After previous books, the two’s love for eachother deepened more and more during the selection.

I think the more he connected the readers to his characters, it made his story more of a reality. It was if I could put myself in their positions because I was similar to them. When the characters would react crazy or insane like Dave Jensen did in the chapter Enemies, he felt he couldn’t trust anyone, but he had to make things right. He drove himself crazy because he felt he would be attacked from his team and the real enemies. I believe that would probably happen to most people and we can all have a breaking point even O’Brien had his own.
Chase followed in the footsteps of Shay and became a nicer person. Crash was very intimidating, but was influenced by Shay and showed much more kindness to people. Third, a character named Calloway who was extremely racist. Calloway didn't want to be with
First the book starts off as a romance novel. An ordinary girl finds love with a prince, a classic but entertaining. Now with this novel, the competition started and everyone was fighting for Maxon's affection. But suddenly, a war begins and nuclear weapons attack the castle? It was difficult to keep up with what was really going on, as many unrelated things were occuring at the same time.
The cruelty and inhumanity they received, caused the characters to be desensitized. They lost their morals, especially within their families, and they
For example, in the beginning, the seemingly utopian relationship between Gene and Phineas showed how they are both good characters at heart. There was little to no conflict between the two, and there were no unfriendly feelings between them. However, as the story progresses, the reader sees how this relationship falls into decline, as Gene goes from being amiable to unstable and paranoid, while Finny is unfalteringly friendly. For example, as Gene and Phineas are getting ready to sleep at the beach, Phineas says to Gene, "You are [my best pal]." (41) Gene thinks about returning the compliment, but he does not.
In all of these stories, their flaws were their undoing. It is not just these characters that have flaws; the whole human race does. Everyone has their own flaws, and that will never change. It can, however, be reduced. If there is one lesson that all humans can learn from these characters, it is to let go of what is bothering them.
The book I am reading is called The One. The page I am on is page 235/323. This book is about the final 4 girls trying to win the spot of the prince’s wife. So far America is in the lead and Maxon, the prince, really wants to marry her. But his father doesn’t even like her
Overall, he is a well-rounded character because he has deep conflicts, things he wants
Circumstances and different actions shown by the characters influenced the development of the character to character relationships as the novel progresses.
The fantasy is about Buttercup, a milkmaid, and Westley, a farm boy, who fall in love and have to face many obstacles. The story mainly develops the themes of true love and revenge. However, in the book, The Princess Bride by William Goldman, the story develops the theme of revenge and true love in more depth compared to the movie. First of all, the book provides a detailed past of each main character which makes the reader sympathize with them. For example, in the book, the author has dedicated four to five pages to understand Inigo’s and Fezzik’s past.
But because of his bad character traits the story dragged on longer than it needed to when he could've just been
Wilson shows that even those characters that seem lost in life and are taken advantage are the most wise. Those characters shouldn’t be seen different because they are the most influential characters since they know more than what they look like they
The Selection is the chance of a lifetime for the 35 girls as it’s their chance to escape their given life and to expose themselves with priceless jewels, gowns and compete for the heart of the young gorgeous Prince – Prince Maxon. The book is written by an American writer of young-adult fiction, Kiera Cass. The book is an interesting one because not only it catches many attention but also the main character, America, and I have a lot of common as we both live a simple life and tend to prefer living it as how it is till the end. The Selection is a romance novel and the first book in The Selection Series, followed by The Elite, then The One.
I felt the side characters were just a bit underwhelming, but were still interesting which was enough for me. I just wished we had more of say Adam, Edith, and Iren but I expect we’ll get to know them more in the next book so I’m excited. Tarrou was an interesting character and his sacrifice was so tragic and I really felt bad for the guy.
