How does the beginning create interest?
Insurgent is the second book in the trilogy, and at the end of the first book (Divergent) there was a BIG cliff hanger. The beginning of this book helped me to understand the end of Divergent, it also helped me to further understand the characters as you learn more about what their beliefs are and how they react in certain situations.
How effective is the title?
The title Insurgent I think is very effective. The first book in the trilogy called Divergent just so happens to rhyme with the second books name, Insurgent. The title of this book also sums up exactly what is happening in the book.
This book is all about a revolution and fighting back against the people who took control.
What do you think the writers message was?
I think that the writers message to readers, is that no matter how much control somebody has over you, if you get enough people on your side, with the same aim and passion that you have to take back control, you can do anything.
Did any other books remind you of this novel?
Yes, The Hunger Games Catching Fire. Catching Fire is all about the revolution between the districts, and this just so happens to be what is happening in Insurgent too!
Have you learnt anything from the text?
I learnt a lot from this text. I learnt that people with core beliefs and will stick by them no matter what. And that power is not everything, sometimes it is better to just watch than try to take over to world!
