Divergent: Week of 3/3/14

Pages Read: 0-30

Prompt: Who is the author? What do you know about the author? What do you imagine the author must be like?

     The author, Veronica Roth, has a very imaginative mind that catches your attention right away. When I started reading Divergent it was like this huge hand coming out of the book taking me inside the book into a different world. Veronica knows how to catch her reader's attention right away. I value that in a book.

     Veronica is the youngest of three siblings, a brother and sister. Her parents are divorced and her mother has remarried ever since. After attending a year of a different college she transferred to Northwestern University to participate in the creative writing program. Based on the setting of the book, Chicago, I can tell Veronica has love for her city. She graduated from Northwestern University and got a degree in creative writing. Not only does she write full books but also short stories. In her senior year in college during winter break she finished writing her first book, Divergent. This became famous very fast and she sold film rights to Summit Entertainment. The movie will come out March 21, 2014 which is this month.

     I imagine the author might be very fun because I visited Veronica Roth's website and read her posts, by the way she writes she seems very fun and humorous. I also very much assume she loves her home city Chicago and I love am also in love with Chicago too. I also know that she is very excited for the movie to come out, even thought she has already seen it. She is excited for her fans as she would say. I am very excited for the movie and I know exactly how this fandom feels about the movie coming out. I have had that amazing experience.
