Divergent

Divergent, by Veronica Ross, is a book about 16 year old Beatrice Prior. In Beatrice's world instead of countries, states, or cities, there are five factions. Each faction is based upon their perspective on what caused war, and the priorities and values of each faction are the opposite. Abnegation, the faction in which Beatrice was born in values selflessness as most important. Their job is to give to the factionless (those without a faction) and to govern the factions. Erudite values intelligence the most, although by Beatrice’s generation the original intentions of Erudite have gone slightly awry and now the factor is better described by some as greedy for knowledge (instead of using the knowledge for the greater good they keep it to themselves). Amity values peace the most, and the Candor can’t tell a lie. The Dauntless believe in bravery, although they too, like Erudite, have changed since the founding. The dauntless now believe that bravery involves beating people up, jumping on and off moving trains, and jumping off buildings. At age 16 every child in every factor takes the aptitude test to decide what factor they are best fit for and then soon after at a choosing ceremony they have to decide which factor they will be loyal to for the rest of their life. Beatrice's test results, were inconclusive. She is divergent.

Out Of My Mind

     Imagine if you were a genius, but no one knew. Eleven year old Melody has never spoken a word. She has never played on the monkey bars at recess, climbed on a tree, or even walked a step. All the words she has ever used are typed up on a board. Melody's only form of communication is to point with her thumb to a word on a board.

      Melody has every word she has ever heard in her head. She lets them swirl and flow around her as if they were a gentle song. She treasures every word hoping some day she will be able to let them out.

She also has a photographic memory. Any commercial she has ever seen sticks in her head. She knows the number if she ever wants a carpet cleaned, a window wiped, or a lawn mowed.
    Seeing the different colors of songs as they drift through the air just comes naturally to her. Melody has synesthesia. this allows her to see songs, and taste them to.

Cinder

When you hear a book name like Cinder you think of Cinderella, but in this time it is not such a fairy tale. Linh Cinder is a teenage cyborg on a planet that has gone through many world wars, a couple interplanetary attacks, and one deathly plague. A plague known to have killed hundreds of thousands of people. Once you have caught it most might consider you as dead. One night at the junk yard Cinder's adopted sister catches it. Marissa Meyers astounding new novel Cinder will flood yo with fear, imagination, and hope as you follow a story filled with a queen from the moon, a lunar army, and a possible cure for the deathly plague letumosis.

Books?!?

Hey guys soo you know how we were reading a mango shaped space that was mainly because Matilda and Sophia wanted to. Now they don't so what should we do?

Book club meeting

So today at our meeting we barely talked about books for more than two minutes, but we did confirm that we are reading A Mango Shaped Space. Here is a basic summary of the meeting:
 
       First Sophia arrived (i was hosting it) and we stayed in the little tree house out back and talked until Matilda arrived. Then we talked a little longer until Olivia arrived. The moment she arrived she bribed my sister Elizabeth with cookies, because at Brentwood Rocks Elizabeth was deathly afraid of Olivia.  After that Olivia found a small plank of wood ( it was about a foot and a quarter long ) and decided to slide down a sort of ramp-ish thing on it. It was like a normal ramp but every other board wasn't there. The first few times she tried it kept getting stuck on the way down. It worked once, but that was the only time. During that Sophia had to leave. Then we had snack and played sardines, Olivia hides and everyone else finds, and hide and seek tag. When Matilda was leaving Olivia and I sneaked into the trunk of her car and it would of worked except Matilda told on us. Then everyone left.   

FIRST MEETING

So today we actually have our first meeting. From 12:30 til 2:00 (I think). So we might post from the meeting.

So we decided on a new book because one member didn't want to read hunger games, so our new book is called

A Mango Shaped Space
                                                          






There is another cover for the book, but it is still the same story.
