Rose and Windy started noticing changes in the little convenient store. Douglas the clerk (Rose and Windy call him "the Dud") who works in the convenient store has problems with his girlfriend Jenny. Douglas made Jenny pregnant. First, they were both together and having fun and now their fighting over a baby. Douglas cared but he didn't want to do anything about it, he would just ignore her. When Rose and Windy went to a little village, they saw Jenny working there.
The conflict in the book is man vs. society. All the characters in the book had one thing in common, a baby. Alice (Rose's mother), wanted to have a baby, but she couldn't. Her mother and father would always fight. Rose's mother lost her baby(fertilized egg) in the water on the beach. On page 299 it says, "Last year in the water... I was swimming and I felt the baby. Go." It means her child died in the water. Douglas and Jenny had a big argument too. Jenny never wanted a baby and now she is pregnant. Douglas ignored her, but still cared about her and his future.

This One Summer Blog #1 (Summary& Character Analysis)
Every summer Rose and her family of parents go to Awago Beach where she meets her best friend Windy ever since they were very young. This year was different from every other year, Rose's parents fighting and the clerk Douglas and his girlfriend. With lots of free time Rose and Windy try to get all the details on whats happening to the couples. With Rose's parents she had to get away from whats going on.
I can see that Rose and Windy are really good friends. They have been best summer friends since they were little kids. In the text on page 19 it says, "Windy has been my summer cottage friend since I was five. Her grandma rents a cottage for her and her mom. Windy's one and a half younger than I am." This shows that Rose and Windy have been best friends.

Divergent #8
Where I left off, is when everyone in Dauntless were hypnotized and were forced with the hands of the Erudite leader to murder all the Abnegation civilians. Tris finds out Four is Divergent too. Somehow he is hypnotized, when Eric finds out he is Divergent and was sentenced to kill Tris. Tris figured out a way to stop the hypnotisnm for him and everyone. Tris put a gun on her head and alerted Four to not kill her (Four is afraid of murdering someone who he held dear). Which immediately stopped Four being hypnotized. Next to Tris, the Erudite leader ready to start the simulation. Tris uses her trowing knife and stabbed strait through the arms of the leader. Tris injected the leader with the drug used to command people. Tris forced the Erudite leader to stop the simulation. She saved a numerous amount of people but lost her parents along the way.
Tris changed a lot (I mean ALOT!) in the book. Her personality changed, she made friends, she gotten a lot stronger and became number 1 on the list for the strongest, she even saved a whole fraction from being killed. When the book started, Tris or I can just say Beatrice, she was the shy and quiet one in her family.

The final simulation comes by when all the Dauntless members are injected with a drug from the Dauntless leaders; that was believed for the simulation assessment. The drug that was injected from everyone was a drug made from the Erudite that controls the human body (which they look like their sleepwalking) to assassinate all the Abnegation. Since Tris is a divergent, the drug that the leaders injected to her did not work. Tris pretends to be like the rest of the Dauntless, all walking with silence not knowing whats going on.

Divergent #6
Days later, Tris and the rest of the dauntless begin to do stage two of testing. (Where the syringe needle takes place and sends you to a fake world.) At the end of testing, Tris realized she is number one on the list. Al gets fuss treated and is threatened to kill her with the help of Peter and Drew. They wore masks to protect their identity and we're ready to kill Tris. They dragged Tris somewhere that nobody can see or hear them. All three attacked Tris violently. Four approaches and rescues Tris and takes all three of the masks off and found out who they are. Tris angrily ignores them. Al Is devastated of what he has done and kills himself.
I thought Al was cool, but seriously he was about to kill Tris! Just because she is ranked number one on the list! At least he is surpassing other people who are lower ranked than him. He even killed himself when Triss uncovered the mask revealing his face. He could've apologized Tris for what he has done.

Where I left off, Triss took the flag and swinged it around for victory. At the top of the tower where everyone can see it. After the game, everyone went to have some fun zip-lining! This was the first time Triss has ever been zip lining, she zip lines down from the Hancock building. This helped Triss not to be afraid. Days later a special day arrives, Visiting days! Where parents from their child who moved to another fraction. Triss finds her mom who has been hiding behind some boxes suspiciously. Triss thinks she was born from Dauntless fraction.

Divergent #4
Where I left off, Triss and the rest of the Dauntless fraction goes to a field trip. A trip to the border, but a twist appeared. The game they were about to play is capture the flag, which their weapon was a sting gun, a gun that will sting and descend your opponent for a couple of minuets. Two teams, Team Eric and Team Four, everyone laughed at Triss because she was chosen by Four, when everyone thinks she is the weakling in the intire group. They were proven guilty. With all the training and fighting she did, she knew she will be strong and capture the flag. When the game began, all you would hear was gun shots. Triss pinpointed the flag and secretly sneaked the way there. Out of nowhere an strong opponent which Triss can't beat is right in front of her. Luckily with all the training she did, Triss managed to beat her opponent and capture the flag! With the win, Triss became popular in the Dauntless fraction. Before the game started, Triss found out that Four is afraid of heights when both of them climbed a farris wheel.
