The Selection By Kiera Cass: An Analysis

I love this passage from the selection because it says how you Shouldn’t judge people by their cover because on the inside they might be the person you never thought they’d be. This passage Also says that everyone should deserve the best just like America thinks Maxon deserved to have someone to love in his life Even Though America thought

In the book, The One by Kiera Cass, the main character, America, changes throughout the story due to the choices that she has to make between the guy who she has known her whole life or the prince she meets while joining the selection.

During the whole story, it talks about how the girls in the Selection face suspense because they aren’t sure what will happen next , or who Maxon is leaning towards. After the girls made a conclusion on where they stand in the Selection, it impacts another suspenseful moment. Who will get kicked out next? In the perspective of a reader reading this book this is seen as a cause and effect situation . For example, for every girl that is eliminated from the Selection must have done something to provoke Prince Maxon. That leads to the remaining of the girls and on pins and needles so they won’t be next ones eliminated. To introduce the characters, Kiera Cass shows that the readers could know more about each character without having them fully introduced. For instance, a good example would be how people can easily tell the personality of Celeste because of what America and the other girls have said behind her back. But truly the author was giving more information about the personalities the different girls have in a silent but directed

This book is about the final girls in the selection who are fighting for the spot of being Maxons wife. In this journal I would be predicting if America or kriss will be marrying Maxon. First off I predict that America will be marrying Maxon. I think America will be marring Maxon because at the Halloween Ball, Maxon said that he is going to be marrying America. He even had a toast to his “future wife” and as he was saying it he looked at America and gave her a wink. Maxon also showed only America the princess room. He did not show anyone else besides her. When the rebels last came, America was outside. So when she saw them, she ran in to the woods and got lost. Maxon was worried sick about her and not knowing where she is. As soon as America got checked in to the hospital, Maxon went to go and see her right away. But I also predict that Kriss will be marring Maxon. I think Kriss will be the one marring Maxon because he has been spending a lot of time with Kriss. He even siting by her during the meals. For every Party, Maxon always asks Kriss for the first dance. Maxon said that he does not want to send Kriss home but he also does not want to send America home. I predict that America will be the one marrying Maxon because of all the things he has said/promised her and the way he has acting around

In the book The Elite, America faces several struggles with herself. One of those struggles was deciding who she would rather spend the rest of her life with Maxon. Or Aspen.Throughout the story America had several mixed thoughts about who she was in love with. One day she would be head over heals for Maxon. And the next day she would be in love with Aspen. America also had several thoughts about quitting The Selection.

Since the dawn of time, women have been judged based on their looks. In today’s society, women who are conventionally beautiful are seen as less capable than the rest of the population, especially men. As a girl in today’s society, I’ve been judged based on my looks since the day I was born. Every woman on television, in movies, or in magazines is harshly photo shopped to fit the standards society has set for physical beauty. When you grow up in that sort of environment, you have no say in whether or not that affects you. Orual, Redival, and Psyche are experiencing the same situation in Till We Have Faces by C.S. Lewis. In their own ways, each girl’s thoughts and action were determined solely be the world’s impression of them.

During the summer break, I read The Selection by Kiera Cass. In this dystopian novel, America Singer enters to win every girl’s dream, the hand in marriage of Prince Maxon, but at first, all she wants is to be with her secret boyfriend Aspen; she soon realizes the pros and cons of becoming a princess.

Artists and Performers; including stage actors, classical musicians, singers, dancers, photographers and circus performers. In The One, Maxon confesses that he would be a photographer and therefore would be a Five with America, if he wasn't a prince. America's family (Shalom, Magda, Kota, May, and Gerad) were Fives. America's older sister, Kenna, was formerly a Five before marrying James, a Four, and becoming one herself. America was also formerly a Five before entering the Selection and becoming a Three, later one winning and becoming a One.

America Singer in The Selection is forced to move on when her love shows her that he is not going to do whatever it takes to make things right. “I’m leaving. I’m going home. I’m sorry I did this to you, America. It’s over now” (The Selection 52). Conversely, Eadlyn Schreave in The Crown is an aspiring character that starts off as an independent woman and slowly finds her love; one who she does not let slip through her fingers.

A quote in the selection that shows how America is wanting to leave is, “There was no freedom in this. The bars of my balcony caged me in and I could still see the walls around the palace high with guards atop the points. I needed to be outside the palace” (Cass 117). America feels like the castle is a cage and it isn't like her home. She wants to leave and get out of the palace. The difficult decision she had to make is if she wants to be committed to her family and stay or get out of the cage and go home. Another quote that shows that America needs to be committed and try to become princess is, “‘I need to be here. My family needed me to be here. Even if you could let me stay a week that would be a blessing for them’. “ You mean you need the money?’”( Cass 129). America needs to be at the palace to help her family financially but she doesn't want to be in the ‘cage’ for long. So, America doesn't want to be princess but she still has to be committed to the selection so she can help her family stay on their feet. In the beginning of the book America hates the thought of going into the selection even if it did help her family she just wanted to be happy with Aspen, but at the end of the book she is continuing in the selection not only to be happy with someone but to help her family say financially

“35 girls. 1 crown. The competition of a lifetime” (Cass). Kiera Cass’ The Selection tells us the story of America Singer and how she falls in love with both Aspen Leger and Prince Maxon. The Selection is a contest to find Prince Maxon a wife, and 35 girls get the amazing opportunity to try and win his heart. For most girls this is a dream come true, but for America this is her dreaded nightmare. This is a good series to read because it has a connection to Ancient Japan’s feudal system and its message that relationships are complex.

The personality of Maxon Schreave is polite, caring, and empathetic. Throughout the book, Maxon Schreave always seems to try to not only put others before himself, but also make sure that they are happy, this is what makes Maxon so polite. On page 113, America Singer is upset. Despite America insulting Maxon, Maxon never makes a rude remark, but he makes sure that she is doing well and even asks her if she would like him to send her home. Along with being polite, Maxon always makes sure that each and every guest in his home is happy, even if it causes him some trouble. The caring part of Maxon's personality is shown on page 128. This is when America is talking to the prince about whether or not she loves him, while deciding that she does not

Hard headed 17 year old, America singer is the main character in the book “The Selection” by Kiera Cass. Throughout the book you discover all different kinds of traits that she has and how much she uses them.

The selection consists of 35 girls trying to win over Prince Maxon’s to be the future king and queen of Illea. When she enters, the competition things get complicated between her and Prince Maxon. The main setting takes place in the royal family’s palace. The castle sets the tone for the story because the author wrote the setting in a way to make you feel like you were there. The details of every little thing throughout the palace made it come to life.

The Selection, a dystopian novel, written by Kiera Cass, takes place in the country of Illéa---a kingdom in need of a princess. For some, the Selection is an opportunity of a lifetime, but for America Singer, it is a nightmare. All she wants is to be with her love, Aspen, but when she is chosen to go to the palace with 35 other girls, to win the heart of Prince Maxon, her life will take a turn even she didn’t expect. A message that flows throughout the entire story, is you may not even realize what your definition of love is, until the right person is there to show you.
