The book I read is The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey. The novel takes place in a modern but dystopian United States where aliens have taken over Earth.

The aliens attacked in 4 waves: an EMP bomb, natural disasters, a plague, and alien assassins. Cassie has survived all of them and is trying to make it on her own.

Finally, Cassie had little-to-no human contact before she was shot in the leg and saved by Evan Walker but she still did not hesitate to kiss him, cuddle, fight, or anything that a normal couple would do. After fighting with each other, “Evan Walker kisses me. Holding my hand against his chest, his other hand sliding across my neck…” Despite Cassie being shot in the leg by an unknown shooter, aliens trying to take over the Earth, her brother being taken, and her family being dead, she is still a teenage girl who enjoys male interaction.

In the beginning of the novel, a large alien ship appears in the sky and begins to cause catastrophes known as ‘waves’.

Cassie, her father, and her younger brother Sam have decided to leave their home and look for refuge somewhere else. They find a camp of survivors, and her and her father are being questioned separately by the leaders of the camp. I chose to annotate page 59 because it gives important information on Cassie’s personality and the overall theme

Cassie Sullivan’s family spends all three of the waves in their house surviving until her mom gets the Red death disease and she dies and then her dad decides to bury her in the back yard say good bye and pack up their things and move to this safe camp that they have heard rumors about. Cassie her dad and her brother Sammy all make it to the camp, but the first few couples of nights that they spend there everything is okay but on the fourth night a helicopter arrives and scopes out the little base and all the people and kids inside pack up their things and get all excited and fill with hope. The next day the same people come back with tanks, school buses and military soldiers. The school buses are full of dirty pudgy faced children that are all smiling and happy. The military soldiers come and debrief the people in charge of the safe base and tell them that some of our military has survived from the attacks and that there is a lot more survivors than what people thought.

Crocker, and her brother. When Cassie and Little Man were in school, they were given books that were used already by white kids. They were old, and dirty. There was a name that was used in the books, that offended the Logan kids. Little Man asked for new books, but Ms. Crocker gave him a switch. Cassie stood up for her brother, and got switched too.

Both Cassie and Little Man were yelled at and beaten just for bringing up that they didn’t think it was right. Cassie backed up her brother and learned from the experience that even blacks at her time took part in the racism without trying, just because they were used to

Cassie proves her courage by standing up for her brother Little Man when he said that he didn’t want the book.
