Brief Summary Of The Book 'Legend' By Marie Lu

This book is great for people who enjoy gore, suspense and a little romance. If you love to see good character cooperation and the characters in a lot of life or death situations where you really don’t know if they’ll make it or not this is the book for you. This books also shows that even the underdogs can still make a difference, and that gives us hope in life when there seems to be nothing left. Again if you love gore, suspense and a little bit of romance this is the perfect book for you, you won’t be

One may argue that this book was too long and partly too descriptive in both the storyline and the characters, which made it hard to follow the storyline throughout the book.

Summary: Mike Lupica’s book True Legend takes place in Agoura Hills, Southern California. The main character Drew “True” Robinson a 16 year old basketball phenom at Oakley Academy, he has some troubles along the way, a little romance and makes some new friends. He would love to to go to the NBA.

After reading the book I will say that I enjoyed it a lot more than what I thought I was. I honestly didn’t feel like it had a lot of weaknesses to it. With that being said I felt that the book had a few strengths that stood out about it. One of the first things that stood out about it was the style that the book was written. I felt that it was well written in context and in style. I love the style that he wrote for his chapters. Like most books this book had names in its chapters. I know that doesn’t sound special but I felt like the names of the chapters flowed with what the chapter. I felt when reading the book that I was reading a book within a book because every chapter was a little different in its own way.

The characters bring a riveting story to life when reading. Throughout the book, I felt emotions left and right for the characters and what they were going through. There is a lot of mystery and questioning that will be answered later in the book, but once its done, there are still many questions being asked. when I look for a book, that is something that stands out to me because I really want to read more, and when you have that reaction to a book, that means it was worth reading. I found this book remarkable because of the behaviors, characteristics, and decisions that the characters make, and I recommend this book to everyone, even if they don’t like to

In the book, there were many things that surprised me and challenges my ideas and beliefs on what the government once was and what it is now. I am surprised that the government was more corrupted and twisted. I am also surprised that the government is still like that in some ways. The book challenged my views on the capital justice system. It used to and sort of still is messed up.

What was once known as Western United States is now a newly established Republic, which is currently at war with its neighboring eastern colonies. June, fifteen years old, is being trained amongst the Republic’s highest military force. Day, fifteen years old, is a boy born into the streets who could actually do good. Brought up in two different settings these two teens cross paths when June’s brother Metias is murdered and Day is the main suspect, and Day is hunting for a cure for his family while June seeks vengeance. As the story progresses, June and Day come together to uncover the truth of their Republic and the many secrets they are

All in all, I liked this book a lot. First of all, it was hard to start reading it - there was so many new people and that’s why I was confused a lot. Later in the book, it was hard to stop reading, because the whole book was really interesting. There are short texts throughout the book - they help a lot in some confusing situations. Also, sometimes they explain some stuff more in depth. Overall, I liked this book a lot and I would recommend it to anybody who likes history and breathtaking

In “Legend,” Marie Lu develops her entire plot on one symbolic archetype. This Archetype is Innate Wisdom vs. Educated Stupidity. In Legend, this symbolic archetype shows the relationship between the poor and the rich. The government has total control over the people. Day, from a poor civilian perspective, questions the Republic’s motives. With first-hand experience, Day has “innate wisdom”. June, on the other hand, a high ranking officer in the military, accepts anything that the Republic does. June has no reason to question the Republic, so she is the character with “educated stupidity”. June is unaware of the Republic’s secret doings. Day,

Overall I would recommend this book to others as it is full of twists and characters that you will grow to care about. I do recommend that you read, Legend, first as it will make a couple of big reveals make much more sense. This book is perfect for people my age and probably a couple years younger as it is a young adult novel but people older than me also might enjoy its political themes. Next on my reading list is of course, Champion, the last book in the trilogy by Marie Lu so I can finish

I have now entered the last week of the conclusion of my reading goal of Legend. During this week I have read the last pages, which are 260-305. Day has now started to dream about when he was younger. He dreamed about the time he and his and brother were playing street hockey with a paper ball and he accidentally threw a ball and hit a police officer in the face. The officer then beat Day really bad and didn’t stop until Day’s mom and John offered him their family’s savings, as well as taking the chicken that Day’s mom was preparing for dinner. John then scolded Day for looking at the officer defiantly, as he explained that this is why the police officer acted the way that he did. As time has passed Thomas invited June to a move, and June

an excellent book. One of the most important things I learned from this book is that you can't be too quick to trust someone. There are two parts of the book where I found this. One of them is the time that June tells the Republic about Day’s location when Day trusted June because they had been with each other for a while and had started becoming good friends. Then June tells the republic to go to Day’s house and tells Day to go to his house because they are going to take his brother away. This ends up with Day’s mother being executed so that they can capture Day. When I was reading this it shocked me that June would even tell the Republic because she and Day were falling in

The argument that Marie Lu is making in Legend is to not judge someone based on their background. This relates very well to Day and June who both come from very different backgrounds, but slowly begin to understand each other as the novel progresses. They feel each other's emotions, they interact together, they are nearly identical in their feelings. For example, June and Day are both similar because they are not violent, are very witty/​talented (their skills and intelligence), and they have a soft spot for relationships and especially family relationships. In the end, what separates the citizens of the Republic is where they came from because their government greatly segregates people based on their social status and the people have no say

I like this books style because it was completely different than any other type of book I’ve before. The book didn’t really have a plot but every chapter was informative in their own way. Even though each chapter was very different each one contributed to the main idea. This book has wonderfully solid information that makes it very hard to argue or deny the main idea.

The book I am reading is "All The Light We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr, and I must say,I truly do like this book as of now. I am impressed by how descripive the author is in this book, providing enough detail to create a clear image in my mind while reading. Introduction of characters was really smooth, and the engaging side stories in the book provide interesting information that you probably wouldn't find elsewhere.
