The work poem

Vive reached a bit further than half(prenominal) the book and I have been glued to the cover since day one. One major theme that speedwell Roth appears to be focusing on is that being yourself takes courage. She created this world where flock are sorted into five factions base on a single test at the age of sixteen. In the earlier chapters, her family is shown to follow customs and look at leaving the family in a bad way (reference). So when both Caleb and Beatrice forward decide to choose a unlike faction and abandon there family, it shows the amount of courage taken.During the compartmentalization ceremony, Beatrice scrambled thoughts moving very quickly show the bravery involved in being yourself, not barely to yourself but to those around you. The story opens up with a reflection. Reflection ab come out self kitchen range and who you are. It stars 16 year old Beatrice Priors curiosity in herself, which is not common for those from Vegetation. When she tries to find herse lf she ends up determination herself In a dangerous position, being divergent (different). Her friends, Will, AAA and Christina seem very helpful as they are somewhat outcasts (transfers) that are not with the Andorra group.Some predictions I made were that Four, one of the Dauntless Is the son of Marcus and he Is being pushed by scoop to obtain a leader and possibly the leader of the Dauntless. I hope he may also be divergent and have the characteristics from the brave and the selfless, hence the fact that Max would Like him to be a leader. That is why the vegetation governs, because they are Incorruptible. I also predict that the motive that Divergence Is tabooed and exiled Is because they corrupt the system.Their abilities show the flaw In the system, and how his dyspepsia society and Its restricting thinking cannot be categorized. How can someone truly find themselves when they can only be sorted Into five different areas, where only one of the characteristics can be practi ced. Another prediction Is a large war in the midst of the five factions. They all have complete differences (abnegation vs. erudite, dauntless vs. candor..? ) and are working together currently, but It only takes one diamond In the rough (divergent) to break the system.As It seems there are many people who become factionists, this represents poverty and homeless Iranians, they may also create an uprising Like In the Hunger Games, which Is unremarkably related Josh The Road Journal As I finish the commencement exercise half of The Road, my nominal thoughts are that Its a great disappoint. In terms of characters, McCarthy takes a different approach when it comes to characters. No label are given to any of the characters. However, this does not take away from character development. I am brotherly of the concept of a father and son as main characters.I feel as if it adds a warp on the genre and provides more of an emotional aspect to the story. Additionally, it adds a place to r elate to, as everyone as experienced some form of paternal love. With regards to the characters themselves, The father expresses a deep love for his son. Demonstrated by him persecuteing anyone that touches him. However, as I read on the fathers health is deteriorating. I worry for their prospects of living. If the father were to die, most sure would his son. He is too ignorant of what is happening in the world, as well as to accepting of others.Although I wouldnt like it, I feel the father go forth eventually die. In terms of setting, McCarthy does a dreaded Job of conveying a barren and gruesome wasteland. Although I have yet to learn the assume location, I have a good understanding of the scenery. The plot is typical of a book of much(prenominal) genre. The characters are trying to survive, and are Journeying down The Road. However, McCarthy spares no expense with regards to demonstrating the atrocities humans could commit. definite scenes I found brutal to read, often per taining to cannibalism. The theme of paternal love is prominent within the first section of the book.Considering the main characters, this theme can be expected. McCarthy makes an effort to emphasize the mans love for his son. At miscellaneous points in the story it is explained that the mans entire will to live lies within his son. Before his wife committed suicide, she pointed out the boy was all that stood between him and death. The quotation explains that the only thing that prevented the man from suicide was his son. Furthermore, in spite of the distaste with violence the two express, the father is quick to violence if his son is harmed. When they encounter someone who threatens to harm the boy the father does not hesitate to kill him.He expresses such thoughts when he says My Job is to take compassionate of you. I was appointed to do that by God. I will kill anyone who touches you. Do you understand? . throughout the story the father and son make reference to whether they are the good guys. They often question the actions of others and themselves. With reading, I feel McCarthy has put emphasis on humanity and morals. They speak of carrying the fire, which is the term they use to picture people who are moral. If such a situation was to happen in modern civilization, what extent will people go to survive?Would people really strive to be moral in their actions, or succumb to inhumane ethos of survival? Secondly, McCarthy constantly shows the mans determination to live. Despite his sons questions on death, and his willingness to die, the man pushes on. Even patronage the advice of his wife, he cannot afford to see his son die. His love for his son is too great to let him go. I think McCarthy wants us to consider what drives us. What do we love and fight for. That through love and determination people overcome the most dire of circumstances. That if a post apocalyptic scenario were to present itself would we give up on life?
