Sullivan In The 5th Wave Analysis

539 Words2 Pages

“In the 4th Wave...we slowly go crazy from the fear and anticipation of the inevitable...It tears us apart.
Maybe that will be the 5th Wave, messing with our heads until we can’t even trust our own minds anymore.”
(Yancey 9). The 5th Wave is a book about aliens, the Others, coming down to earth to wipe out the human race.
Classic scenario right? Wrong. Cassie Sullivan is a 16-year-old girl trying to rescue her brother Sammy from the
Others with the help of Evan Walker and Ben Parish. With silencers on her tail and time running out, Cassie will have to find help from unexpected allies in order to save Sammy. People should read this book because it is an action-packed dystopian novel and shows the importance of never giving up and demonstrates

    The diverse alternation of point of views also provides the story an effective way to reach out to readers and be felt. The characterisation is effectively done and applied as Sam, Grace, and the other supporting characters play individual, crucial roles in the course of the story. All the elements of a typical young adult novel, consisting of a gap-filled relationship between children and parents, emotion-driven teenagers, and a unique conflict that makes the book distinct from fellow novels, combined with the dangerous consequences of the challenges the couple encounter, make the book different from all other of the same genre. The plot unfolds slowly giving readers enough time to adjust and anticipate the heavy conflict when it arises. It has gotten us so hooked but the only thing we could possibly dislike about it was the slow pace of plot. The anticipation was too much to handle and we were practically buzzing and bouncing to know how the story turns out as we read. It builds the anticipation, excitement, thrill, sadness, grief, loss, and longing in such an effective way to entice and hook readers further into the world of Sam and

    what kinda sucked about it is that they dragged out to the end. which made you know what's going to happen when ending came. that's why it was so dull cause I was on the last page and Sam still hasn't been killed yet so I knew right away what was going to happen. Recommendations: I would recommend this if you want to study the sight affects of the war.

  • Journal 1 Divergent Dialectical Journal

    659 Words  | 2 Pages

    This book has great balances of love interests, actions, and internal conflict with characters. It has an interesting story so far with new pieces coming up every few chapters that are very important. Like Al attacking Tris, Eric talking about Divergents and how the rebels must be eliminated. Tris and Four are developing feelings for each other, which I find weird because he is basically her teacher. They are only two years apart, so the relationship is not that awkward. In this journal I will be predicting, evaluating, and questioning.

  • Schizophrenia in The Center Cannot Hold by Elyn Saks

    “This experience is much harder, and weirder, to describe than extreme fear or terror, most people know what it is like to be seriously afraid. If they haven’t felt it themselves, they’ve at least seen a movie, or read a book, or talked to a frightened friend – they can at least imagine it. But explaining what I’ve come to call ‘disorganization’ is a different challenge altogether. Consciousness gradually loses its coherence, one’s center gives away. The center cannot hold. The ‘me’ becomes a haze, and the solid center from which one experiences reality breaks up like a bad radio signal. (Saks, p. 13)”

  • Finding Identity in John Updike´s A&P

    Sammy’s decision in the end to break away from the conformity that is in the A&P to establish himself is a raw truthful decision. He has chosen to follow his heart which Updike shows is what every person should do. This story is great for readers of all ages, because Sammy could be any person in modern contemporary society who is struggling to find themselves in a world dominated by conformity, rules, and standards of norms. Updike’s story is a powerful message to seek individualism. Although sometimes the road to self-identity is not known the journey getting there is worth all the while.

  • The Berlin Boxing Club

    817 Words  | 2 Pages

    I really enjoyed this book because it was not a story about the middle of the Second World War. Instead it was right before, when things were not as bad, but they were bad enough. It helped me understand how people lived before the hatred grew and how families were torn apart right from the beginning. Likewise, it gave me hope to see that not everything was destroyed and that some people were able to escape. I would recommend this book more for boys but for girls as well, between the ages of 13-15. Even though Karl’s age throughout the book is 14-17, the novel was written more for my age group. Once again this was an amazing book that I could not put down, and I am sure many others were not able to either.

  • The 5th Wave Movie Vs Book

    This book is about a teenage girl Cassie, and her brother Sammy, who get separated and she has to try to find her way back to him. Cassie promises Sam that she will find him as they are being separated. The bigger problem in this book is that planet Earth is being invaded by “the others.” The humans living on planet Earth are suffering wave after wave. The 1st wave is an electromagnetic pulse. This kills all the technology on Earth. The 2nd wave is an actual wave from the closest body of water. The 3rd wave is the plague. This waves kills 97 percent of the human race. The 4th wave is called Silencer. This is when “the others” appear on Earth and look exactly like humans. Once the 5th wave hits, the human race begins to outsmart “the others.”

  • Exploring Fear in Howl, Basketball Diaries, and Cat's Cradle

    2112 Words  | 5 Pages

    "yacketayakking screaming vomiting whispering facts and memories and anecdotes and eyeball kicks and shocks of hospitals and jails and wars" (Ginsberg 11). Like many authors of the modern literature movement, Allen Ginsberg explores the bomb's psychological affects on many Americans during the 1960s. Modern literature describes the chaos of the 1960s, caused by increasing societal problems and fear of the new atomic bomb. Writings such as The Basketball Diaries, "Howl" and Cat's Cradle express concepts of fear, power, governmental control, and death. Government uses society's fear of death and the end of the world to keep control and power over the people. The atomic bomb generates such universal fear and the corrupted government fails to respond to the chaotic behavior of society or the fears of the individuals. This fear that the government achieves not only maintains control, but also causes chaos and the false belief that the government is on the public's side. The chaotic environment is a result of people crying out for help and the conflicting lifestyles arise when people face the terror of death.

  • Critical Analysis of The 5th Wave

    632 Words  | 2 Pages

    In a world where a mysterious alien race has besieged Earth- survival is the ultimate goal. 95% of the world’s population was not able to achieve this goal; Cassie Sullivan is one of the “lucky” ones. The “others,”as the humans call them, set up five waves to eradicate the human race. Surviving the first wave wasn’t too difficult, it was, after all, just an EMP strike. The second wave really shook the world, literally. The aliens set the Earth’s tectonic plates in motion, causing thousands of off-the-chart earthquakes. The tsunamis that spurred from these quakes were detrimental; killing about 50 percent of the world’s overall population. The third wave proved to be the most emotionally devastating. A gruesome plague- created by the aliens of course- afflicted roughly 97 percent of the remaining four billion people. The virus was spread by various types of the world’s bird population. Humans that did manage to live through the third wave wish they hadn’t; the fourth wave would wither away an already ravaged human population. The fourth wave would enlighten humans on something: aliens were walking among them, and the aliens were slaughtering any prevailing humans. “After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one” (Yancey). Some people may ask what the fifth wave entails, well to find out, those people have to read the book.
