Visualize: Some scenes that I was able to visualize in my book were, some of the fights between Islamic terrorists and US soldiers. I would be able to imagine soldiers storming a terrorist cell and freeing innocent people. I am able to imagine this, because the author does an awesome job in vividly describing all of the events.

Text to Text: The connections that I am making are between this book, Battlegrounds and Killing the Killers. Both of these books talk about terrorism. These two books talk about killing, and preventing terrorism.

Characterization: The main character, Dash does not like the moon base. The character Dash, takes video lesson from Earth as school and talks to his friend Kyra. Dash says, and talks about how he wishes he was back home at Hawaii. Dash thinks in his head and speaks telepathically with a space alien named Zan.

Antagonist: The person who posed as Dr. Chen during the excavation of Minerva is the antagonist because she tried to steal the Tyrannosaurus that Teddy was trying to find. In the book, Fake Dr. Chen and eight other people dragged the skull into a U-Haul and tried to get away. Teddy was trying to get the skull back, and jumped on the U-Haul and ended up saving the skull and putting the faker behind bars.

Static v. Dynamic: Teddy is a static character who is always solving crimes and never really changes his behavior or his way of living. The one character that is dynamic in this story is Xavier he went from being a kid who no one cared about to being a popular person.

Conflict: This story's conflict is external. This makes it a character vs. character. For example, in the book Flush, the character's dad is fighting against a captain aboard a gambling ship who is illegally dumping his waste into the bay. This shows that this story's conflict is character vs. character, because of the conflict between Noah's dad and the captain of the Coral Queen.

PREDICTIONS: Since the fire that Bunny Starch has been missing, I assume that Nick and Marta will be able to find out where their biology teacher, Mrs Starch will be or is."The headmaster wasted no time getting to his questions."Did you and Marta really go to Mrs. Starch's house?"Nick nodded."Nobody's seen her since the field trip. It just seems so weird." " This shows that they are willing to go find Mrs. Starch.

The point of view in this awesome story of Allegiant is first person narrator. This book is first person, because it tells the tale from the perspective of Tris and Tobias. This proves that this book is written in first person.

The protagonist in this book thoughts, actions and emotions wise would probably be Al. Al is a kid in Tris's dauntless training who was the strongest but refused to fight. This proves that he is the master procrastinator, because refusing to fight and hurt people would later on get him kicked out of any faction and become factionless, which is basically homelessness in the book.

Divergent is an awesome book about a girl whose mother is Divergent and passes it on to her. Divergence is considered to be dangerous by the Euridite because it cannot be controlled by a simulation. She realizes her divergence and goes to the Dauntless faction and as she climbs the rankings she realizes that the Euridite is plotting something can she stop it before it's too late or will she fail?

Divergent is a awesome book about a girl who is born from a mother that was a dauntless but turned out to be Divergent and switched to Abnegation and had her as a child and Tris turns out to go to Duantless and as she climbs in the ranks, she realizes the Erudite was plotting something with their leaders.
