Tobias because Christina just forgave Beatrice for killing her boyfriend Will during the simulation attack in the Abnegation. It also showed that she starting to trust people when she said I love you to Tobias because he is the only family she has left because her brother became a traitor. Trusting Marcus, Tobias' father in a mission to find out what is outside of the gates and to send the simulation data to all of the fractions so the Erudite wouldn't be able to find it even if they don't succeed on killing Jeannie.
   Insurgent is a great book but I think that it isn't as good as the first book Divergent because it isn't as detailed and it doesn't have as much action as the first one. The second book is more about how Beatrice matures and her love life with Tobias.

Insurgent by Veronica Roth

    The book Insurgent is the sequel to the book Divergent. In the end of the first book Divergent the Erudite had injected a stimulation in to the Dauntless to kill the Abnegation, who are holding secret information that the Erudite wanted to know. Because Beatrice is Divergent, she was able to manipulate the stimulation and try to stop the stimulation at the Dauntless headquarters. Once she stopped the stimulation Beatrice, Tobias, Caleb, and Tobias' father travel to the Amity in search for help. The book Insurgent is about the aftermath of the war and the adventures Beatrice trying to take over the Erudite.
    Through out the the books Beatrice has matured a lot. In the first book she was this shy, little, and now she is involved in a war. Before she was scared of weapons and she didn't know who she was, but now she not afraid of firing a gun into people's heads and seeking revenge on the Erudite who killed her parents and her old fraction. This shows that she matured internally because now she knows who she really is and why she chose Dauntless.
    So far in the book that I have read is  that Beatrice feels guilty for killing one of her best friends and her friends boyfriend and her relation with Tobias. I predict that the fraction less are going to play a big part in the war because they want to make a society with no fractions and they have the biggest group of divergent people.
  

I Am Number Four; the Lost Files of Six

  In the book I Am Number Four; the Lost Files of Six by Pittacus Lore aliens have arrived to earth from Lorien to hide from war with another species of aliens named the Mogadorians. The Lorins have to hide and develope their legacys ( powers) that will help them stop the Mogadorians and take back their planet. Unfortunately there are only ten of them three are dead and seven of them are left. The main character in this book 6 ( the aliens from Lorien have names that go by number) struggles to survive in earth with her cepân (their trainers who help them train for battle and kin of their parents but with no legacys). In the book 6 personality changes.
    One of the major personality changes was the difference between when she was 12 and when she became 18 . When she was 12 she feared the Mogadorins and doubted herself about not being able to stop them. But when she became 18 she doesn't fear them anymore and is willing to kill as much of them that come in her way.
    Another personality change was when they were captured in the Mogadorians cave were they were tortured to death to tell them everything they knew. When she was in her cafe she wanted to die. She knew that she couldn't be a warrior without her legacys and she thrived to see the cepân Katrina. Who then later gets killed when 6 lies and says her number was 8. This changed her personality because after Katrina was killed she became a warrior seeking revenge on the Mogadorians.
   All in all I think that this book is amazing. It is compacted with adventure, science fiction, action, and romance.
