Letter to the Author

  If I wrote a letter to the author of my book Veronica Roth, I would tell her my thoughts and opinions.  The letter would be written similar to the one below.

Dear Veronica Roth,

  Hi, my name is Nate Berman, I am a freshman at Mason High School and I am currently your book "Divergent."  I am almost finished with the book and I really like it.  I like how you have created this futuristic dystopian society that is split up into 5 factions but I do want to know why and what happened to make this society this way.  I also like how you keep the reader such as myself guessing by incorporating lots of suspenseful parts to the story and using some elevated diction throughout the story for example on page 357 when Tris thinks, "My stomach twinges at the thought of him."(Roth pg. 357)  This diction makes the reader be able to picture her stomach twinging and there is more sentences like this throughout the story.  Something I don't like about the book is that you only focus on Tris and you don't show the reader what life in the other factions is like.

  Overall I really like the book and all of the plot twists the most.  I am definitely going to try and read the other books in the series.

                                      Sincerely, Nate Berman

Veronica Roth and the cover of the book.
