Final Blogging Assesment in English 1B

In the book Delirium, the main girl Lena falls in love with a boy named Alex, even though love is forbidden and is thought of as a disease. She goes to visit the place where Alex is from called the wilds, where people don't have to get rid of love and are free, unlike the society where Lena is from which basically chooses your life for you. Once she visits the wilds she falls in love with the big open woods and all the little houses and places that people live in in the forest. A prediction that I have is I think the Lena will run away to the wilds with Alex. She doesn't like the way she's living in her society now, and really liked the wilds, so I believe she is going to want to live there and start a life with Alex, never going back to her old society again. An example from the book that made me think this is "I wish we could stay here,"(Lauren Oliver). This is a quote from Lena when she's laying in bed with Alex in the wilds and is talking about how she wants to stay there with him and never leave.  If I were Lena I would want to run away as well. Imagine never feeling love or having someone love you back. I think it would be an awful society to live in, since I have a lot of love for my friends and family, and once you turn 18 you would never feel that same love again. The one thing I wondered was why did the society keep the wilds from everyone else and make them think it was such a bad thing, and what happened that was so bad they decided to get rid of love? I understand that love is very powerful, and can  make you do crazy things, or the opposite of love is hate, and without love anymore there wouldn't really be any hate. You have to love someone at some point in order to get to the point where you hate them because of something they did when they loved you. So I feel like the society thought that if they got rid of love, they would also get rid of hate and people from doing crazy or bad things.
