The setting for this book so far is at the Amity farms on the outskirts of the city. Tris describes their surroundings when they arrived at the Amity headquarters, "My feet sink into the ground, and above me, the branches grow into one another, forming a kind of tunnel. Dark fruit hangs among the leaves, ready to drop. The sharp, sweet smell of rotting apples mixes with the scent of wet earth in my nose" (Roth 4). Tris was describing the Amity orchards when they first arrived after the final events of Divergent. Even though this setting may only be temporary, I like the change of scenery. I wonder how long they will stay here.

Insurgent
I've finally started reading Insurgent, it took me a while to get
the book and find time to start reading because I've been so busy with schoolwork
and volunteering at the animal shelter. So far I like the book, though I'm not
very far yet. People have told me that they really like this book and some have
even said that it is better than Divergent! I'm curious as to how the
story will develop. I am also curious if the author will introduce any new
characters. I am looking forward to reading the rest of this book and moving on
to the next and final book in the series, Allegiant.

I have heard a bit of talk on this book. I like how you shared your thoughts and curiosities. Also, great choice on the quote! It creates a lot of imagery and even creates a sense of smell. Overall, great blog post. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThis seems like a very interesting novel to read! I am currently reading Divergent and I am completely hooked to it and I can't put it down. So I will definitely read Insurgent. I like how you talked about what you would like to see in the novel. Well Done!
