The Leader In Margaret Atwood's The Glade
This section of this book was my favorite section of the book. I think that Alby should have been more of a leader in the being because he was the leader and he collapsed and gave up. If you are about to die or if some of your friends are about to die, I really think that is when you should be the strongest leader you could be and not just quit. When the walls weren't closing I got really scared for everyone in the Glade. I thought that Teresa had something to do with the ending because when she came I started not to trust her. I was also a little confused when Teresa said the she had brought the ending. I didn't know what that meant, but then realized that that means that they will have to escape really soon. When Thomas figured out an idea …show more content…
When Thomas, Teresa, and Chuck go to the cliff to jump through the griever hole all of the grievers were in the way. The gladers had made a path and when they jumped I was so nervous that they were just going to fall and that hole wouldn’t be there any more. WHen Chuck found they last part of the code to shut off the grievers I was so happy. When they got the people that served back I was sad because there were a lot less than what I thought there was going to be. When it was time to face the creators I felt bad for all of them because they were nervous and scared. They had tried to kill Thomas by thoughing a knife at him and Chucked had jumped in front of him to save him my heart broke. I wanted to cry because Chuck was still young and I felt so bad for him that he had to die. In my opinion Chuck had died a hero and I’m still really sad that he had died. The people that had rescued them from the creators I don’t trust them at all. This section of the book was my favorite and the most intense section of the

    It had humor, real life events, sadness, and suspense. I would most definitely recommend this novel to someone because although it’s very long, you won’t want to stop reading it. This book will make you wonder, cry, even laugh. It’s a book that I think had great meaning and was put together very well. In my opinion, there is no flaws about this book except how long it is.…

    Kathy Dobie Analysis

    In conclusion, there were saddening moments of Kathy’s choices. There were also comforting moments. I did favor the ending of the book when Kathy finally found who she wanted to be. She used her power for good and ended up with similarities such as her Aunt Emma. I found that to be interesting coming from her first instincts. She really did change the way she thought about things and became a powerful, independent woman in the…

    I enjoyed this book thoroughly and always kept me intrigued until the end. It had small twists in it that were rather easy to interpret but it was also very interesting. I don’t particularly relate to this book, although situations that I’ve endured have changed my perspective on life, in a positive aspect, and made me unprejudiced and versatile and not so…

    Max and Rudy were two characters I could feel connected to. Rudy was quite persistent asking Liesel for a kiss. I found it really crushingly beautiful how Liesel gave him a goodbye kiss after Death came for him. This book was to a large degree gloomy. The parts that to me had a positive feel were when Liesel and Hans would read together. The two of them had a heartwarming relationship. Rosa and Hans were so vastly different, both cared deeply they just had different ideas on how show…

    First-Part Last Symbols

    I like how its really intense and calming and also some parts funny. I like how it talks about teen pregnancy because some young teens will want to get pregnant at such a young age and if they read this book it may help them change their mind and wait till they get older, thats very important to me. I really like the chapter where Bobby was talking about the wall when he was trying to get everything back in place and try to see who he really was, i thought that part was really good. I like how it goes back and fourth for the chapters like then and now, it makes you want to read more because in one chapter it tells you really good information and you just want to read even more till the…

    I found the beginning of this book quite confusing. I had a difficult time discerning who the main characters were and what was the plot. I also wasn't quite sure when the Mother had died and it wasn't until later that I realized the reason that Carmen was present was because she had traveled home for her mother's funeral. However, once I got into the book and started to put the characters in context, I really began to enjoy it.…

    Willow Frost Poem

    • 1004 Words
    • 5 Pages

    I enjoyed how easily I could lose myself in the novel; after what I thought was only minutes turned out to be hours and before I knew it, it was early the next morning and all I wanted to do was keep reading. Personally, reading this novel was the exact definition of being swept away and taken into it because most times I completely left reality and if it was the middle of the day in the novel, I would truly believe it was the middle of the day in reality! I felt every moment. Except usually, when Willow felt sadness, I was angry mostly from a lack of understanding of why she continued to live through societal views and while talking to my culturally and ethnically diverse groupmates at CHS some didn’t feel angry at all, some felt satisfaction or even pride, and that just goes to show that this novel is more revolutionary than most can see. A lot of people see this as just another story, but it can unite a wide range of people and create conflict and discussion, but most of all it creates knowledge, certainly more knowledge than we can consciously verify. I would not change a single punctuation mark at this time.…

    The way this book ends is a strength to me. It makes the reader think about it their self not just read and find out. Reading this book I felt as if I was one of the jurors myself. The only down fall for that is I didn't have a say in anything but i had my options. The book not telling me if the boy was guilty or not makes me want to figure it all out. This ending as well as book was great. This ending was definitely a strength within the…

    In the beginning of the novel, Harriet had introduced herself which makes it clear on what here life looks now as a model. When you introduce yourself, people have a good understanding of your life now. The middle was probably the clearest. The middle flowed surprisingly well with the novel. The ending flowed well from the start to the end of the book. The opening of the book had really hooked me into the novel. Within the beginning of the novel, Harriet has introduced herself from what occurred from the previous book (which is the first book of the series Geek Girl) to the current book. After reading the first page, I needed to read more of the book as it is pretty manageable to follow through and had a superior storyline. The middle will never sag as it is very interesting to see the slight twists in the book. In the middle, conflicts appear and the conflicts that already happened got more worse. With that middle, it made the novel more mysterious as it would continue in the end of the book.The ending for me in the case was completely unexpected. In the ending, Harriet and Nick get back together. I thought that they would never get back together but in the end, it seems like it. Part of the ending was Harriet leaving Tokyo. I would obviously predict that would happen because she just took the job over the summer and would have to come home. Also because, Harriet would be forced by her step-mother to see her…
