I have been frantically trying to finish the book "Allegiant" by Veronica Roth so I could write a review on it but I decided to wait and publish that final review sometime in the future. This month I have been on a very strict diet trying to shed a few pounds, so I would like to talk about a very serious issue in America....OBESITY! Obesity is excessive weight to the point where you may be risking yours or others lives. . Obesity usually starts in childhood when you have bad health habits with eating and exercise. America is one of the most obese country's in the world. I have attached the hyperlink to a blog on American obesity below.

The best way to keep from becoming overweight and staying healthy is by learning and following good eating/ exercise habits at a young age. Get up and go for a walk in the morning or go for a jog. Instead of eating that bowl of ice-cream eat a bowl of fruit with some whipped cream! The smallest things help. Need motivation? Find a good playlist of songs or watch the show "The Biggest Looser". I believe together we can help beat obesity in America!

This column describes how Legos are literally "building blocks" for kids brains and imagination. They help a kid learn many life skills and help deliver some peace to parents.

I believe that the line "In the end, that's the magic of these polymer bricks whose funny name is a Danish contraction for "play well." With Legos, kids build sturdy little creations – which, in turn, build sturdy kids. ?" This quote helps deliver the standing statement the author is trying to portray in her writing. When the author wrote this it helped sum up the entire column by providing a good finishing sentence that left the reader pondering. The author uses a lot of commas within the piece I have chosen, I believe this helps break up the sentence to keep it from giving the illusion of a run-on. Also the author uses a questioning statement at the very end, thus helping me infer that she is stating her opinion but also creating a question to let the reader create their own thought. The author also incorporates larger words such as "contraction" and " creation" which are larger then the other words, although they are not very big they are larger then the average in that passage. This was a perfect example of a finishing sentence.
Ramsey's writing format usually focuses on what is going on in the society around us or about certain studies that may help our lives. When she is writing she usually focuses on the facts about what everyone knows then delivers what she has discovered, like when she said " in the era of violent video games and highly orchestrated "enrichment" activities, a humble pile of Lego bricks is still among the most captivating and creative sorts of child's play." We all know that video games aren't the best for growing minds and that Legos are a better substitute, but then she goes deeper and explains why Legos are better. When she goes deeper into the explanation you start to follow the facts and create an understanding on why (a certain subject) is better. "And out of all those wonderful things that adults want kids to master but never let them learn on their own – process, trial-and-error, deduction, elimination – chaos will turn to order. Meanwhile, a work ethic is built in: If you want to play with the toy, you have to make it first." She also incorporates passages like a over into her writing that tell you where you are or we're going wrong.
If I were able to ask Krista Ramsey 3 questions they would be:
1: why do you write about what is going on in the society around us?
2: would you consider yourself closely related to a reporter?
3: where do you get your ideas to write about, news? Other authors? Online studies?

The book “Allegiant” is still a great book! I have continued
reading and just cannot put it down. If I had to choose the best thing about
the book it would have to be the amount of action and twist the characters encounter.
When Veronica Roth wrote this series she made the characters come to life, she
describes every detail immensely. The action continuously leaves you begging
for more and the twists blow your mind! Although I did rate it a 10/10 there
has to be a downside. If I had to choose the worst part of the book I would say
it is the fact that she isn'tth book. Veronica
Roth has such a great capability with molding words into astonishing books. I hope she continues cranking out best sellers!
going to make a 4
