Insurgent May 14

Pages read:290-350
Prompt: Paragraphs and Questions

After the attack the none dauntless traitors decided that it was't safe at the candor compound anymore. So they decided to go back to the dauntless compound because they figured that the traitors would all be at the Erudite compound. Before they went back they had to come up with new leaders to make decisions. So they nominated Tori, Harrison, And Tobias as the leaders they decided to kill Eric the once leader of Dauntless and now a traitor.

Once they killed Eric they move back to the dauntless compound and shot every camera with paintballs so that the erudite could't spy on them. After a couple of nights Catherine wake sup Tris and tells her that there are some people that are being controlled by the simulation but they are not hurting anyone instead they go to the roof of the compound and what for Tris and Catherine their. The three people that were being controlled was a little girl Hector and Marlene. Tris was very good friends with Marlene and Hector so it was very hard to deiced how to save. Christina already saved the little girl so Tris ended up having to save Hector so Marlene.

Some Questions I had:

Why did the author want to put Tris in this position?

Why did the author decide to have Hector and  Marlene be the ones that went under the simulation?

Why did Tris save Hector and not Marlene.

What made them kill Eric was it anger or was it because they were forced to.

40 Book Challenge

          The 40 book challenge has helped me read multiple books like Wonder and The Giver that I would normally not read. I have read about 20 books this year this is a lot more then I have ever read in one year. In 6th grade I probably read about 3-4 books because I would't be able to find a
book that would interest me. But the challenge forced me to read different kinds of books that I actually found to enjoy. Even though I wont be able to complete the challenge I definitely did better then all my other years. So every year am going to work on reading more books then I did the past year.
 
          I did this by setting goals for how much I should read each week. I would read before I go to bed and when I would have free time during school. I am going to able to read more books next year by finding books that interest me because those books I would be able to read the fastest. Over all the 40 book challenge helped me open up to different kinds of book.

Insurgent May 1

Prompt:What has happened
Pages Read:140-230


When Tris and Tobias got to the Candor compound they were placed under arrest for being accused of helping the Erudite. But to make sure the candor leader made them take the truth serum so that they would have to take the test even if they did't want to.  The candor leader found out that they were not trying to help the erudite and let them go. The only bad thing about the truth serum was that it made you tell personal things so Tobia found out about some things that Tris did not trust with him. So that night tris and Tobias have a fight about trust and things like that but after a while things got al better.

After a couple of days staying at the compound the erudite attacked but not the same way they thought they would. Instead of guns they came in with somewhat like tranquilizer guns but instead of the knockout stuff it was the simulation serum. It wasent meant to kill anyone but it was meant to find out who was divergent. Tris was able to make escape and call for help. So finally the none traitor dauntless got there and started to fight of the other dauntless.

After the simulation wore of  everyone was back away and back to normall. But tobias found out something that could be very terrible for them. The erudite found a way to make a long lasting simulation serum. The only reason why they got a away the first time was because the simulation whore of and the fact that they destroyed the simulation controls. But now the Erudite will be able to control everyone for a longer time witch could lead to disaster for the none traitors.
