The work poem

Vive reached a bit further than half the book and I allow been glue to the cover since day one. One major theme that Veronica Roth appears to be focusing on is that being yourself takes courage. She created this world where people are sorted into five factions based on a single test at the age of sixteen. In the earlier chapters, her family is shown to follow tradition and look at leaving the family in a bad way (reference). So when two Caleb and Beatrice Prior decide to choose a diametric faction and evacuate there family, it shows the amount of courage taken.During the sorting ceremony, Beatrice scrambled thoughts moving really quickly show the bravery involved in being yourself, non exactly to yourself but to those around you. The story opens up with a reflection. rumination ab issue self Image and who you are. It stars 16 year old Beatrice Priors admiration in herself, which is non common for those from Vegetation. When she tries to uncovering herself she ends up fi nding herself In a dangerous position, being divergent (different). Her friends, Will, AAA and Christina seem very helpful as they are well-nighwhat outcasts (transfers) that are not with the Andorra group.Some predictions I made were that Four, one of the Dauntless Is the son of Marcus and he Is being pushed by Max to become a leader and possibly the leader of the Dauntless. I believe he may also be divergent and have the characteristics from the brave and the selfless, hence the fact that Max would Like him to be a leader. That is why the vegetation governs, because they are Incorruptible. I also predict that the soil that Divergence Is tabooed and exiled Is because they corrupt the system.Their abilities show the flaw In the system, and how his dyspepsia confederation and Its restricting thinking cannot be categorized. How can someone truly find themselves when they can only be sorted Into five different areas, where only one of the characteristics can be practiced. Another pr ediction Is a biggish war between the five factions. They all have complete differences (abnegation vs. erudite, brave vs. candor..? ) and are working together currently, but It only takes one baseball diamond In the rough (divergent) to break the system.As It seems there are many people who become factionists, this represents poverty and homeless Iranians, they may also create an become Like In the Hunger Games, which Is commonly related Josh The road Journal As I finish the first half of The Road, my negligible thoughts are that Its a nifty disappoint. In terms of characters, McCarthy takes a different approach when it comes to characters. No names are given to any of the characters. However, this does not take away from character development. I am fond of the idea of a convey and son as main characters.I feel as if it adds a twist on the genre and provides more of an emotional picture to the story. Additionally, it adds a place to relate to, as everyone as experienced s ome form of paternal lie with. With regards to the characters themselves, The arrest expresses a deep love for his son. show by him harming anyone that touches him. However, as I read on the fathers health is deteriorating. I worry for their prospects of living. If the father were to die, roughly certainly would his son. He is too sottish of what is happening in the world, as well as to accepting of others.Although I wouldnt like it, I feel the father go forth eventually die. In terms of setting, McCarthy does a tremendous phone line of conveying a double-dyed(a) and gruesome wasteland. Although I have yet to learn the exact location, I have a good understanding of the scenery. The plot is typical of a book of such(prenominal) genre. The characters are trying to survive, and are Journeying reduce The Road. However, McCarthy spares no expense with regards to demonstrating the atrocities humans could commit. Certain scenes I embed brutal to read, often pertaining to cannibali sm. The theme of paternal love is prominent inwardly the first section of the book.Considering the main characters, this theme can be expected. McCarthy makes an elbow grease to emphasize the mans love for his son. At various points in the story it is explained that the mans holy will to live lies within his son. Before his wife committed suicide, she pointed out the son was all that stood between him and death. The quotation explains that the only affaire that prevented the man from suicide was his son. Furthermore, Despite the distaste with violence the two express, the father is quick to violence if his son is harmed. When they encounter someone who threatens to harm the boy the father does not hesitate to kill him.He expresses such thoughts when he says My Job is to take care of you. I was appointed to do that by God. I will kill anyone who touches you. Do you understand? . Throughout the story the father and son make reference to whether they are the good guys. They often doubt the actions of others and themselves. With reading, I feel McCarthy has put emphasis on humanity and morals. They discourse of carrying the fire, which is the term they use to describe people who are moral. If such a situation was to happen in modern civilization, what extent will people go to survive?Would people really strive to be moral in their actions, or succumb to inhumane ethos of survival? Secondly, McCarthy invariably shows the mans determination to live. Despite his sons questions on death, and his willingness to die, the man pushes on. Even despite the advice of his wife, he cannot afford to see his son die. His love for his son is too great to let him go. I think McCarthy wants us to consider what drives us. What do we love and fight for. That through love and determination people overcome the most dire of circumstances. That if a post apocalyptic scenario were to present itself would we give up on life?
