A young woman named America Singer is chosen for the Selection. The Selection is a competition that commences every time the prince of Illea is ready to choose a wife to later become the queen. In this competition, one woman is chosen from each of the thirty five provinces to compete for Prince Maxon's hand in marriage. One thing I particular like about this book is the well defined caste systems. The caste systems are numbered from one to eight. One's only include the King's family and the higher the number caste you are in, the lower the income. The author describes the castes with lots of descriptive words and details.
Another thing that I like about this book so far is the way the author depicts America's eternal love for her long time boyfriend, Aspen, but his inability to take care of America caused them to split before she was chosen for the selection. The part of the story I'm currently reading America is going to the palace for the first day on the selection. She has pages of thoughts using lots of detail of all of the rules that she will have to follow during the selection and what she thinks of all the other contestants. The author portrays America's hatred for one contestant in great detail, while also explaining that she has found lots of new friends on the first day of the Selection.
Yorks20,
ReplyDeleteI really like this post! One thing I might note is that the way you separated the two paragraphs seemed a little bit random, but I loved the content of this post.
