Reached

by Allie Condie

     While reading my book Reached, I have come to realized that the Rising is not playing games at all. The Rising has already invaded into Society because the Plague has set loose into the cities of Society. The Plague has reach many, and the people were dying before the Rising came in with the cure that helped many. But, the misfortune that Xander has found is that the Plague has mutated which means the previous cure they had will be no longer be effective. Everybody is in danger even the ones who already had the disease. Cassia has made a Gallery where people share, poems, song, and stories that the archivists in trading say are worthless since they aren’t antique. Since Society has been overthrown people gather here, one Archivists warns Cassia of the rumored Plague mutation and that they should be careful in the gatherings. Cassia does not believe of the mutation, and keeps going to the gatherings.

    The character in the book Ky was against the Rising, but now he is working in the Rising working as a pilot delivering cures into the cities. Ky did not like the Rising, and was helping Cassia try to find them only because he loves her. But, when Ky found a map to the Rising he did not tell Cassia because he did not want to go and he did not want her to go. Cassia found Ky about to burn the map, stopped him, and shouting at him that he was taking a choice she wanted to make away from. Ky joined the Rising for Cassia because he didn’t want to lose her again. I believe that Ky is doing this against his own thoughts is for the strong love Ky has for Cassia, and possibly even risk his own life for her.

   So far, in my book titled 'Reached' the conflict seems to be rising sooner than expected. As I started the book I realized how everything was going pretty fast Xander, and Cassia are living within Society gaining information from the society, and working with The Risings orders. I learned that Xander switches the the tablets that are given to babies from Society to tablets the Rising has given. Cassia is meant to give Society information as well as to sort incorrectly. Ky, and Indie work within the Rising for it. Each one of them questions if the beginning of the rebellion is in action because of the signs they see. A sickness is going through Society which isn't normal as well as the Match Banquets going wrong. The beginning of the Rising is happening.
      Cassia's character is pretty fearless, and the reason why I see this trait in her is the position she puts herself in. She joined the Rising and persisted that Ky did as well she wanted to be a part of the rebellion knowing the consequences it could bring to her. First off she had to get out of Society who "knows everything" they have Official everywhere any suspicions about her would quickly get her into trouble. But she got her way out. Finding the Rising was not so easy they had to go through very difficult areas not even knowing if the Rising was actually there. Now she works in Society for the Rising it could be easy for Society to stop her if they knew but Cassia does not fear of what happens. Cassia wants a rebellion,

Goal Setting Blog

Goals

    The academic goal I have this year is to have more strategies while I work in class. Strategies I could have are asking more questions, more mental math, and focus more. How I could work with asking questions is every time something is difficult like a certain topic I could ask the teacher or someone who understands the topic specific questions. For using mental math I could study problems and work them out without the calculator and memorize the problems. The last strategy I want to have is to be focused and in class I could practice by listening to teacher and finishing work right away as I am focused.

   The personal goal I am trying to achieve is being mature. The steps I can take to accomplish this personal goal is to talk less and not interrupt people as they are speaking. I could get rid of doing childish actions in school as well as out of school. Another thing that can improve my maturity is saying less childish things to others and every time I do I will not speak for two minutes,
