It's funny after finishing the novel and thinking about the characteristics the novel has, Lev--the one character I disliked--was the character that had the most change. He starts out as this annoying goody-to-shoes who is sacrificing himself for God. But then when he's taken and realizes his pastor wants him to run away he starts to have a midlife crisis. But in the end he is the one character who has a climax and a conclusion. He could either clap, or save the people he cares about. It was just interesting to me that the one character that wasn't the most viewed protagonist and I'm guessing least liked, was the most interesting and intricate of characters. Besides having the dystopia theme of technology as destruction and war, it also had a huge theme of deciding between right and wrong. which are huge themes and I think so important for teens. Dystopia novels show teens that they can make a difference in the world and are important. What they do with their future decides how our world goes. Their decisions are huge and dystopia books show students what they don't want to become. That's what happens every time I read a dystopia book, I think "Shit I really hope that never happens. That would be horrible." It creates action in a more subtle way. This is why I think teens also would like this book. It is intriguing. Abortion is a huge topic and this book brings it up the idea of getting this happy medium between pro life and pro choice and how it got so intense. Obviously we are not even close to the same spot the people in the book were during the new war (thank God) but it is still a huge issue. This book answers the question, "what would happen if both pro life and pro choice had a happy medium." There are so many questions to ask but this is the one I think it biggest in the book.
My Grade for this book is an A- by the end
