I am reading a book called The Testing. This book is about a girl named Cia who lives in a post apocalyptic version of the United States. This United States has been ravaged by war, disease and natural disasters. The United States has been divided into certain colonies with a central capital. This book connects to the environment by having the main job of most of the people in this society to fix and heal the ravaged earth. Everything that people go through in this book is so that they can restore what was once fertile. So far I enjoy the characters that have been presented. They are all strong protagonists and have strong ideals. The main character is a girl named Cia she is known through this book to stick to the values that her parents taught her and never use cheap trick to get ahead. Throughout the beginning she is so focused on getting accepted into the prestigious testing ceremony that she is known as one of the smartest most talented kids in her colony. The opposite of Cia in this book is a boy named Will. He is someone that Cia meets at The Testing and starts out as a nice friendly guy. As the competition progresses you find out that he is willing to do many things to get ahead in this game. This antagonist makes Cia stick even closer to her values a lot of the time so that she doesn't get to in to the competition. The way this author writes shows you the immense difference between these characters and how each of their decisions shape the others decisions. All in all so far this book is very and well written and shows strong points of impacts of humans on the environment.
