Tolerance

Tolerance:having the ability to go a long with and not necessarily agree with the ideas of others.

What tolerance means to me? tolerance to me means that you have to ability to think of others and their beliefs. You won't judge and discriminate against them even if their beliefs are different and if they like someone it should be their decision and their choice to be what they want.

Back when I was in Unity their was many LGBT students who i've known and barely came out. People would ask how can  you be friends with them are you one of them? I would say the same thing over and over again. No. It shouldn't matter on who they like or what they like. It depends on the personality of the person.  I hated on people who hated on the Idea of being different. Different is good and people should be opened minded with this Idea.

Insurgent

I have gone through so much in insurgent. After they finished talking with the factionless they started to head to the next faction which was Candor which was totally against the whole Erudite thing. When they got their their was two guards and they were stopped and taken inside and where hold. They where then taken to the interrogation room and then put under the truth serum. They were then interrogated. Tobias and Tris were asked about the whole stimulation attack and were then asked personal questions. Tobias was forced to tell everybody about him and his dad and how he was afraid. And tris told them that she killed will and Christina found out what really happened. The thing is that she needed to find out one way or the other. They were then attacked by the dauntless traitors and Eric was their leading this attack. They were then injected with another stimulation serum and divergents were separated then the others. Eric was then told he had to kill all of them except 3. But they weren't going to let this happen so tobias and a group started to attack them and they captured Eric. The Dauntless were outraged and they wanted Eric dead so they got what they wanted and the Eric was killed.

I feel like the genre of this book is adventure sci-fi and fiction. I feel like this because the whole book is like in the future and Tris and Tobias are in a adventure to find the truth.

Done with Jesse

I finally finished Jesse Owens Bio and i have to say i actually enjoyed it. He had a really harsh life and he grew up to be something amazing. He had broken records and shown the people how to be confident. I have learned so much from him in ways that he lived his life with out fear and confidence. People back then were really horrible to black people but he still believed in his dream when nobody did. In his life he jumped over struggles like hurdles like they were nothing and thats what inspires people.
Jesse Owens has to be one of the most bravest people that lived in many ways. First Jesse Owens was black and he lived in the 1930's which was when black people were still being segregated. Yet he followed his dreams of becoming an olympic athlete. I know this because in the entire book it says this over and over again.  Secondly, many black people were afraid of being killed by the Ku Klux Klan. But, Jesse Owens didn't live his life with fear he lived it with compassion.

continueing insurgent

So far in the book a lot has happened but i'm going to tell you from the point i left off. So they were walking for a very long time and then all of a sudden tris feels the tracks vibrating. she stops and feels them with her hand and then feels it again she then turns and sees the train cart behind them. So they started to run so they would be able to ride on it. Once they got in it they saw something weird. It was full of factionless. So when they realized that their was company they didn't know what to do. They told they had to leave  or they would be shot.  Then Tobias told them his name and they said they were able to stay. After this they went to place and called a lady named Theresa which then we found out it was his mother. Then they were talking about his past but i wont tell spoilers.

Tobias is a very tough person. I know this because in the book he is never scared and he protects tris all the time. He never cries and he keeps his self from having any sad feelings. I feel like he does  this so people don't think as him as someone weak.

Jesse Owens

So i have been reading a biography on Jesse Owens and it is very interesting. It has talked about how his parents being sharecroppers and how they had to share a farm with whites because they were poor people. When he was born he wasn't healthy he had sicknesses and people weren't sure if he was going to survive. He had boils which his parents didn't have money to pay to remove or to get rid of them. His mom had to do them herself. She would have to get knife and cut them off. In the book it states that he didn't know if he should cry because he had gone through this so many times and it didn't help to cry.
 I think Jesse was a very strong person because he didn't let anything stop him from pursuing his dreams. I know this because in the Olympics which was in Berlin people were criticizing him for being black and saying that he wasn't going to win and that he was going to cheat. Hitler didn't give him a hand shake which offended him but he kept running. This is a very admirable act because if it was me i would have given up. People thought he was nothing compared to the white runners but he beat them all. This shows that he pursued his dreams.

It is time for Insurgent

I started to read insurgent and it has been good. The beginning started right where it finished which was great because I hate when books start randomly in a different place. So they stopped in the faction of Amity which is great since they are really peaceful. Once they stopped their Marcus had told them where to go since he has been their before. Which I wondered why but, that isn't important. Johanna, Amity's spoke person, had told them that they could stay their if they agreed to have no weapons in which they had a agreed partially. When tris was going to take out her last gun tobias grabbed her arm and put it back where it was. She then put the weapon under the bed she would be sleeping on. The next day they were deciding if they should  let them stay and Amity had let them stay. But Tobias had decided that they should leave in a few days. Tris than said that she didn't like the bread because she felt that it wasn't right which was true because it had a peace serum which is used to make the people calm. It was used on her because when she was going into her "room" Peter was sitting their on her bed she told to leave but he demanded to know why she had the hard drive. She than checked where she left it and it wasn't their peter had grabbed it. She than told him to give it to her put he told her that he wasn't going to give it to her. They got into a fight and tobias and a few Amity came in their to break the fight. they took her to a room and injected her with this weird serum which made her laugh and happy. After the serum was out of her they asked Johanna what it was and she said it was a serum to make people peaceful. She than told them that if they didn't want to be touched by their serum to not eat the bread. The next day Erudite had gone into to Amity and asked if they were able to look for the people which where Tobias, Tris, Caleb, Peter, and some of the Abnegation. They than ran for their lives and people where hurt and some died and they escaped  and that is all that has happened.
So far the conflict in this book has been between Erudite and the abnegation. In the book divergent it talks about how Erudite was trying to kill all of Abnegation. This is showing that their has been conflict between them. In Insurgent it is the same Erudite was trying to get tris and tobias because they helped abnegation get away. I hope that Erudite stops and that they catch Jeanie.

I finished Divergent

I finished Divergent and once I have a chance to read Insurgent I will. I totally loved this book i thought I wouldn't like it because it would be a copy of all those other books but it clearly isn't. Tris has overcome so many things that came in her way and she jumps over them like their nothing. I ended up being right about the whole abnegation divergent Dauntless thing. I hoped that nothing what end up like this but it was a good ending. I feel bad because her ___ and ___ ended up dying and She has ended up with no _______. I really liked the ending because it didn't start another topic or anything it just finished. I feel like finishing this series  is going to be sad for me I never like finishing a series I want them to keep going because i just love those books.I just want to start this next book it seems good and I love reading.

I feel like the theme of this book is sort of like pursue want you go for. In the beginning of the book tris was thinking that she wouldn't survive  initiation or even make to dauntless but she worked hard and was very tough. I know this because in the book it states that she would tell herself that she had to make it and that she would show every body else that she was going to make it that she wasn't as weak as they thought she was. I this can be a very inspiring kind of them because it shows that no matter what background  you can be come a very talented person or become very skilled in what you do.
