‘ing relationship to tug on the reader’s heart strings is a very common theme in many pieces of literature, and we see it very prominently in Insurgent. Veronica Roth frequently uses pathos to show hope in Insurgent. Whether it be using a love story or putting a popular character in danger, Roth creates a stir of emotions through her use of words. Roth uses pathos, ethos, and logos to create feelings and logical thoughts about the scene and the plot in The readers head. Stay tuned for my opinion on the whole trilogy.Insurgent essay 1021 Insurgent Insurgent by Veronica Roth is a very interesting novel that puts forth many different emotions. I remember finishing that novel and saying to myself – I have to get Insurgent right now! The feeling is not the same here, but as I have Allegiant sitting next to me, I’ll probably read it next. This was an engaging novel, but in my opinion it just didn’t have the same pizzaz as the first novel, Divergent. The Red Queen by Isobelle Carmody comes to mind or 2094 for other similar novels if you want a more fantasy or adult slanted novel to read.

Every author seems to want to jump into dystopian fiction (with all honesty, Roth was one of the first, given that Divergent was made into a movie released in 2014).

The ending of this novel is a real surprise, but given other novels I have read, not that surprising after all. I also didn’t feel very attached to the characters that died, and I think I wouldn’t have blinked too much if Tris herself was killed. Also, there is very little information for the reader to come to their own conclusions about traitors or not. This is a plot driven novel, you won’t really find much character development here. The same goes for the rest of the characters – talking is a good thing, people! This frustrated me at times because it meant that the perspective was very limited from Tris and I thought there was so much more about this world that I could have enjoyed if I had been given a chance. Tris seems to lack a survival instinct, as well as an ability to actually communicate with people! So much drama could have been avoided by ‘using her words’. She has her trusty Tobias by her side – but is there anyone else she can trust? Even as she protects others with her selflessness, Tris doesn’t know what to do next. Tris has broken free from Dauntless and come into her own as a Divergent.
