Divergent Trilogy Part 2

"I know. The test didn't work on you." Tori replied, "You just have to trust your gut."

Hi guys I'm here to finish of the first few chapters.

The next day is choosing day. At choosing day you take a knife and in pail your self with it and drop your blood into the faction that you choose. Erudite is clear water. Amity is dirt. Abnegation is smooth stones. And Dauntless is burning coals. And Candor is glass.

Beatrice and Caleb line up with the other faction members in order from last name that starts with Z to A. When Marcus Eaton, the mayor of the town, steps up he calls the name of all the 16 year old boys and girls.

"Prior, Caleb" Marcus says.

And Caleb steps forward, takes the knife and cuts himself and drops his blood into the Erudite bowl. Clapping begins. As you know Erudite and Abnegation are enemies.

"Prior, Beatrice." Marcus says

Then it is Beatrice's turn. She walks up to the stand takes the knife and thinks to herself: I'm sure I will choose Abnegation. If Caleb wasn't fit for Abnegation than neither am I. But I have to do this for my parents. I have to! But I can't. She puts the knife to her hand cuts herself and lets the blood accidentally drop on the floor, but with a gasp moves to the Dauntless bowl and lets her blood sizzle on the coals. I am selfless, I am brave. she thinks to herself.

After the ceremony is done the Dauntless push her out the doorway and to the stairs. I thought Abnegation were the only ones who take the stairs. But I guess not. They rush down the stairs and to the train tracks and climb to the top of the ledge and wait for the train. She feels a rumble under her feet and then Beatrice looked up and saw a train speeding toward her and the other Dauntless members. But the train didn't stop. Beatrice saw that the other Dauntless members and inanities were starting to run along with the train. She starts to run along with them then all of a sudden, one Dauntless members start jumping on tho the train while it is still moving. Beatrice is is getting closer to the end of the platform. She grabs on to the train and let's it drag her to the edge but then she swings her legs up on to the train and in the car. When she finally catches a breath the girl beside her says, "Welcome aboard. I'm Cristina from Candor. Now is just me or are they trying to kill us?" She laughed at her own joke. Then Beatrice said, "I'm Beatrice, nice to meet you Christina."

Thanks for dropping by again to read a little bit more of Divergent.

Divergent trilogy

The Divergent Trilogy is a very good book series that I am about to tell you about.

DIVERGENT 

There was once a war that destroyed the whole world and one city survived, it was Chicago.

After the war the founders of the city decided to build a wall to protect the city from the reaming things outside of the wall from the war. 

The City's founders also decided to divided the city into five groups these groups are called Factions. One of the Factions is Erudite. Erudite people know everything, they are the scientists of the faction groups. Amity is focused on kindness. they are the peacekeepers of the city. They are also farmers on the outside of the wall. Candor is the truthful faction. They tell the truth even when you don't want them to. Abnegation is helpful to the poor(faction-less) they are also the governing faction because they are devoted to being helpful. Dauntless are the protectors of Chicago. The other factions think that they are the crazy people of the city. They are always climbing on buildings bridges.

Beatrice Prior is the main character in the series. She is in the Abnegation faction along with her family, Andrew Prior, Nattily Prior and Caleb Prior. when you turn 16 you have to take a aptitude test to see what faction you belong in, weather you stay with your parents in there faction of go on to another faction. even of you don't want the faction that you would be most good at you can pick different. so when Beatrice goes into her aptitude test she is surrounded by herself. then one of herself says "Choose." and there is a knife or meat. and she says, "Why?" but then she is sounded by dogs that look ready to eat her. The dog lunges for her she throws it down. Then the dog goes again but Beatrice kneels down and the dog turns to a puppy. Then there is a girl there who is admiring the puppy but then the puppy is a hungry dog again and runs after the girl. So Beatrice gets up and runs after the dog and jumps on top of it and sinks into the floor. But this time there are no mirrors and no dogs. but she is on the bus. There is a Candor man sitting next to her with a milk carton with a picture on the back of a man that seems familiar to her. The Candor man ask's if she knows who he is. but she dose and she says "No I do not know who that is." and he replies, "Don't you lie to me." and Beatrice says "I'm not lying!" even though she was. then the next thing she knew was she was in the room again with the girl who was giving her the aptitude test, Tori. She said, "Get up." and Beatrice says, "What was my result? Tell me my Result!" "You didn't have just one result. You had three." Tori said. "Erudite, Abnegation and Dauntless." "How is that possible... That's not possible." Beatrice said. "It's not Impossible... It's just extremely rare. They call it Divergent." Tori replied. "But the test was supposed to tell me what to choose!" Beatrice said.

