My second quarter book was Delirium. There was multiple characters as any other book, but the character that interest me the most was Alex. The reasons why Alex is my favorite character is because he at first acted as if he was cured from the disease that existed in his time period (love, empathy etc.),but he actually isn't cured and opens up to Lena which is hard to many guys.The traits that Lena described him as constantly smiling or laughing or both. Despite this he does have a serious side; showing empathy and anger when Lena revealed what happened to her mother and sadness when talking about his own backstory. He is also a proficient liar, lying to authorities, and even on occasion, Lena, without suspicion or detection. Mostly the biggest change for Alex was trusting a person which he haven't done in a while, The ways that I connected to this character was by being so uptight and always being cautious who I talk to and who to open up to ever since I was young due to some occurrences in the past; maybe not as bad what Alex went through but understandable.
Was it strange to you that Alex was able to act like he wasn't sick when he really was. Like he controlled himself from showing signs of doing it? That seems like a really hard thing to do. Great post though.
ReplyDeleteNo I don’t believe it was strange because if he was caught being sick they would of kill him.
DeleteOoo I love this book! I actually read the second part of this book Pandemonium for last quarter. A lot of things change, but I also liked Alex...he did what he had to do to stick to his believes and survive. That doesn’t mean in the next book that there aren’t anymore likable characters though!
