weak or strong?

In my lit circle group all three of us placed out character in the middle. This is because she was never mentally stable, and still isn't. But that never stopped her form physically acting. By the show of her actions towards Maxon.

I placed it in the middle because she is physically strong. But in the mental strait she is no were near strong. Defiantly with the whole Aspen thing and him being closer to her now. She is a mental wreck. For example she had a brake down near the middle of the book when she was talking to Maxon about her secret relationship with aspen and when he broke up with her, this shows her week side. Her physical strong side showed when she hit Maxon in the garden wall on a walk/date.

America, weak or strong

I put my character in the middle because, she can be strong at some points in the story. Then she can be weak at some points in the story. So I put her in the middle for her being  weak and strong at the same time because, when she cries she doesn't want anyone to see so she dries it up and puts on a brave face.



All of my lit circle group had the same rating. None of my lit circle had a different opinion we all had the same.Yes, I think my character will move throughout the scale  as I finish the book.

America, strong or weak??

    I rated America around then middle of the chart. I put America in the middle because, mentally she isn't very strong but physically she's pretty strong. Prince Maxon should know how strong she is.. I feel like America is weak mentally because of everything she has gone through. 

    One of the other people in my lit circle put America more towards the stronger side, I mean, I can see why. The other person in my lit circle put he towards the middle, like I did. Overall I think she in more i the middle than towards weak or strong. 

    Since I know they're more books after The Selection, I think that America will become strong throughout the other books. I also feel like The Selection is going to have a dramatic ending, which might affect America, and she will learn from it.  

Strong or Weak?

                                        I'M DONE WITH BOOK! MAYBE A SPOILER!

            America is strong but sometimes she can be weak and not be the strong person she can be. I would put her in the middle, but somewhere more towards the stronger side. America is in a spot where she has to choose Maxon or Aspen. She has been strong with this choosing but sometimes she breaks down and she becomes weak and gives into Aspen.

            Most of our ratings were similar, but there was one where someone put her more to the strong side. I can see where she seems strong, but she does have times where she is weak and can't be strong. She can't always be strong. She has caved in sometimes to Aspen and thought about difficult things. America needs her times when she can be weak but she can not cave into Aspen.

           As the series move on I think that America will stay the same. She will need to be strong if she wants to actually continue into The Selection, but I think that she will have to be weak sometimes and cave into some things. Hopefully she will stay away from Aspen though.

Is America Weak or Strong?

  We rated our characters on a scale from weak to strong. I thought America was somewhere in the middle. I would definitely not consider her weak, but she isn't super strong either. She has times where she literally breaks down crying, and also times where she acts as if she is the queen already.
 
  My group for the most part put her in the same area. Mostly in the middle, some slightly past it. We all had the same opinion. Even though I finished the first 3 books of the series, I can say that I definitely believe that America will get stronger as the books go on. Just in the Selection she had gotten a lot stronger since the beginning of the book. When she first went into the selection she wasn't the most social person, she did show her feelings for Maxon by yelling at him but that was the biggest thing she had done. Later on she actually was competing and knew she wanted to win. So yes, I think America will get stronger

Kieras first book was The Siren. Her newest book is The Favorite. She has 18 books. There is 6 books in the Selection series.   I think that she wote the book because Kiera like princesses and royalty.

Research on my author

My author is Kiera Cass and she is 34 years old and lives in South Carolina. She was born May 19th and has 2 kids and a wonderful husband named Callaway. She also went to Radford University, plus she won and award for best young adult fantasy. Kiera's first book was called 'The Siren' plus she has wrote the trilogy series 'the selection' which I am currently reading.
I think she wrote the selection because from what I could tell by her previous book that she likes things that has to do with princesses and royalty so maybe that's why she wrote the selection series plus she looks like she would love fantasy books.
