“If I had them, there was no way I could lose.” (Cass 323). This is the last sentence in the book, The Elite, and I believe that it wraps up the plot of the book perfectly. In the book The Elite, the competition gets down to the final six girls called The Elite. America now has to work harder than ever to get the Prince’s attention. America endures a drastic turn of events, and needs to get her head back in the competition. While reading this book, I found myself visualizing, evaluating, and clarifying events that occurred throughout the story.
While reading The Elite, there were many events in which I could clearly see an image in my head. For instance, while reading “Huge stains in the carpet announced where someone, perhaps a helpless maid …show more content…
I feel this way due to him acting like an adversary towards America. There is clear evidence supporting this in the quote “You’re going to need to learn to hold your tongue. If not, you and I will be enemies. Trust me when I say that you do not want to be my enemy.” (Cass 321). This clearly shows that the King is a cruel man and that he doesn’t want anything to do with America. The King also has a conversation with America about how lovely the Queen, and then totally switches gears and tells America that she is nothing but ordinary. He does this by telling her how plain she is compared to the rest of the girls and how her caste is pathetic and useless for the throne. “He stormed over to me and ripped the diary from my hands.”(Cass 273). This quote also shows how cruel the King is, but it also shows that he isn’t afraid to be violent. The King also slashes Maxon in the back whenever Maxon upsets or insults his father in any way. The fact that the King can abuse his son and charge at a helpless girl without feeling bad about his actions clearly show that he is a cruel and vile …show more content…
I think this due to America’s maids always obeying her wishes and helping her in anyway they can. “The last thing I was expecting when I walked in my doorway was the smattering of applause from my maids.”(Cass 278) is a quote that supports that her maids really like her. This quote shows that even though America did something extremely stupid, they still support her 100 percent. America’s maids also cried and cried when they thought about the possible demise of America. America was walking back to her room and heard Lucy balling down the hallway, and when she stood outside her room, she saw Anne and Mary sweeping up broken glass with red, puffy eyes. Her maids ran and gave America a hug as soon as they saw she was safe. Their worry over whether or not she was safe shows clear loyalty and care for America. “If she’s going to win, we need a plan.”(Cass 323) is a what Anne said as soon as America told then that she was going to fight for Maxon. This shows that the maids clearly want to help America win the competition. They way America’s maids want to help America clearly shows that they want to keep her around for
