Hello Everybody!
I hope you are enjoying The Elite! I think this is another great read! I read the first ten chapters in a week, so hopefully you all had the same luck! If you haven't finished yet, don't worry! You still have plenty of time to catch up! I think we should be able to finish the next ten chapters by Friday, March 28. So just to reiterate, please read Chapters 11-20. Check out the questions and let me hear your answers!
XOXO

Questions
My Answers
- At the beginning of The Elite, do you love Maxon? At the end of Chapter 10, do you still love him?
- America suggests the military should be voluntary. Do you agree with this idea?
- Do you think America and Maxon did a good job figuring out Halloween? Do you think the ball was a good idea?
- What did you think about the secret library? Should America have told her father about it?
- How would you have felt if your family showed up a palace while you were trying to choose between a prince and a guard?
My Answers
- I do love Maxon, but at the end of Chapter 10, I was really confused. I realize that Maxon saved Marlee's life, but at what price? I think if I had discovered her, I would have just eliminated her, instead of a public flogging.
- I totally thought the military was already voluntary! lol I do agree with the idea that people who choose to fight for their country are often better soldiers that people who are forced to fight. I think you have to fight for what you believe in, and I really like Krissi's suggestion of women fighting. It is funny to think of a time and place where this isn't something already in practice.
- I think they got it! I think the ball was a great idea, and I would have totally loved to attend!
- My favorite Disney princess was always Belle (although Elsa is becoming a close second) and my favorite part of that movie is when she walks into that library! What a paradise! I could literally spend hours in a good (book filled) library, so to me, a secret library is the perfect treat for America! I don't know how I feel about telling her father about it. I feel like the father character is very flat, so I don't feel like I get a good read on him, which is partly why I don't know if I would have told him. She kind of betrayed Maxon's trust, and as a person in a relationship, I know how important it is to keep the other person's trust.
- Haha! My family is so crazy, but they compliment me as well. We took my little sister's boyfriend to play frisbee golf and when spent more time in the briar patches and off the path. My mom even hit me with a frisbee (Total accident! She was aiming for my dad) at one point in the game. I feel like I would have flourished with my family around, but I am that kind of person. I don't know how my little sister would feel about it, and I almost didn't like how easy that came to America. I think 9 out of 10 people would have been really stressed out. Even if they missed their family.
