Nah, is the Same

Summary
This weeks reading starter when Deuce and Fade start fighting against the freaks. They killed all of them and they continue their journey to Nassau. When they arrived they didn't believe what they saw: Th freaks had enter the resistance and eaten all of the people. They were getting out of supplies for the return when in the middle of the tunnels a group of non aggressive people save them and gave them shelter and food. When Deuce and Fade were leaving they promise them that they will return to make changes and commerce. In their settlement Deuce and Fade tell what they had saw but they weren't believed. A group of soldier were sent to trade things with this non aggressive human and they dined made a fair agreement because the other people will not resist. In the end of the chapter a Fade´s friend was murder because of tying to make a rebellion.

Interesting Thoughts through out the book
"I hadn't been on duty when the team went out, but I didn't think they´d taken enough supplies to trade with the Burrowers to merits such big haul"(Aguirre 89).

Image result for unfairWhen I first read this I though about the unfair it was for the Burrowers because they saved Deuce and Fade and they were rob because they were not aggressive. I had a connection to Aladdin because Aladdin promise to give freedom to the genie but he didn't and the genie deserve it. 

"Banner. They´re saying she killed herself because..." He trailed off, unable to say it out loud."(Aguirre 100).

This quote was leaving an open to the story. It was one of the things I liked about this book. I can also compare this to The Ravens Gate, a book I read for summer. As in this book there was a murder that was said that it was not true.

Final Ideas and conclusions
This reading didn't change my mind of the book. It is not a bad one but not as exiting as I expected. even though it had some moments where you don't know what is going to happened or you cant stop reading, most of the book is really repeated from other distopias I had read. This last part of the book, again leave me a doubt of what was going to happened and to read just to know why this girl was murdered.

Not Bad After All

Summary
I am starting a new book called Enclave that is a novel that talks about a future distopia. In this distopia people leave under ground  and they are divided when they turn 15 in 3 groups: Breeders, Builders and huntress. This distopia talks about a Deuce, a 15 years old girl who is chosen to be a huntress and she is really excited because she will go to the out side. In the Out side there are "Freaks", a monster that is like a zombie that eats all kind of meat. Deuce is assigned a partner called Fade, they disobey and as punishment they are sent to other settlement of people that is 3 days away of were they are. They start their journey and in the first knight when Duce is on guard she hears someone close to were she is. 

Interesting Thoughts Trough out the book
"The enclave assembled on naming day, everyone who had survived to be named. We lost lost so many when they were young that we just called all the brats Boy or Girls, along with a number."(Aguirre 4)



When I read this quote I had an immediate connection to The Giver because of the naming ceremony. Then I also realise that kids have numbers and the little babies lake Gabe do. Finally they are chosen a work in the settlement and in The Giver the kids are assigned jobs



"In the third hour of my shift, I heard the scrape of claws on metal."(Aguirre 50)

This was the most exciting thing I had read in this novel, it was also the end of my reading. This quote made me imagine about what will happened next, I have more than ten possible continuations and some of them end with both, Deuce and Fade, death. This also made me have some enthusiastic to continue reading and knowing what will happened later.

Final Ideas and Conclusions
This book has a really good story and is similar to other utopias but I don't really like the story until this first point I have reached. I can tell Is very similar to The Giver because there is a naming ceremony, people are assigned jobs and they don't know anything about the past. Also this book talks about monsters and this is like a zombie movie were there is a zombie apocalypse and people need to survive by scarping and killing them. I think this book is not bad nor excellent either.
