Blogger Reflection



This post exemplifies my ability to access my book because it shows how I made predictions and how they came true but also how the author put a twist in the story so it’s not too predictable. This blog post also shows how I analyze the characters. In the book Tris’ brother also decides to leave his family and become part of another faction which really surprised me because by the way that Tris described him, it seemed like he completely belonged in Abnegation.

The goals I have for next trimester in reading are to read at least two books because this trimester I only finished one and read at least 50-75 pages a week.  For writing my goal is to keep up with my blog and do a minimum of three posts a week about my books. Next trimester some areas of improvements in reading are I want to work on is not putting off the blog until last minute but instead read throughout the week and then keep up with my blog throughout the week too. Some areas of improvements in writing I want to improve on adding more detail to my writing as well as use more figurative language throughout my writing to further explain my reading.

Divergent 14

Now Tris is also having trouble with some of the other members of her faction. They talk about her, make fun of her and bully her but she has her friends there to support her when she needs them.

I think that Tris will continue to struggle in learning how to fight because all growing up her morals were completely different. i think that since she didn't have a partner for the fight she will have to go up against either Four or Eric, the Leader of the faction.

Tris is still fighting to be less selfless. she is having an internal conflict as her only friend gets in a fight and is forced by the faction leader to hold on the edge near a river for 5 minutes. worrying about what could happen if she helped, she decides not to help until 5 minutes is up and she helps her up the ledge.

Tris is having some problems catching up so some of the other people in her training class. Four, the instructor, told her that she should use her elbows and knees for fighting because she didn't have a lot of muscle. she has to get used to doing something and try it out a few times before she can do it well which holds her back.

Beatrice changed her name to Tris and decided to get a tattoo. she thought it would help her move on and forget about her family and only look forward to the future. She got 3 ravens for her tattoo to represent each family member that she left behind; her mom, dad, and brother.
