The Selection Series by Kiera Cass Review/No spoilers.



     
      
         
       Oh my glob, these books are amazing. Never before did I think I'd adore a book on its views of people, politics, and love with a cover like that. Proves to not judge a book on it's cover.
       The Selection Series is by Kiera Cass, and I know it is kind of late to start on the series, but I heard that it was good, I started reading it, and it is pretty good. So, let's get started withe the review.
       So, this book is basically about America(a girl named America, you'll find out when you read it) who is enlisted into the Selection, it is almost like a competition for Prince Maxon's hand in marriage. 35 girls are entered, but only one would win.
       The idea is very good, and it is not like the evil lovey puppy books that throw it in your face, but it takes time, trying to make you think. The first book sets up this world, and the world that America lives in. It sets up the characters in a good way.
       But, in the Elite, the second book, (curse word) gets real. Politics, royalty, and loyalty are kind of put into the test. We get exposed to a rebellion going on within the land. And, then we have to put up with suspense.
       The One, is basically a finale that fits well, and there is two sequel books to the series, I need to read those next. Now, onto the characters!
       America is an exceptional main character. At some points she is the one we'd root for, but at times she just makes me sorry for the prince. She just is all over the place. I believe America has a will force, and is easy to relate to, but sometimes I want to strangle this girl and say "MAKE UP YOUR MIND, PLEASE!!!"
      The other contestants are rather good, and I started rooting for one girl in the Elite to get the crown, but then something happens that makes me cry inside. You know that preppy girl trope in books, especially in contests, well they clear that up with two characters and that made me really happy in the inside.
       Next is Prince Maxon, who I consider the secondary main character. This guy, is my favorite prince. The other princes in media and in books don't get that much character arcs, so this is a great change.
       To put it simply, he is awesome.
        I can't really talk about the other characters, because then that would spoil the book. So, that is my review on the Selection Series, I hope you enjoy this review, and that you think about reading it.

“We must live, and when this is all over, we must work to make the world a better place. And if we die, we will die knowing that it was not our fault, that we did our best, and we can go to our deaths in dignity… I want you both to live…And to remember...You must choose love. Always choose love.”                   This was an excerpt from Daniel's Story , a book that my class is reading on the topic of the Holocaust, and this is the quote about love, something very dire and strict nowadays. A loving person can come in many forms or shapes, it can come in my imagination of someone who will listen, it can be a thought of love that has taken shape in your mind, and it can be all the other things that people may believe.                    What I am told to write about today is of someone in my life who has chosen love, whether they are in the movie or in real life. It will be hard to pick...

Well, this is a problem that I'd like to say. I'm sick.                               You would think that someone with an illness would be taken care of, yet I feel not being taken care of.

My graduation speech

(I am about to graduate from middle school, and we got an assignment to post a speech on our blogs, so here!)             Here we are, getting ready to go to high school. We are all now looking behind in the past while still looking at the future. Planning on what we are going to do with our lives. But, I have just one message to tell you that involves to everyone in this room. Make something new. If this is the one thing that you remember about me, that would be great.            In this world that we are living in today, people tell us multiple times that we should get some sort of job that we hear constantly. When we ask their reasoning behind it, they say, "It has the best payment," or "You will have a good life." The people that want to have these jobs are excited to hear this, but the others? We should all know that we are not going to live forever that we are all going to die one day. There are two types of people, t...
