Dear Veronica Roth,

                I am currently reading your famous book Divergent. I love this book; you have captured my emotions while I was reading many times. I love the description you use and the way you describe the characters emotion. Now to the good stuff, throughout my reading of your book I have thought of many questions in which I really want to ask you.

One of my first questions would be where and how did you get started in your career? I have wondered this because I know that most authors have a background story on how they start writing and what inspires them, and these stories always interest me. I was also wondering because I know you are a very young author, did you start writing and all of a sudden your book was a big hit? I think of this because some authors either work very hard and become famous once they are almost ready to retire, I also know some authors can never achieve the fame that you have achieved. So what I was wondering was how fast did your fame come, and how did it feel to be this famous so early in your career? This interests me because you are a very young author but one of the most famous authors too, how did you do it?

                I know you have probably had this question asked to you many of times. But how in the world did you come up with this plot line. I love the way you describe the factions and the way the city people interact with each other. I know some people would say “It is like Hunger Games! She wasn’t even original!” and I would definitely disagree. I think this because Hunger Games is more of a wrecked society, where society can’t thrive. Whereas in Divergent the society is doing well until they find the divergent. I love your book and will continue to read the books. Please write back!

 

                                                                                                                                                                Sincerely,

Logan Goldberg

I think that in the book Divergent, the book I am currently reading. The setting is very abnormal. I think this because of many reasons, such as the houses that the main character lives in and how society functions. I also think society is very advanced in their technology. I think this because of the way they function, although they have some of the same things we have today, such as trains, they also have more high tech homes and drinks that help with the test they take.  I think this is one reason their society is advanced because we today can’t come close to a legal drink that will do this to someone. We also couldn’t think of having the technology they have in our own homes. I also think that one thing that is very interesting is that Triss could only look in the mirror for so long because she was born into the selfishness faction. I think this would be very weird because we have gotten used to looking at ourselves in the mirror and making ourselves look good. So in their faction they wouldn’t know if they look good or not which could be a struggle for some people. I also think it would be very hard for some people to become one faction because this means you have to fit in, and in society today a lot of people don’t perfectly fit in making this adjustment very hard. I think living in this society would have to be a big adjustment, because all of the aspects of life are changed in many un expected ways.

She is best known for the divergent series the series I am reading now. She also has four short stories from Tobias’s Point of view coming out this year. I hope she writes more because she is a great author.

 I believe that the video clip posted is a great demonstration of displacement because throughout this scene memo is very uncomfortable with the situation. Displacement is defined as when characters are uncomfortable with or at odds with the setting. I think this is shown greatly in the clip because nemo is just out in the new tank and he has no idea where he is and begins to swim frantically around te tank, running into the glass multiple times. I also think this shoes displacement because he doesn't know the ither fish in the tank and they scare him too. I believe this scene is an awesome acene for displacement.

I have recently finished the book the fault in our stars. I really like the book, it really appealed to the readers emotion. I really am looking forward to seeing the movie with all my friends who have also read the book. I am now planning to start reading the Divergent series, although I have seen the first movie i am still looking forward to reading these books. I have heard all of the books are very good. I have been told they have a lot of action, character development, and plot twists. Some people on my jump rope team have even started to read the 'new' series, which is from the character named four's perspective on the whole situation. I am very excited to get reading.

This is one of my favorite movies Non Stop. This particular scene perfectly describes the whole movie. It describeds the situation, what is going on, and the air marshals back story. I also like how you can almost feel the emotion in the passengers. This movie is a great movie, i was on the edge of my seat the whole entire time. I would recomend this movie to anyone.