And Next Time I might Finish it. but thanks for dropping.   

Star Fall

I just finished a book called Star Fall by Michael Cadnum(this is a greek myth so if you don't like greek myths this probably isn't the book for you). It's about the son of Apollo(the greek sun god) and the son of a mortal who's name is Phaeton. Phaeton is really fast but this is not enough, his father pays no attention to him(at least that's what he thinks) and the local towns people are starting to doubt that he is actually Apollo's son. So Phaeton decides to go on a journey to the gates of heaven at the end of the world wear his fathers castle lays. As he is traveling there he is gifted with the power to be as fast as the wind so he makes it to the end of the world in no time. When he gets to his fathers castle his father is so exited to see him that he promises to grant one wish whatever he wishes. So Phaeton decides that he wants to drive the chariot of the sun(AKA the sun). His father who swore that he would do whatever he wishes has to allow his son to drive the chariot, even though the horses who pull the chariot are much to strong for any mortal to control. Phaeton tries anyway, he ends up losing control and setting flame to the world but, Jupiter the god of the sky sends a rain to wash away the fire and kills Phaeton living his ashes in the river.

Brother going to prom

I just found out that my brother asked someone to prom and i said" i thought you were not going to prom." I just can't wait till he has to get all dressed up and go to a dance. I think he is going to look so funny and all my family is going to have to fix him up so he looks nice and find a car to use or ask my grandma if he can use her Camaro  witch would be so shocking because he is a country  boy and he has a truck. So who knows what he is going to do.

The Ally

Last weekend me and my family went to this thing called the Ally. The Ally has go carts, bowling, laser maze,pool table and pizza and drinks.  My favorite part was the go carts. I didn't bowl because I LOVED the Go-Carts and the laser maze! It was so fun 

First Scholars Bowl Meet

     Our first Scholars Bowl Meet was on Tuesday and I was on the team to compete in it! I was really excited and nervous. When we got on the bus Amala and I did some would you rather questions to pass the time. When we got to Hillsboro, both the 7th grade and 8th grade teams filed into what I think was the lunchroom. Then, we all got cookies even if some of us weren't competing. 
     The first team we went against was Haven. They only had 2 people on their team, while we had five. The score was 10 to 80. We won the first round and went to a different room to compete against Halstead. At first, I thought we had a chance of losing because Halstead had a pretty good team, but they were nothing compared to Smokey Valley. Luckily, we won against Halstead and Smokey Valley and had our break.
       During the break, we found out that we got into the semifinals and were competing with Smokey Valley for first place. Whoever got 2 out of 3 rounds was the winner. The first round was close, we won by five. The second round was also close, we lost by five. By this point I was nervous that we would lose. The last round would determine who would win first place. We had a rocky start because of an interruption we started out with -5, but then we made our come back. It was 20-90! We won in a landslide. My first Scholars Bowl Meet was really fun and I hope I can compete in the next one.

Inspiration

Hey guys!

 I just wanted you all to know that you are special, and smart. Whether you have a big test coming up, or if you have a speech, or maybe just hard homework, don't give up! Here are some tips for studying for a test, of speech, or just class!

• Do all things in moderation: I know studying can be boring, or seem non-useful, but for lots of people, it really helps! So to ease the stress of studying, grab a snack, a drink, and curl up in a comfy corner with lots of pillows and blankets!
• You should also take breaks. My favorite routine is study for 3x as long as your break. So you could study for 15 minutes, then take a 5 minute break, or 30:10. Either way, it makes studying so much more easy!
• Make sure you have everything you need when you sit down. If you keep getting up, it causes you to be off task, and makes your studying less effective.

Good luck!
