Unfortunately, before the peace treaty could be officially signed, The Colonies declared war on The Republic for use of biological weapon on the war front. This has caused an extremely deadly virus to spread throughout The Colonies, causing many men, woman, and children to drop dead. Even though The Republic claims that this would not have happened if The Colonies had not attacked them, they still wave off the attempted peace treaty and declare war on The Republic.

The novel Champion starts off with Day smoking his hospital-assigned cigarette, and dancing at a club before interrupted by Captain David Guzman, who informs him that Day is invited to a banquet taking place in Denver to celebrate The Republic’s Independence Day. Day almost rejects the invitation, until David tells him that June specifically requested for Day to come. June then personally tells Day that it is an emergency meeting and that his presence is crucial.

  • Todd Shepard's Voices Of Decolonization By Todd Shepard

    1144 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Todd Shepard’s work Voices of Decolonization, the featured documents provide keen insight into the geopolitical environment of the era of decolonization (1945-1965) and the external and internal pressures on the relationships between colonial nations and the territories that they held dominion over (Shepard 10). Decolonization is the result of a combination of national self-determination and the establishment of functional international institutions composed of independent sovereign nations united towards common goals. As decolonization progressed, it intersected with points of significant sociopolitical tension between colonies and the nations that colonized them. Some of these moments of tension came in the form of progressive ideals held by international agencies which colonial nations were allied with, the revolt of colonized populations against their standing government in favor of independence, and in moral and political conflicts that arose when decolonization takes a form unexpected or undesired by the primary agents of progressive international institutions.

    In the book, Till the end of June, by Cris Beam. The overall theme is about foster care. Foster care in relation with the kids, the parents who take care of the kids, and the corporations that oversee the foster parents care and guidance. The book is broken up by parts, each part has different foster parents caring for different foster children. A lot of the book is regulations that both the kids and the parents must undergo.

    The most meaningful part of the book for me, was the sit-ins, a form of protest in which demonstrators occupy a place, refusing to leave until their demands are met. The reason the sit-ins were so meaningful is that it really brought attention to how Americans were segregating the African Americas. Just as if you do nothing when a bully, whites, is picking on you, blacks, they will continue picking on you until you fight back. The sit-ins were a nonviolent way to show that they no longer will or have to take the abuse.

    1. In my novel Matched the major conflict is mostly resolved. I think this because the main conflict in the story is that she can't choose who she wants to be with as well as hiding everything she knows that since the society has made its existence completely and utterly illegal. In the novel, Cassia does choose which boy she wants, which ends up being Ky, but closer to the end of the novel, Cassia does a sort job that gets Ky deported. This changes the plot drastically because now Cassia must now be worried about her secrets as well as getting Ky back without letting the government and society finding out of her plan. She also moves away because of her mom's work which leads her to think that the government is trying to destroy her. This resolution does not satisfy me because it ends on at a cliff hanger but it means very good writing for Ally Condie because it intrigues me to read the next book.

    The reader is put in the middle of a war of nerves and will between two men, one of which we have grown up to learn to hate. This only makes us even more emotional about the topic at hand. For a history book, it was surprisingly understandable and hard to put down. It enlightened me to the complex problems that existed in the most memorable three months this century.
