Reading Journal Week 21 - Pure Emotion - 2016

I am doing a Pure Emotion Reading Journal Blog. 

Four
By Veronica Roth

So, in Four they have this thing where you inject a serum into you. This is where you can see all of your worst fears. Four/ Tobias's worst fear is Marcus, his father abusing him. Back in Abnegation Marcus would always beat Tobias for anything he thought he did wrong even if he did nothing wrong. He is also afraid of heights, confinement, and shooting people. So, during his training to become a dauntless member he has to go through his fear landscape everyday. Amar, Tobias instructor treats him like his son. He sees the struggle he has to go through everyday. This reminds me of children in the orphanage. How there parents abused them, didn't want them, or died. How they have to wait everyday waiting impatiently, slowly losing hope that someone will adopt them. I feel very sad that they have to go through so much at a young age. Waiting for a mother and a father to love them. Then when know no comes to adopt them, take them as their own. They start to feel unwanted, they start to lose hope that a person will ever love them. It is pretty sad, but then I feel angry at their parents who just   abandoned them. If you don't want a child, why have one? If you don't have enough money to take care of one, why have one? People just don't think before they do. You must first think about you and the baby. If you can't take care of it, don't have one? Because later on, when your child is in an orphanage and they don't get adopted. They are the ones who are going to be felt feeling like they are worth nothing. I just don't get parents sometimes.
