Horwitz’s reason for wanting to achieve this goal is because of his own ignorance that he sees while at Plymouth Rock. “Expensively educated at a private school and university- a history major, no less!-I’d matriculated to middle age with a third grader’s grasp of early America.” Horwitz is disappointed in his own lack of knowledge of his home country, especially with his background history and decides not only to research America’s true beginnings, but to also follow the path of those who originally yearned to discover America.

Rick Yancey’s The 5th Wave is perhaps the young adult novel of the season. It’s been accompanied by a massive promotional push, with what seems like every Barnes & Noble in the world pushing it as the inevitable successor to Twilight, Harry Potter, and The Hunger Games. And unlike 2012’s event YA book—John Green’s justly acclaimed The Fault In Our Stars—The 5th Wave has a premise that promises at least two more books to come: There are aliens, and there is a girl, and Earth has been invaded. What next?

Aquaphibians conjure up images of dying in the water, drowning, gasping for breath, or encountering eerie, unseen things such as snakes or sharks in the water. In the short story “The Isabel Fish” by Julie Orringer, one of the main characters Maddy has gained this phobia of water due to her car accident in which there was a car crash and she ended up in the water. This car accident has changed a lot in Maddy’s life, but most importantly her perspective on water, and whenever she comes in contact with water, she is reminded of the car accident and
Rick Yancey conveys multiple themes through The 5th Wave, including of which is “Survival depends on being dedicated to others, not one’s self.” Two other themes are “Love can drive people beyond their limits” along with “To win a war you must know how your enemy thinks.” These three central elements had been clearly expressed throughout the book and became very prominent messages by my completion of The 5th Wave. “Survival depends on being dedicated to others, not one’s self” has a different meaning to different people, including some of the characters in the book. To me, I took it as the people you love and your family can lead you to have a reason to live and a strong will to survive.
The pre-industrial Wild West was a dangerous, dangerous place – chalk full of murderers, savages – and lawless territories. Can you imagine that? A world without laws… Well, it was a reality at one point – and to reflect upon it now is enough raise the hair on your neck. And, with that said – it would only make sense for the rough and tumble terrain of the Old West to be the backdrop for a unforgiving gore-fest.
