Heroine

I'd been wondering what to write in the past few days. I don't know why but something inside has been pushing me to keep on writing but I just didn't know what to write. Finally today I got something to write about. Recognize the title? Don't be confused with the word of heroin, the drugs. This one's heroine, female hero. Actually, I like the word "warrior" better.

Yap, today after the usual activity on campus I got back to my flat and started to read Allegiant. That's the third book of the Divergent trilogy. I've been reading that since the beginning of the campus term and it's almost the end. You know what, I've just finished the book at noon. It took a very long time, eh? Usually, I finished reading novels in one up to three days only. Well, apparently the blame doesn't goes to me since I postponed it because of the hectic schedule last year, especially in October and November. 

I started with chapter forty-something, I forgot. There's this girl, named Tris. She's the heroine in the story. I admired her characters; brave, kind, selfless, and smart enough. In the story she was betrayed by her only brother but in the end she still loved him and sacrificed herself for him. She sacrificed herself for a better world. I wouldn't know what to do if I were put in her place. I don't think I'm that selfless enough to offer my life for someone who's betrayed me. Perhaps I don't have that much courage to face death. Maybe I even fear death, though I, as human being, will face it soon or later. What I'm about to say is that in every story, there's not always happy ending on it. Just like life, we can't expect it to end just like a fairy tale. We never know what will happen. All we have to do is to live the life we have with courage. I think I learned lots of things from the heroine; mostly about life, love, family, friendships, responsibility, etc.

People are vary in characters, status, and so many other things. We apparently are differed by many things. In the story, people are differed depends on the characters. They've got factions to group among the people. Apparently, they are actually differed to into Genetic Damage and Genetic Pure. It's said that the people with no special ability against serums (I can't explain the whole story. It's actually a science fiction so it's connected with research and scientific thingy) are called Genetic Damage and they can be controlled by the scientist. They are believed to cause war, riots because of their damaged gene. Well, it's actually a story haha. So basically it's just human's characters that defines them whether to be bad or good.

And again the point of this story is the bravery aspect which is brought by Tris. I loved brave people. I deal with cowardice every single day. I want to share the paragraph I love here:

"There are so many ways to be brave in this world. Sometimes bravery involves laying down your life for something bigger than yourself, or for someone else. Sometimes it involves giving up everything you have ever known, or everyone you have ever loved, for the sake of something greater. But sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it is nothing more than gritting your teeth through pain, and the work of every day, the slow walk toward a better life."

I think that sums up everything.

Anyway, I also watched The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. I know it was too late. I tried to watch it on the cinema but just didn't get the chance. Hell yeah, it was something. There's this heroine too in the story, Katniss, I don't know how the right spelling is. The thing is what she has done is believed to be the beginning of revolution. She has that much humanity, kindness, bravery as well. I caught my self not really understanding the movie that well. I need to learn the character. The story is originally from a novel. I got the e-book, thank God. So I think I'm going to read the whole series soon, before the third film come out. I've always admired female warrior. It shows the world that women aren't created as weak as men think. Women and men are equal and I've always had the desire to show every one that I'm one of that female warrior and I'm in the middle of learning process to be brave.

I think I've written long enough. Good night xx
