Most Important Line in Chapter 15

            As you probably know, I am reading “Divergent” by Veronica Roth. I have read 180 pages and I am really enjoying it. The plot moves very fast, and a lot of things happen in a short period of time. This is a problem for me because I am one of those people that will just read focused for a long period of time, and then as soon as I put the book down, I cant even remember what I read. That is why I have decided to write down some of the most important lines from each chapter.

            The most important lines from the most recent chapter that I read (Chapter 15) are actually the last three lines in the chapter, they say (SPOILERS), “I stand alone in the blue light coming from the lamp above me, and I understand: She has been to the compound before. She remembered this hallway. She knows about the initiation process. My mother was dauntless (Roth188).” These lines contribute to the movement of the plot because one of the main characters true identities is revealed. This is a huge plot element, and it only takes up four lines. As you can see, this book is very fast paced, which is what I like about it.

            I would have to say after just a short period of time reading this book; Veronica Roth’s writing style is definitely my favorite. I don’t find myself bored, and begging for more. I am always satisfied at the end of every chapter. I will have to start incorporating this fast paced style into my own writing to make it more interesting, and I encourage you to do the same.
