    Dystopian And Survival In Cassie's The 5th Wave

    Every dystopian book has a purpose, in which characters can be affected and most make sacrifices. Such sacrifices are to strengthen them to seek for something or someone. In Cassie’s case, survival was the main motive. Survival skills were needed in order to persist the disaster caused by the waves in order to find her brother. But what mainly makes a book dystopian is the power that one group has over society as a whole. In The 5th Wave, the Aliens and the army have full control of the entire population which remains alive. The others (aliens) had full control when the waves stroke. Their purpose was to eliminate humanity, although not everyone died. On the other hand, the army took control of the youngest population, (including teenagers…

    Aliens In Rick Yancey's The 5th Wave

    Aliens coming to earth is a topic constantly being used for books and movies, from the full out war for survival in Independence Day, to the cute aliens who didn’t mean any harm in Home. “Forget about flying saucers and little green men and giant mechanical spiders spitting out death rays. Forget about epic battles with tanks and fighter jets and the final victory of us scrappy, unbroken, intrepid humans over the bug-eyed swarm. That’s about as far from the truth as their dying planet was from our living one. The truth is, once they found us, we were toast. (page 2)” Rick Yancey uses this statement in his novel The 5th wave to create an original approach on an alien invasion.…

    Gayle Forman's Where She Went

    For example, why doesn’t Adam like being a huge star? Wouldn't anyone want that? I believe that Adam is not happy with his new life because, his new life doesn’t have Mia in it. He’s sad and lonely without her. He feels very diffident in this life. “...feels like I’m already all on my lonesome. Me alone in a soundproof booth” (Forman 9). Second, why did Mia breakup with Adam? Why did she just one day stop talking to him? I think she just cut him off one day because, it was hard for her to deal with the past and relive what happened to her. Finally, why is Shooting Star (Adam’s band) against him? Why is the band essentially not together? I think their not together or not friends because Adam was the star of the band. Their were jealous of him and what he had. Overall the reader can produce many questions. Besides evaluating and questioning the novel, the reader can also predict what could happen…

    Winter was just starting in Mississippi so the sun wasn’t shining that much. But all I was glad about was that Cassie learned her place in the world, (ya know cause she's a little black girl). A couple days ago down in Strawberry Cassie bumped into me. I told her to get off the sidewalk but she wouldn’t so my daddy had to step in and push her off. But when her grandmother comes she makes her apologize to me. It felt good when she said Miz Lillian Jean instead of just Lillian Jean. Me, Cassie and my little brother Jeremy were walking home on sunny day and Cassie was carrying my book down on past the railroad tracks.

    The 5th Wave Review

    The 5th Wave Review

    They had one goal. To wipe out all humans and take over our planet. The first wave that came through was an EMP that fried any electronic equipment. All the planes flying in the air crashed, all the cars driving stopped. the whole world came to a standstill. This took out about half a million people. The second wave took out all the coastal cities and the people who live there when they dropped a huge slab of metal onto one of the largest faults on the planet, causing massive earthquakes and huge tsunamis. The third: an avian virus that wipes out 99 percent of the remaining population. The fourth: involving "Silencers," humans who were implanted years ago with an "alien" gene while still in their mothers' wombs. These Silencers look and seem human, yet are actually programmed to kill any remaining humans. The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey takes the first person perspective of Cassie, one of the last remaining humans on earth. As she resists the aliens who try in every way to kill her, she loses her entire family. Suddenly, she is shot by a Silencer and is trapped beneath a car, bleeding to death. Evan Walker, the Silencer who shot her then finds her, first trying to kill her, but then revealing himself to be one of the few aliens who originally voted to not use violence against the human inhabitants. He overcomes the alien’s consciousness and helps protect and heal her as she struggles to find her little brother, Sammy. Cassie has two goals: to stay alive, and to rescue Sammy, who has been sent to what is supposedly a refugee camp, but which actually is a paramilitary program where he will be taught to kill. The advice I would give the main character is to stay low, stay hidden, and take out the government one at a time. The oppressive government is the aliens who faked being military leaders and other positions in power in order to take power over the now nearly extinct Homo sapiens.…

    Critical Response Fahrenheit 451

    The novel “Farenheit 451” written Ray Bradbury between 1950 and 1953 is thought provoking novel which raises important concerns about what the future may hold. Predominantly told through the eyes of the protagonist Guy Montag Bradbury warns humanity of a future containing mind manipulation, abuse of technology and heavy government censorship. The purpose of this book is clearly to warn society of the path we are headed to if we continue to value new technology over knowledge by showing us “that although knowledge can cause disharmony, knowledge of the past can help prevent man from making similar mistakes in the future”. The title “Fahrenheit 451” is significant to the book because it represents the temperature at which books ignite. Since the events of the book are centered around the burning books, which is the ultimate form of censoring, the title “Fahrenheit 451” is representative of the heat, temperature of the burning books.…
