The current summary of what I am able to produce from 21 pages of this book is that there are 5 factions known as Abnegation, Candor, Erudite, Amity, and dauntless. It also seems that there is also a test that can divide you into the factions and that the main character has multiple brothers and is not allowed to look into a mirror.

Visualize: In my book, there are many moments that allow me to visualize what is going on. For example, Priyanka, Suzume, and Roman raid a gas station for supplies to get to where they need to go. They end up getting captured in the end which also help show when Suzume, the protagonist ends up going unconscious. This is all very easily visualized as 3 people breaking into a gas station who all end up captured.

TEXT to WORLD: Almost the entire text can be related to the world as it shows a dystopian world where a corrupt government limits children and keeps them in camps which involve books 1-3. In this book I can make text to WORLD as people are constantly making bounties and attempting to kidnap others just because they are global figures. This is also demonstrated as going too far accidentally and not being believed.

Characterization: The way a character is revealed in my book is revealing their feelings. As for example in chapter one Ruby is not named directly but we know that it is ruby because of her anger and saying how she can ruin the lady who threw a bomb at her car. A final way I know that the author uses feelings is that the author also doesn't reveal in the prologue that it is Zu and instead slowly shows hesitance.

Antagonist: The antagonist in my book is President Gray. The way that I can prove he is the antagonist is because he is the one who invented the rehabilitation camps which were not exactly helping the kids, but torturing them even more. One final way that he is the antagonist is he is not helping to get rid of agent ambrosia which is what made the children have powers.

Static Vs. Dynamic: The protagonist, or ruby, is a dynamic character as throughout the story she goes through multiple changes like training herself and is learning to feel sympathy for those who's mind she goes into.
The antagonist president gray is a static character as he does not change throughout the story and keeps his one goal of keeping IAAN kids in their rehabilitation camps.

CONFLICT: The Conflict in my book is Character Versus character as there are many moments in which ruby is fighting with another character. The main reason ruby ends up fighting is almost always over food as her group never has enough food. They also have a prisoner named Clancy who ruby also fights with via mind rather than physically.

PREDICTIONS: I predict that my book will show up with Ruby and the rest of the league raiding the Thurmond and Oasis camps and saving hundreds of kids. I can prove my hypothesis because they were investigating the camps files and getting ready for more kids to make the raid on oasis or the warm-up for Thurmond where there are thousands of kid

Point of view: The point of view in my book that I have now finished is first person. The way that I know is because whenever the main character talk it does not use ruby it use /I/ which shows that the uses first person. It has not changed throughout both book and I doubt it will ever change.

Protagonist: The protagonist is the main character, the character who leads you through the story. The protagonist in my book is Ruby, and I can prove she is the protagonist because the story is a 2nd person POV. All books use a POV of some sort and my book uses 2nd person rather than 1st or 3rd person POV's

SETTING: The setting in my book is a tent in a forest within the time period of 2015 through 2016. The setting has changed multiple times in the book so far from being in a collapsing building in 2015 to being in a tent in 2016. The main character or the (MC) is going through many different settings as she is moving around much more then the previous book.

Genres: Young adult, Dystopia, Fantasy. For fantasy I know that it is fantasy because of how all the kids have some sort of power. The way I know it is young adult is because it is about a few 16 years old. the way I know that it is about dystopia is that I looked on the book description and it listed dystopia

Ruby and her new friends end up at a junkyard full of RV's. While Zu and Ruby are investigating one of the RV's Zu attempts to start the RV. Zu accidentally activated a dash cam which was connected to a GPS. Ruby and the others all hear sirens from PSF's and the PSF's start going after them. Everyone is blasted with white noise yet Zu still ends up saving them by destroying the white noise machine.
