Relate (7)

The book I am reading is ‘Allegiant’. It’s written by Veronica Roth. This book has many problems in it that you can relate to. One of the problems that ‘Tris’ is having is finding out exactly who she is as a person. She doesn’t know whether she’s willing to sacrifice her life and listen to those around her and just stay safe. When she decides to go against her friends and family and try to save everyone on her own, she finds out some information that tests who she is even more. Every action that she does just adds to her character. I think that it’s the same way for us in life. Throughout high school and our whole lives, we are also trying to figure out exactly who we are as a person. Every choice or decision we make, Makes an impact on our character and how people see us. I think that this quote is a perfect example of her wanting to know who she is exactly.

“Ever since Tori told me the word for what I am-Divergent- I have wanted to know what it means. And here is the simplest answer I have received: “Divergent” means that my genes are healed. Pure. Whole. I should feel relieved to know the real answer at last. But I just feel like something is off, itching in the back of my mind” (124-125).

                  

I like how the author puts in problems that we can relate to in real life. No matter what the situation is in the book, they are always fighting for a solution. And I think that’s what we should be doing in real life. There are many other things that I think teens can relate to in the book so I hope that you read it.
