I made a text to self connection as I read this week about Tris taking her first ride in an airplane. As I read, I connected that when I took my first plane ride (two years ago), I also felt how Tris felt. I was nervous, but very excited. I was questioning the ability of the plane at the same time. It amazes me (as it seemed to amaze Tris) that something so heavy and huge had the power to stay flying high up in the sky. And the view you get from that high up is one you never can forget. It gives you a perspective of how big the world really is, as you compare it to your everyday life. 



***SPOILER ALERT*** One crazy part of Allegiant that I read this week was when Tobias was told he isn't Divergent!!! I was so shocked! He had lived up to that title for a long time, and now it has no meaning to who he is. But he should also realize that he is the same person he has always been, with that title or not. I predict that he will realize that he is the same person as I read this next week, but maybe he won't and he'll take this news a different way. 

Another big event happened in the reading this week; Tris received her mother's file to read. Like Tris acted in the book, I wouldn't know what to do with it. I would be so anxious if I waited forever to decide if I should open it or not. I might also be way too excited and just open it right when I got it! The information that could be held inside could be heartbreaking or super fantastic! It will be interesting to find out what is inside!




My link this week is for a goodreads page full of Allegiant quotes:

    Alana,
    I really liked how you made connections from the book to your own experiences. I read this book I while ago so I vaguely remember the events of the plot. It sounds like you're at a very climactic point in the story. I hope you enjoy the rest of the book and continue making predictions and connections!

    You did a really good job writing your blog this week. I like how you made the text to self connection about you on the plane. I remember feeling the same way about planes. Great job with this weeks blog.

    I love this connection! I have always found it interesting people's reaction to being in a plane because I have been in them since I was weeks/months old. I read this book awhile ago and I think that this was a good way to give an update without giving any thing away!
