Thesis For The 5th Wave

With the multitude of characters and their thought provoking pasts, one can certainly learn much from their perseverance and determination. The rating I would give it would be four and one half out of five. The book itself was delightful and captivating, as well as the intriguing characters, but the tone was sometimes a bit slow and could be a boring to some degree. Any minor characters in this book seemed so much more than one would expect from non-fiction. The characters in general mentioned in this story were often given many descriptive details and did not seem like they were just there for show. They truly aided in helping paint the picture of the students and school, making it seem more like it was like any regular high school. This book was extremely interesting and truly makes one think about how immigration is a serious matter that can turn dangerous at almost any

Could you imagine aliens taking over the world? The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey is science fiction.

I feel that, this novel is a good read for teenagers, because by reading it they can learn to accept there differences and themselfs . In our world today, nobody likes to be different, in fact most people try to change themselves. In the novel, it talks about how Calvin became secofenic. At first when Calvin found out the news , he imedily says that his mental illness was is a death of being normal. In the end Calvin learns to accept himself, and I think that teenagers need to do the same because, in world full of normal people, we need people who stand can out and make a change.

I would recommend this book to an audience of people who like science fiction or people who like adventure or suspense. I recommend this book for those audiences because there is a lot of adventure and traveling. For example, they start in Peru and then go to Texas then japan. There are also kids with electric powers, which is more science fiction. For instance, Michael can absorb and get more power from electricity. This book is very suspenseful so if you like suspense you will like this book, like when they try to stop the trucks, but they don’t think it works at first but then it

It captured my attention from the beginning. I like how the Rand was descriptive words to help me have an image of what was happening in the novel. I like the story line. I like the idea of someone breaking way from everyone else and being different from others. That they are able to think for themselves and that it is ok to be different from others. I also liked how the novel had some romance because I do enjoy romance novels. The Language Police written by Diane Ravitch, I did not quit enjoy the book. I do not really like books like that. I do not recommend this book if you are not interested in how the bias panel chooses stories for children. I do recommend the novel, Anthem. It gives the reader a sense of individualism, there is a story behind

It allows the reader to comprehend the realities of what could happen if adults did disappear. I think that the book portrays the events very accurately to what would happen during this day and era. The children act deprived without their electronics, which for me I know would have similar effects in society now as well. Seeing characters like Mary being forced to take care of the several children that have been left as orphan due to the disappearance. I think this could be very stressful because from personal experience, babysitting just one child is very difficult to take care of much less seventy. Another event that really gave me an emotional connection, was when Lana’s dog is bitten by the coyote and she hugs her dog until she assumes he has passed away. In my experiences in text and media, death of animal makes me very upset, so luckily because of Lana’s healing powers I did not get overly emotional because of a dog’s death. In my opinion, I think my ISU project is progressing well. I have been very diligent in completing the tasks necessary for this project. I personally think that setting myself daily deadline has really helped to encourage myself to stay on track and not leave this to the last minute while prioritizing other classes. Setting myself minimum requirements for each day allowed myself to not feel so overpowered with english work and it gave me a good balance to accomplish

One main reason I chose to annotate this page is that it gives us a lot of important aspects of Cassie’s character. Not only the dialogue shows this, but Cassie’s own thoughts as well. As she is speaking with Brogden, Cassie states that she “did my best to answer Brogden’s questions without popping him with my free hand”. This shows that even though Cassie is speaking with Brogden hoping to join their camp for the safety of her family and herself, she is resistant and untrusting. Brogden asks them why they’re here (at the camp), and Cassie responds, “you mean at this camp, or are you being existential?”. Brogden is confused, and Cassie continues, saying “if you’d asked me that before all this”...”happened, I’d have said something like, ‘We’re here to serve our fellow man or contribute to society.’ If I wanted to be a”...”I’d say, ‘Because if we weren’t here, we’d be somewhere else.’ But since all this”...”has happened, I’m going to say it’s because we’re just dumb lucky”. This shows that she has a mildly sarcastic and snarky side to her personality. Another very important detail we learn from this statement is that even though it’s the ‘apocalypse’, Cassie seems very unafraid and unintimidated by people and situations that most people would panic in. She possesses the ability to poke fun at even the most stressful of

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

Something that I really liked was when luke felt all alone and one day he was just sitting in his room and seen someone and they became the best of friends. Another part of the booked I thought was nice was the relationship between Jen and Luke, they didn't know about it at first, but then their friendship grew stronger and stronger. Something else I liked was how they had to hide away from everyone because of the population police. How he had to survive without any light, sneaking outside and being stuck inside without having a real life. It was very interesting. Although, there was something I didn't like. I didn’t really like how sometimes in the book there was something I thought was interesting and it didn’t really last long enough or didn’t give much detail. For example, when Luke found out that Jen could do things he couldn’t . The author didn’t really explain it very much. But, other than those types of things, I thought that it was a really good book and I would recommend it to lower level readers and or in the middle type of readers. Those are some things I thought that were good and some things I didn’t like about the

So far, I’m enjoying the novel and am excited to continue reading more. I know how famous this novel is, so I look forward to reading more to understand why it is so famous. The language used in the novel can be a little confusing, but so far most has made sense and the first two chapters provide good background information to our main characters. The relationship between the two main characters reminds me of a parent relationship in George and a small child in Lennie, which at times can be funny. Lennie seems so innocent and harmless and as a reader I feel bad for him because of the way George treats him at times.
