Insurgent Character Analysis
Tris and Four need to stop the Erudite and Dauntless leaders from going to war against Abnegation the government faction. When both of them wake up one night they realize they are the only ones awake. Everybody else is in a simulation controlled by the evil faction leaders. To save their old faction they pretend to be in the simulation too. Until they are caught and Four is being put into a simulation especially for divergent people. Tris gets saved by her mom and meets her old friends and family again. With her family and Four’s abusive father, Tris goes back to the dauntless headquarters to stop the war simulation and save Four. In my next book Insurgent, Tris, Four, her brother and the other Abnegation survivors flee to the Amity. There …show more content…

Why did Four’s mom pretend to be dead? Well first, Marcus her husband didn’t only abuse Four but he also abused her. Marcus as an Abnegation leader, acts very kind and calm on the outside but is very cruel behind closed doors. He made sure Four was to scared to tell anybody. We don’t really get a lot of information about that but I think he abused her in the same way or even worse. Leaving was the right thing to do. But she had to fake her demise so it wouldn’t reflect bad on Marcus or Abnegation because she still cared for him. But Four is very angry with her because ‘’She left me with him.’’ (Four, 12) Why did the Abnegation need to leave the Amity quarters? The Amite had given them specific rules to follow, be nice, no conflicts and work. But because Tris’ dauntless enemy Peter is there with them, there are always some tensions in the air. When Tris finds Peter snooping around in her room and stealing the hard drive with information about her parents’ death/ she gets very angry and the two of them start to fight. So they broke a rule. As a ‘’treatment’’ Tris gets injected with a serum that makes you peaceful but they accidently overdosed her. Four gets angry and they plan to leave in a few days anyways but then the Erudite came and they had to flee anyways. All of this really shows that there is a lot more going on than everybody thinks there

    One of the main characters in “V for Vendetta” is V. He is a mysterious, vigilante, freedom fighter, and a terrorist who is easily recognized by his Guy Fawkes mask, long hair, and dark clothing. He is a person permeated by an idea that the country they are living in is sick and that it is his duty to save the country and fulfill the idea. He was permeated by this idea after his experience at Larkhill where he underwent medical testing and saw that his country was up to. The costume V is wearing is mainly black and could possibly symbolize his dark site because V is no ordinary hero and the dark outfit underlines these two sites of him. Furthermore, V also wears a bright and white mask, which could symbolize that he also has some good in him. Additionally, the mask V is wearing is a Guy Fawkes mask, which underlines the idea he is permeated by. The mask shows us that he has the same idea as Guy Fawkes, which is to take the government down.…

    I genuinely did not expect to learn this much from the book Unbroken. The story of Louie Zamperini was unexpectedly much more understandable and relatable than I first imagined. Seeing the main character was a former war hero, I found it surprising I was able to connect to him as I happen to be fourteen. In my opinion, readers can easily compare similar situations in their life, regardless of their age. A point often overlooked, Louie is a true survivor. He was stranded forty-seven days on a crammed raft, as well as beaten without remorse at a prison camp for two years. Louie was stripped of his friends as he watched them either be transferred or slowly die. He witnessed many accounts of sexual abuse to innocent and helpless animals, as well…

    During the sixteenth century, the role of men and women within society were distinctly determined and demonstrated in France. When it came to marriage, men had to remain faithful to his wife, while women also had to remain faithful to her husband. It was the man’s job to take care of his family and wife by being the provider. It was the woman’s job to keep honor to the family by being loyal wives and attentive mothers. Both the husband and wife were responsible to uphold these roles because divorce was not an option through the eyes of the church. In the sixteenth century, marriages were usually arranged at a very young age for both men and women in order to gain prosperity and property. In the novel The Return of Martin Guerre, Natalie Zemon Davis uses characters such as Bertrande and Martin/Arnaud to represent gender and marriage roles that were common during the sixteenth century in rural…

    Krakauer wrote that Chris McCandless was, "green, and he overestimated his resilience, but was sufficiently skilled to last for sixteen weeks on a little more than his wits and ten pounds of rice"(Krakauer 182). In this quote it seems that Krakauer thought that McCandless was well equipped with his skills, so that made moderately prepared to survive in any situation. I feel that McCandless was rather prepared, yet again he never could have been fully prepared for the unexpected. My opinion is that McCandless was vaguely aware of the struggles that he would encounter in the Alaskan wilderness such as his epiphany that "happiness is only real when shared" was realized when his body was dying of starvation. I believed that he found what he was…

    Betrayal is to disappoint the hopes or expectations of others. To me, betrayal is when an author kills my favorite character in a book because they have betrayed my trust and have hindered my ability to thoroughly enjoy the book or other works they have done. Books are not just stories; they are experiences. When I am engrossed in a book and connect with a certain character it is devastating if they die.…
