In the book, Celestine is gradually starting to induce changes in beliefs in some of the people around her. One person affected by Celestine is Pia Wang. In the beginning of the book, Pia was someone who always followed the rules and was like Crevan's puppet. However, now she's on Celestine's side and is trying to help her defeat Crevan. Pia told Celestine that she has fans, such as a "new journalist," named Lisa Life. It turned out that Pia was Lisa Life and she admired Celestine because she was a brave hero. This is a drastic change from the beginning of the book because Pia hated her back then. I believe that Celestine will inspire many more people of the community and, eventually, take down Crevan and the Guild

"God is far greater than me, Flawed, but if you repent, I might relent." Since he is not a Flawed citizen, Logan feels such an intense, greater power over Celestine. He is entitled and feels personally attacked by Celestine's flawedness for whatever reason. In this scene, he compares himself to God by demanding that Celestine admit her errors and beg him for forgiveness which is completely diminishing to her. He has no right to act so powerful over her and yet he is able to because she's so vulnerable in the moment.

In the beginning of the book Celestine didn't have to worry about what people thought of her unless she did something horrible. So she never had to mentally put herself in a place so she could keep herself strong and motivated. Even when Celestine was flawed she only cried and worried about what was going to happen, but since Bosco had her back (at least when she thought he did) she didn't have to keep herself strong because she had support. But then once everything went downhill for her and she was getting branded was when we could see her true strength. She did whatever she could to not scream or show weakness in her while getting branded because she didn't want the guild or Bosco to think that they got what they wanted from her. So all she had was the strength inside of her, and being strong was the only thing she could do because she had no other choice.

The character's reputations within their society are a main aspect of their lives. They care extremely about how others see them, what people think, and how people's opinions will effect them. Celestine had been viewed as perfect. Perfect daughter, perfect friend, perfect member of society. But after one mistake, her image was completely turned around. Art and Ewan acted like they didn't even know her anymore. She was still the same person but because their society conditioned them to think a certain way, the people closest to her were now somewhat against her. Normal people become social pariahs by doing one act, that they may see as morally right, that goes against what their society has become. They are ousted by their peers and have their reputations ruined because the government holds them to a higher standard of perfection.

Theme: Always treat everyone fairly and equally

One way this theme is displayed is in chapter 31, where Celestine is discriminated against by her teachers and peers at school. When Celestine tries to sit next to Colleen Tinder during lunch, Colleen says, "Are you really this desperate? Where were you two weeks ago? Why didn't you ask me then? Of course you were too selfish to even say hi to me then" (page 154). This shows how when Celestine used to be "perfect" and not Flawed, she didn't treat Colleen as she would've treated her before her mom had been ruled as Flawed. Now that Celestine is a part of the people who are discriminated against, she realizes how hurtful it feels to be left out.

"Crevan's red robe is the same color as the scar on my hand, and I'm guessing as my foot, chest, and temple. My blood is on his robe. He did this to me. Him. I feel nothing but disgust for him. I used to think that I couldn't be afraid of someone so human. Now I realize it is his humanity that scares me the most, because despite having all those traits, having shared the moments we've shared, he could still do this to me. Now I find him terrifying. I see the evil in him" (page 122). This quote is very impactful because it displays the change and realization of Judge Crevan's personality to everyone. The fact that Crevan's robe is the same color as the scars on Celestine is significant because it conveys how he is the main antagonist. Celestine realizes that the person who she thought was humane turned out to be evil. She just never realized this from another perspective.

"...if you could trap anger in a jar, this is what you would hear each time you twisted the lid." this quote shows just how worked up all the citizens become over a Flawed trial. They become angry at the person on trial or angry at the ruling; many are affected by one single person's "mistakes".

Throughout Ch.21-27 Celestine goes through multiple changes. We see her start of as the perfect girl of society and later change into a defiant rebel of the guild. Celestine's changes made a large impact on me because in the beginning I couldn't relate to her or the society she lived in because of the perfections she had, but as she grew as a character, I began to understand her more and I was able to relate to her, because she was becoming herself and wasn't the perfect girl of society anymore.

I feel as though the pace of the text is rather fast, things are continuing to happen right after each other. While this seems somewhat unrealistic, it keeps me more interested and makes me want to read further into the story because all the action is interesting. I was uninterested when the characters were just having dinner, but once the sirens went off my attention was grabbed, I have continued to be somewhat engaged in the plot.

I think that Celestine will realize that it's more beneficial to stand up for herself by telling the truth and going against the Guild and the society it created. Celestine's granddad tells her, "...The tide is changing, and whether you wear the branding of the Flawed or you walk out of here a free woman, you'll never be the same girl you were" (page 90). I predict that this quote will inspire Celestine to do the right thing. -Sylvia

Celestine still tries to be the perfect girl even after being told that she is on her way to be flawed.Her perfection lets everyone else play games with her. It gets a bit frustrating reading about how she's perfect and can't break any rule but when her granddad comes to meet her, there is a turning point. Her granddad doesn't have as large of an influence yet, but the words he states and the proof he gives will probably get Celestine thinking. Even though Celestine might not change as a person immediately, I predict that later in the book her granddad's words will have an effect on her and will change her point of view of the flawed system abruptly. -Ramandeep

"We are to be held up to the rest of the world as a mirror of their worst nightmares. Scapegoats for all that is wrong in their lives." The flawed are used as examples, put on display for others to be scared into acting the "right" way. -Jackie

the shortness of chapter 18 adds to the fact that celestine is overwhelmed and confused about her situation and why she is being forced to stay in the cell. She just wants for this trial to be over so she can go home to Art. -Jackie
