Analysis

An analysis that I have concluded from my book is that the Rising(a group of citizens that are planning an uprising to go against the society) is planning to destroy the society and take charge, even though that is what Cassia and Ky wants, to break free from the control of the officials in the society, but there is something suspicious about the Rising because for some reason Ky refused to join that group. The Rising seems like a good idea for the citizens in the society to break free from being controlled by the officials and not being able to have the freedom to live their own life the way they want, but why isn't Ky joining that group? Ky always have a good reason behind everything he does and for refusing to join the rising, there must be a reason why. that's why I think that the rising is going to destroy the society.

A quote in my book that shows Ky's refusal is on page 283, "Indie smiles, 'That you're going to be part of the Rising one way or another. You don't want to run and come with me. Fine. But you're still going to be part of the Rising no matter what .' She reaches for the miniport and I let her take it. 'You'll join because you want Cassia and it's what she wants to do.' I shake my head. No." Looking at this quote, the author wrote "No.'" in it's own sentence instead of continuing on by putting a coma after "I shake my head." makes it seem like he's really confident about his answer, unwavering even with Indie convincing him. This gave me an uncertain feeling about the Rising, as if they are not as pure and innocent as I think they are. 

In my opinion, the Rising might not just be trying to gain freedom for the citizens, but they have other motives. For example taking over the society for themselves because of greed.
