“A rebel is a person who refuses allegiance to, resists, or rises in arms against the government or ruler of his or her country” (“Rebel”). In The Selection series, there are two groups of rebels, the Northern rebels and the Southern rebels. The Northern rebels are the rebels who attack frequently, but not harshly. The Southern rebels are the more dangerous group; they try to kill the king and queen. Both groups attack the palace because they don’t agree with some of the laws of Illea.

Because of the rebel invasions, America and Maxon fall deeper in love. For instance, during one attack Maxon asks America if she wants to leave and America says, “If you’re not kicking me out, I’m not leaving” (The Selection 157). If this rebel attack never occurred, Maxon would have probably kicked America out because she was playing hard to get, and he thought she was not interested in him. Another rebel attack shows how selfless America can be. When the Southern rebels attack, America knows her maids won’t make it to where they have to go to stay safe, so America takes her maids to the safe room. The safe room was only for the selected members and the royal family. “I knew they’d be injured if they were found; at worst they’d die. I couldn’t bear them being hurt” (The Selection 300). America could have gotten in trouble, but she didn’t care. She wanted her maids to be safe even if that meant she’d have to leave the
