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.
