Recommended: Effects of betrayal

In the novel, Legend, by Marie Lu, a character from the novel that could be considered a best friend would be Metias. He could be counted as one since he is caring. Best friends care about each other, they aren’t rude, and don’t provide hate towards each other. Throughout June’s life, Metias cared for her no matter what she did. For example, when June got in trouble for climbing the campus walls, fourteen floors high, Metias arrived in Mrs. Whitakers (June’s dean secretary) office to apologize for Junes actions, and bail her out of trouble. When Thomas was feeling down that June wouldn’t learn a thing, if Metias kept praising her for breaking the rules, Metias told him to cheer up. On page 19, Marie wrote “Cheer up, Thomas.” Metias reaches over and …show more content…

For example, June felt devastated when her brother died, so she tried to avenge him by taking out Day. However, when June realizes the truth behind the Republic, she starts to trust Day, and helps him escape. On page 45, the author wrote “I will hunt you down. I will scour the streets of Los Angeles for you. Search every street in the Republic if I have to. I will trick you and deceive you, lie, cheat, and steal to find you, tempt you out of your hiding place, and chase you until you have nowhere else to run. I make you this promise: your life is mine.” This quote describes June’s way of avenging her brother, to take out the killer. Later on in the book, at page 266, June says to Kaede, “I want to help Day escape before his execution.” This quote describes Junes change of mind. Eventually June and Day stay together, and they don’t evacuate each other. This textual evidence supports the theme, because it shows how June at first hated Day, as an enemy, but later on, she gets attached to him after knowing the truth, they become friends. In conclusion, enemies are friends you haven’t met yet could be a theme for the novel

Brady is the main protagonist in the novel because he sets the whole plot line by making the townspeople throw a picnic for him to the townspeople hating him when he turned his back on him at the end of the novel.
