I am now currently reading the book Insurgent by Veronica Roth which is the second book in the Divergent series. I just started the book and have gotten to chapter 4 so far. at the end of the last book, Tris lost both her parents who died to save her and she is now on her way to a new faction with her brother and boyfriend, Four. They managed to stop the Revolution by turning off the simulation that everyone was going through but they have no idea what happened when it ended. There could be a war going on where they left.
The three of them are trying to be let in to the new faction so that they can stay there for a few days to try and figure out what to do next. I predict that they will end up going back into the city and trying to stop the leader of the Revolution. They will most likely have to go by Tris and her brother's old faction to save the people hiding there and to gather up more people for an army.

Matt's Free Reading Book
The book that I have been reading independently is Divergent. The real life issues that are reflected in this are when Tris has to become a part of a new society and leave her family's town. She has to become a part of the Dauntless society which makes her have to learn to be much more brave. She has to learn to overcome her fears. These relate to many real life issues when you have to try something new. Tris has to do many things like learn to throw knives and learn to fight but these skills come in handy very much later on in the book.
I would compare Tris to Katniss from The Hunger Games. They are both teenage girls who are trying to change the overpowering world they were born into. Katniss helps to start a revolution of the districts while in Tris's world, there are 5 sectors that people live in but not a overbearing Capitol. The people of her old home made up most of the government and a different sector is about to declare war on them to take over. Tris realizes this and sees that she needs to try and use her new skills to stop the massacre about to happen on her parent's home. Katniss also needs to try and protect her family from the War on the capital. These two characters are actually very similar in the way they act and how they try to change their world.
Who else do you think Tris and Katniss would be similar to?
