Word Choice

I have noticed that Veronica Roth has used many works that I have never heard before throughout her writing that seem very unique I might want to use them in my own writing. Some examples of words she has used in the text are "His expression is calm, but he's angry-the terseness in his voice betrays him" (Page 40) and "His hatred of Erudite was so vehement it must have been personal" (Page 116). She uses the word "terseness", which means that you few words to convey a larger meaning so when he's calm but uses few words and quickly explains himself it's a contradiction. She also used the word "vehement" which means uttered with forcefulness which better explains his hatred for the Erudite. By using these words it sets a elevated tone in the writing unlike when uses words like "C'mere" (Page 47). Those words are more casual and are used in conversation and typically hold less meaning.

I am now about halfway through the book and I can definitely say that this book is just as good if not better than the first, there are now so many characters and twist that there are probably a hundred different ways the book could go. Veronica Roth has a very good way of making you want to keep reading there is always something interesting going on. In some other books I read there are large portions of no action and it gets really boring but then there is one chapter that is very good then its over. With how she writes you are never bored and being someone who can't still for long that is a good thing or else I would never be able to read anything. If you get bored or need something to read I would highly recommend this book for all those who like action.

Insurgent - Veronica Roth

I just started reading Insurgent, which is the second book in the Divergence series and it is already just as good as the first book in the series. And I already notice that Veronica Roth uses a large variety of sentence structures in her writing, such as really short sentences like "So I agree" (Page 32). Which add a lot more emphasize on those sentences and she also used much more complicated sentences when describing some things like "It is large and open, with black-and-white cloth draped on every wall, and a circle of podiums in the center of the room" (Page 228). This kind of sentence goes into deep detail about the description of the room and really paints an image in your mind of what it looks like. 

In the book there has been an all out war between the factions and Erudite is at the helm and they have been using serums to put people into simulations so that they can do their dirty work for them, but in the book there are people that can resist these simulations and they are called "Divergent". So with those who are Divergent threatening the Erudite's plan they are trying to kill them all, but they are also saving some and taking them back to the Erudite headquarters which is making me curious what could they possibly want from them? Do they think they can get information from them or learn how their unique traits work, with all these open ended questions that seem to be piling up faster than they are being answered I can't wait to keep reading to find out what will happen.

Book Recomendation

I just finished reading Divergent by Veronica Roth and it really escalates quickly near the end making it very exciting to read. One of my most favorite things about the book is how there are so many twist that you never know what could happen making the book veery unpredictable. The author wrote the end of the book in a way that leaves you wanted answers and it doesn't really provide any closure to the issue at hand which makes you want to read the next book in the series before you even finish the first. The only thing I wish was different about the book was that the author explained more about how the factions were formed and why.

 Divergent is probably in my top most favorite books. It has a lot of action through-out the entire book and there are so many twist and turns it will always leave you wantign more. Numerous times through-out the book the most unexpected and story changing things happen making it interesting the whole time, there are not any points in the book that will bore you. Veronica Roth's writing style is very good because it's not too difficult but there are some areas with more complex vocabulary which can help you grow your vocabulary as well. I would highely recommend this book to anyone who likes action and constant plot changes to keep you wondering whatas going to happen next.
