The government would think that this is a good society. To them it's probably good that only really smart people succeed and people that are considered to be dumb stay at the bottom. The people who get a good score might be fine with this society. They probably wouldn't have anything against this. The people who get a really good score might love this society. They wouldn't be against it because they got to finish high school and go to one of the top universities. Then have a life of success. It's really likely that they would be happy with the society.

The main character must have rebelled against the Republic to be wanted by the Republic. They don't even know who he is. That's why the want him. Another time the main character rebels is when he wants to get one of the soldiers' guns. His dad had rebelled when he said the Republic had stolen technology from the Colonies. The main character rebelled when he stole food and money.

The main character rebels throughout the entire chapter,. He stays hidden and ensures that he doesn't get caught. Even his mother believes he is dead. He stole few times throughout the chapter, like when he stole the goggles,he says he and his friend steal money often, and finally he stole from and airship's cafeteria.

The test everyone must take at the age of 10 determine whether you and your family have a good or bad life, this is definitely a form of control.  Soldiers barge in and check for the plague in every home, this is for sure a way characters are being watched.  The main character is being watched in a sense, because they are watching out for him and trying to figure out who they are saying is wanted for assault, arson, theft, destruction of military property, and hindering of the war effort.

# data[].attributes.body
Characters have power taken away from them when they are not allowed to enter or leave their homes, if it has been marked with an X. What makes this worse is that they have even resorted to violating this when no one is looking. Another instance when characters have power taken away from them is that if someone doesn't open the door within the time span of 10 seconds, they abruptly open the door and proceed with their procedure for checking for the plague. A women with the plague that is not very dangerous was shot by a soldier, this is an example of when this character had power taken away from her.

In the beginning of the chapter I wanted to know why would it be safer for his mom to think he is dead.  I also wonder why they aren't trying to treat the plague, instead they are just locking people in their homes.  Why did they only put an X with a diagonal line on their house?

My first impressions after reading the chapter was it keeps you interested from the start of the chapter and  a word that came to my mind was "unfair."  It keeps you interested by beginning with a hook that states his mother thinks he's dead and that it's safer for her to believe that.  I thought unfair because a score a 10 year old child receives on a test can change their families entire life for the better or worse.  In addition to this, someone with the plague could lose their life if they have severely been affected by the plague, without receiving help and treatment.

The main character is wanted for arson, assault, theft, destruction of military property, and hindering the war effort. He definitely rebels. He talks about stealing things multiple times in the chapter too. Later on, he talks about bringing gifts for his family and how he stole some of them.

Soldiers go into every house and have check-ins to see what’s going on inside your house and if anyone living there has the plague. If you don’t answer the door when the soldiers come they will kick it in. Everyone, when they turn 10, is forced to take this trial and basically, the rest of your life is picked out for you.

# data[].attributes.body
When the soldiers mark their house and no one can enter or leave. When their jobs, colleges, and amount of school is determined for them based on this trial they take when they’re only 10. If you fail the trial soldiers come to your house and force your parents to sign a contract giving the government full custody over you and you can never see each other again.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder what the symptoms of the plague are and why they aren’t trying to treat it instead they just lock people inside their houses? What did the symbol they marked on the main character’s family mean? Why does the family of the main character (except his brother) think he’s dead? What is the trial and why is it so important?

# data[].attributes.body
Intriguing. Right from the beginning, it was pulling you in. The first line says my mother thinks I’m dead. I’d definitely say that’s intriguing. Then as it goes on it starts to talk about how there is a plague going on and I think it is very interesting to hear about how this dystopian world is dealing with the plague when we are going through a pandemic, and it is being handled SO VERY differently.

The propaganda against the colonies is a way of controlling the characters. The soldiers seem to control and watch the characters. The guns' sensor is a way for the Republic to watch and control the characters. The guns' sensor reports your hand shape, thumbprints, and location. The characters have to take the Trial. There's no way of not taking the test. If the soldiers knock on your door you have to open the door.

It decides your whole life for you. You get an amazing grade, then you get an amazing life. You fail, then you die.

First of all the test that they have to do to see if they get into to college, high school, or no school is power taken away from them. And when the plague search every house and draw their blood and maybe put an x on their door. That's definitely power taken away from them.

By making makeshift weapons, which don't leave identification sources, they can avoid being found and captured. This means the main character can stay under the radar, and never be actually seen.

I think the concept of the book is really interesting. The test deciding everything that's going to happen to you is a really interesting choice for a dystopian world because this kind of already happens in a lot of parts of the world. It's not exactly like in the book, but it's very similar.
