Crossed By: Ally Condie Part 2

I just finished reading Crossed by Ally Condie and now I really want to read the next book. The second part of the book is so romantic and heartbreaking at the same time, it hurts. So Cassia and Ky find each other and now are trying to find out what their next step is. They've found each other in the Canyons but now they don't have anywhere to go. Cassia has fond out about the Rising and from clues found all over the Canyons she strongly believes the rebellion is real but Ky doesn't want to join. Ky repeatedly says he doesn't trust the Rising but never says why.  As the story goes on Ky and Cassie get in a lot of arguments because of their opinions. In some parts of the book it even seems like they wont get back together. At first Ky refuses but then both Cassia and Ky realize that they can't just separate after all they've been through. In the text Ky says, "If what she wants is the Rising. I will help her reach it." This shows that Ky is willing to forgive the Rising for Cassia. Cassia, Ky and Indie separate from the rest of the group and head towards the Rising with the aid of a map they found in a cave. The journey is harsh, as they get held back by poisonous rivers, tress full with thorns and The Society which has taken an unexpected interest on the Canyons. In the text it says, "The river is fast; we can see better, but we can be seen and we are exhausted. " This shows that even as they get closer and closer to the Rising they are in danger and all they've worked for could be a waste.

Memory Moments (Note and Notice)

Throughout the book the author would suddenly change the setting and put me in one of the character's memories. When the author does this the memory always connects with something that is happening in the present or will happen in the future. In one part of the book Cassia and Ky find out that the Society had been trying to land in the Canyons but an organization within the Canyons would take down the airships. Back then, the story showed Cassia and Ky that the Society was interested in the Canyons but then the memory turned into something bigger. In one part of the book as Indie flies away in one of the Rising's airships, Ky says, "I see that it's been burned and damaged along the bottom. As though it tried to land somewhere that people didn't want it to be and was fired at. I think I'm looking at one of the airships the farmers tried to take down." This piece of evidence is mind blowing, it shows that maybe the Rising is not what it seemed to be and Ky, Cassia and Indie have gotten themselves into a bad situation.  This could potentially turn into a bigger conflict.
