BLOGGER FINAL ASSESSMENT

I think that the blog post that shows my best voice is my connections post to Insurgent. One of the lines that demonstrate my best voice is when I was explaing how Tobias's big secret was revealed,     "They put Tris and Tobias under a truth serum and now know Tobias's big secret (sorry can't tell)." I said this because I didn't want to spoil the story for the readers. Another line that demonstrates my voice is when I was describing how Tris and Tobias feel about moving to Dauntless, "They also find out that he regrets moving to Dauntless, but on the other hand, Tris feels she belongs there and she feels she wasn't right for Abnegation." I said, "but on the other hand." which I find myself saying a lot in actual conversations.

I like to use diction and syntax to make my piece more interesting and easy to read. I used a different kind of sentence structure to better describe what I'm talking about and who I am talking about when I explained how who you listen to affects how you think about things, "When people that I trust believe in something and think it is right, for example my parents, I tend to believe that that is also the right idea and it can affect the way I think about a situation." I start explaining what I believe, then I use a comma to go into detail of someone who affects what I believe, and then I keep going into description about how it affects me. An example of elevated diction is when I was describing what happened to the characters at the Candor compound, "They are ambushed by traitor Dauntless and Eric and they attempt to capture all of the Divergents they can since they are immune to the simulation." I could've said that they were attacked by Eric and the traitor Dauntless, but I used the word ambushed because it was more descriptive and it sounded better in the piece to elevate my writing.

Insurgent: What is the best thing about my book?

The last post was fake don't read it! Insurgent is a very well written book, I think that Veronica Roth does a great job with developing the plot. I would say that the best part of the books are the characters because they are very likeable and I feel very attached to them. I love how she developed Tris from being Abnegation and innocent to becoming the most lethal Dauntless. I feel like I would be physically depressed because they are such great characters. I feel like I can relate this to the Harry Potter books because I loved the characters and always thought for the rest of the time I wasn't reading about the book and was going to happen, this is also how I feel about Insurgent. I can't wait to get hands on the next book as I am pretty sure it will be as good or better than the two previous books.

Insurgent: What is the best thing about my book?

Insurgent is a very good book.

Insurgent: What does the work tell us about how the society affects the individual?

In Insurgent, Tris was just about to be executed by Jeanine, but the least possible person that could have saved her did. Peter. Yep, you heard me right, Peter. The person who tried to kill her during initiation switched the death serum, and saved her life. Now, Tris is going to the Amity compound to try and cooperate with the Amity leader while the factionless lead an attack on the Erudite compound.

I think that this book tells us how the government, and therefore society, make a huge impact in influencing our thoughts and beliefs. In the book, the government believes that the Divergent are evil and very dangerous to their system of factions, so some people treat them like aliens. It is true that the Divergent are dangerous, it is because they are immune to the simulations and the serums, so they cannot be taken under control. Now, the Divergent are the only hope that the rebels have in order to defeat the Erudite and Jeanine. Will the other rebels be able to cooperate with them? Will they be successful?
