Allegiant
Beatrice Prior is one of the two main characters in this book. She is described as daunting and brave. Tris (her nickname) has brown hair and is described as beautiful (from Tobias’ point of view.) She is very curious and usually looks at the glass half full. Her nickname, Six, is based on the fact that she only has 6 fears. She has a boyfriend, Tobias, who goes by ‘Four’ for the exact same reason. Tris is a Divergent, which we learn in the book, means she has healed genes. Her brother, Caleb, betrayed her and her family, and now that he is back in her life, she is not so sure about him. “...so that he can’t poison it like he’s done to everything else.’’ (36%). That is just a brief explanation of Tris Prior.
The main idea of Allegaint is that we have to learn to accept each others differences. In the beginning of the book, the main characters just thought that there was Divergent and non Divergent. When they got out of their city (Chicago) they learned that there was just GP (Genetically Pure people) and GD (Genetically Damaged people). Tris found out that she was GP, but her friends were all GD. There was a conflict outside of the experiments (Cities like where Tris grew up) about treating the GD’s differently than the GP’s. In the end of the book, Tris and her friends set things straight about treating GP’s and GD’s differently.
This book is first person, although it is a little different that most books. Instead of there being only one person telling the story, it is two people. Tris and Four. The two switch point of view almost every other chapter. Even though there are two people telling the story, it is still in first person. This next quote is from chapter 34 and Tris is speaking. ““I didn’t know you would be ...

This book is written in first-person point of view, which I personally like, because it’s a very touching story and you get to see all of the feelings firsthand. I also like first-person point of view because it’s not like the author is a narrator explaining everything that’s going on. It is a character in the story, and you don’t think of it as an author, you think of it as Luna, and it’s a very believable character.
Webster defines friendship as the emotions or conduct of friends; the state of being friends. Growing up you realize that every relationship is tested throughout time and some make it through that time and others do not.
Many narratives are told in different perspectives these days. I believe the book Make Lemonade is told in the first person point of view.
...ou don't fit in with any of those you are factionless. Once the choosing ceremony arrived Tris choose Dauntless and from then on lives among the other Dauntless transverses and the rest of the Dauntless. Both ladies live in communities where the people are split up, they are divided into certain sections for doing specific jobs or they are separated by personality traits. Similarly both Katniss and Tris want to leave their communities, Tris feels like she doesn’t belong, she wants to be free and she wants a little more excitement in her life. While Katniss wants to leave so that her sister or herself won’t have to go into the games, she is tired of the way the government is run and wants to be free. Also both of these novels takes place in the United state of America but both novels are set way into the future, so maybe these two young girls could have been friends.
In Pat Conroy’s, The Lords of Disciple, first person narration is used to develop the story. Seth Reilly, a writer and fiction author, talks about what first person narration is. Reilly states in his article for aspiring novelists, “First-person perspective is writing from the point of view of your narrator, putting across the world as they see it” (Reilly). While first person narration puts the reader in the narrator’s head, this point of view has multiple advantages and disadvantages. When talking about the advantages of first person narration Reilly states, “first person can effectively communicate how each moment feels; delivering sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch, all through the prism of your narrator” (Reilly). This is one of the
During her attempts to protect the Divergents, Tris' brother betrays her and those close to her. When he chooses Jeanine over her, a switch flips in her mind and heart. Seeing him in a new light, she becomes aware that he is no longer a wise choice of associate. As hard as it may be for her, Tris cuts ties with Caleb because of his disloyalty. This action makes it clear that Tris values loyalty and honor and is not afraid to hurt feelings if necessary.
In second person narrative, the narrator is not a character in the story but "you" are. In a third person narrative, the narrator exists completely outside of the story. All characters are described as "he", "she", or "it". In third person omniscient narration, the narrator can describe the innermost thoughts and feelings of her characters. This book The Glass Castle is written in first person point of view and with that said some advantages that it has is that it mirrors real life for example. We can only experience life from our own point of view, we don't know what other people are thinking. Also with first point of view it's easier to portray the characters personality, feelings and view of the world, as they are doing most of the talking. First person point of view makes readers more comfortable with the story because first person narratives have an easier time garnering empathy from their audience, since the reader spends so much time in the character's

Fictive kin used to describe individuals that is not related by birth or marital statuses but have a significant emotional connection with that other individual and it would develop the characteristics of a family relationship.
The story is told in the first person voice. The narrator is talking to one particular person; He refers to this character in the second person voice. “This is your
I would define friendship as complete trust and love between two people. Many people believe that this kind of behavior is reciprocated between two individuals without any expectations. A friend is someone who also provides you with support and whom you can rely on to celebrate special moments with. A friend also comes with many great attributes; such as loyalty, honesty, compassion, trust, and morality. Today’s friend is viewed as someone who shares happiness, common values, history, and equality with another. For example, Aristotle and Cicero both wrote dialogues about friendship and its significance on mankind. Therefore, the key issues that will be discussed are: their views on the similarities of friendship, the differences between friends,
Having this written in the first person allows the audience to have a more understanding. It also makes the reader feel like they are in the book. Although if this book were to be written in the third person the text would carry on forever and you also would not understand to its full potential.
The author speaks in first person as she is Caroline, she wants to tell the real story of what happened. For example, Martha Hall Kelly states, “ I do feel like something inhabited me the day I stepped into the lovely Bellamy- Ferriday House. Caroline? The Rabbits? Whoever they were, they led me on an incredible journey, through Poland, Germany and France to find the truth about this story. Perhaps all of those brace women, almost seventy years after WWII, wanted their story told”. Martha Kelly wants the real story to be told about history she wants nothing but the truth. She took in her ideas from the inside of Caroline’s house she felt like this was a story that needed to be heard.
