My favorite scene in the book so far is when Lena goes to the Roaring Brook Farm and sees a mix of females and males together dancing, talking with each other, and touching. The reason why I like this scene is because we get to see a new side of the society where the people are hanging out and socializing. Plus this is when Lena gets a taste of sneaking out and gets to see Alex again.

My favorite scene of the book is when Lena told Alex being with him was a mistake. It was wrong for him to keep this big of a secret for so long especially if he wanted to date her.

My favorite scene of the book so far is when Lena snuck out to see Alex at the beach. I liked this scene because it was her moms favorite beach. Alex also told Lena that he was an Invalid.

It troubles me that the governemnt chooses their partner for them. This troubles me because they should be allowed to choose who they love.

A moment of relief I've found while reading is when Alex says he is an Invalid. This is relieving because I have assumed this from the beginning so when he said it. I felt relieved.

It is important because of the technology they have. Our generation could not produce the cure.

The setting is important because if they weren't where they were, they wouldn't be so close to the Invalids.

My opinion on this book has changed since I started reading, becausr at first I thought this was more of a romantic story. I am glad it has more action then I anticipated.

The event that changed this world is love. The society felt they had to control everyone before love does. I think that the government has a point but they shouldn't have made the cure.

Lena needs to break the rules. In order to find out more about her mom she needs to start asking questions and talking to Alex again.

My question 1.

leekat26 — 2024-03-13 13:28:35 UTC

If Lena's mom didn't die do you think she would have met Alex?

My question 2.

leekat26 — 2024-03-13 13:29:10 UTC

Why do you think Lena wants to impress Hana so bad that she breaks the rules for her?
