Allegiant, by Veronica Roth, is a decent book. It has an interesting plot with many twists and turns. The switching of viewpoints is confusing, but I realize it is a necessary literary device since at the end of the book, the main character dies. Following is an interview with Tobias, one of the main protagonists in the book. My interview includes seven questions: How did you feel when you found out that Amar, your former instructor, was alive? I felt speechless and amazed when I found out he was alive. I almost could not believe it was him when I saw him driving a car because I so vividly remember attending his funeral. I also remember him instructing me and protecting me when he thought I was Divergent.

I felt devastated that an action I had played a part in had killed Uriah. I only meant to do what was morally right that day. I was in the dark as to the plan’s true intent. I felt shell-shocked and ashamed when I reported I indirectly killed the person I was charged with protecting. How did you feel when the people at the Bureau told you that you are not Divergent?

I felt devastated because that meant I was genetically damaged. I felt I was somehow less of a person because of my unchangeable genetic defect. I was desperate for a way to feel better about myself so it is not much of a surprise that I joined up with Nita even though she was an extremist. How did you feel when you found out your entire life was a government experiment to try to create Khan?

I felt betrayed and felt that my life had no meaning. It was as if my life had meant nothing to the world. I felt as if my life was just the result of the thoughts of some random person living thousands of miles away. This is a major reason why I feel sympathetic to Nita’s cause. It is because I feel as though no one has a right to control one

    I had this friend named Anil John, he passed away on October 6, 2015, from a car accident. I'd say he was about 6'6" and played on the basketball team. He wasn't one of those kids that thought he was all tough because he was on the basketball team. He was one of the nicest kids to ever walk the halls of Islip high school in my opinion. It is a tragedy that he passed away so young, but I know that I will never forget the memories I made with him.…
