Section Two Prediction

      Day has just been captured by the republic, his mother was killed, and June is responsible. The night before, Day visited his families home, thinking that June was asleep. She wasn't and after following Day to the house, she realized that this boy wasn't just some random kid on the streets, it was the Republic's most wanted criminal. She called for backup and they set a trap for him the next day. I think that he will be brought back to HQ for questioning and June will find out that he didn't kill her brother. They might form a pact after this and possibly work together to find out what's going on.

The Main Conflict

      The major conflict in this story is June vs. Day. This is a character vs character conflict. Day is the person believed to be responsible for the death of June's brother. After graduating early from college, she sets out to find Day. She knows that Day is trying to save money for medicine that can save his brother. She knows to look in the lake region for him and eventually finds him. The only problem is she doesn't know it's him. He saves here from a street fight and lets her stay with them for a while as she recovers. Eventually one thing leads to another and she finds out his true identity, even though he has been so kind to her, she sets up a trap for him in an attempt to capture this most wanted criminal.

Introduction to June

      June is the Republic's prodigy child. She got a perfect score on her "trial" which is a test to determine the rest of your life. She was sent to the best high school and then the best college in the entire Republic. Although she was so smart, she was not the best behaved kid in the school. In fact she was the worst behaved kid in the school. She was younger than the rest of the kids attending the school, making things tough for her. Also her parents died when she was younger in a car crash leaving her older brother and herself alone to care for themselves. After her brother was killed, she took the role of a spy to find his killer. Left with no family and few friends, avenging her brothers death is the only thing she feels she can do in this situation.

Introduction to Day

      In chapter one, Day is introduced, the Republics most wanted criminal. He isn't the most dangerous or violent criminal in the Republic, but the most wanted because the Republic know nothing about him. Every day they show a different picture of him on the most wanted boards. They don't know who he is, what he looks like, and his fingerprints don't match anyone in their database. This makes him most wanted because it makes the Republic look bad and frustrates them quite a lot.
   
      In this chapter he is watching the house of his mother. He is believed to be dead by his family and they don't know he is actually Day. A deadly virus has spread into the area of the city that his family lives in and where he lived as a child. He is watching the house in wait for inspectors to check his family for the virus. After a few hours of waiting they finally inspect it, and they spend a very long time inside the house, much longer than any other house. This worries Day a lot and he waits to see if a red X will be marked on his house. The red X means the house is infected and people in an infected house cant leave until they either are cured or die. After over an hour, they come out and mark something on the door, it wasn't a red X but it worries Day much more than a red X would. I don't want to spoil anything so i'll leave it at that.

Introduction to my book

      The first page of my book Legend by Marie Lu introduces the the main characters June and Day. Day is a most wanted criminal of the Republic which is a new country in the western portion of the United States. The U.S. has split into two enemy factions, the Republic and the Colonies, both fighting for land and resources. Day has been trouble for the Republic for years but they are never able to catch him. The weirdest thing about day though is that when he commits crimes, he never kills anyone. Soldiers and police from the crime scene are all either found knocked out or dazed and usually unscratched. He's vandalized military areas, stolen supplies, food, weapons, but never hurt a single person.
   
      June is a highly acclaimed student in the Republic who attends the best college in the country. She comes home one day to find her brother, the only remaining member of her family, is dead. Her parents both died in a car accident when she was very young. The prime suspect for the murder is none other than Day. June is confused though because Day has never killed a single person, and her brother was found with a knife through his heart. This was clearly not an accident, and June goes on a hunt for who she is told killed her brother, Day.

My Blogging Book

        I am reading the book Legend by Marie Lu. I chose this book because it is similar to The Hunger Games and Divergent which i really enjoyed reading. I like dystopian fiction stories and Legend falls under that category. It also seems to have a suspenseful as well as action-filled plot which really appeals to me.

        This book takes place in the future after the U.S. has split and the western half has become the Republic. June, a 15 year old military prodigy finds out that her older brother was killed. The prime suspect is a 15 year old boy named Day who lived in the slums. He is one of the Republics most wanted criminals. June went searching for revenge and Day went searching for love as these two cross paths.
