Insurgent

I don't even know how to express my hate towards Jeanine, I guess I can just say I hate her. I mean,
this lady is mean and just too hard to understand, she is full of tricks. The fact that no one knows what that blue liquid was they were injected with during the Erudite invasion bothers me. The liquid didn't do anything! But now everyone is in a bad position because who knows what she can do with that liquid. The thing that makes me hate her the most though is her determination, she kills EVERYONE. The Erudite invade and she just starts killing kids! Kids! Just because they're "divergent". I mean, come on there has to be a limit to determination, who cares if they're divergent!

The only thing that doesn't make me angry while reading this book is that Triss may be starting to get her bearings together. As I have said before, I don't like Triss being scared and broken, it makes the book depressing and hopeless, but after Triss (and literally everyone else) watches Tobias beat up his own dad, she snaps. She yells that she isn't hopeless as Tobias claims "It was necessary" (chapter 20). Lets also not forget Triss' want to fight, her want to go to war with Jeanine with the factionless support, her fighting side.

Fahrenheit 451- Scene "Dover Beach" continuation

Doors slammed and the house was empty. "'go home and think about your past husbands' he says" Mrs. Bowles mocks. "so what if I've had more than 1 husband, I deserve to be happy". Mrs. Bowles begins walking much faster, eager to get home "My children don't hate me... Yeah my children don't hate me, my children love me!". "My 12 abortions, he knows I've only had 9, so what, they weren't ALIVE or  anything.". Mrs. Bowles starts scraping at her head trying to get the things Montag said to her out of her head, out of her memory. "Who cares about literature though, that's right Clara, keep telling yourself that." She stops walking and starts pacing. "But it was pretty moving" she thought to herself, "NO! NO Clara! books are bad and pointless! The characters were never even real!" The poem is drilling in her head and she once again beings to fast walk home through the night.
 
Mrs. Bowles returns home, "Adam, Andrew! I'm home!"... No response. "Adam?" yells Mrs. Bowles. "MOM! Shut up I'm watching the 'family' right now!". Mrs. Bowles shrugs it off. "Andrew?". "Mom. I don't need to hear when you are home, I am 17 and I don't care, I can take care of myself". Clara bursts into tears hearing this. She shrieks "YOU ALL REALLY DO HATE ME" she collapses. "That stupid poem did this! Guy Montag did this! The Quo DID THIS! My family doesn't love me, my family isn't happy with this life, we are missing something! We need something! We need change!" Mrs. Bowles claims.
