The Colonies

    A Shining Metropolis

    Day carries June to the other end of the tunnel and out into the Colonies. The Colonies city they emerge into is an enormous shining metropolis. However, they realize that it is not as perfect as they thought, and that the Colonies is a heavily consumer dominated, corporate police state.

    They are taken to a hospital, and Day is excluded due to his being a celebrity. Day discovers that Kaede has come through to the Colonies as well. As June dreams and works it out for herself, Day is informed that the leader of the Patriots, Razor, is in fact working for the Republic. The Republic Senate, angry with the new Elector's changes, wished to remove the Elector, and used Razor to do so. However, Anden survived, and many Patriots were arrested.

    June passes out at the hospital in Tribune City, Colonies of America. Later when she wakes up, she is captured by Colonies soldiers, June is handcuffed to a bed and she manages to escape from the cuffs using a paperclip ring. Kaede, June, and Day escape from Colonies soldiers who wish to sell them to a military company as prisoners of war. Kaede takes a jet and flies to the Republic. 

   "June still sounds weak, but there's a burning purpose behind it, the sense that we're about to do something pivotal. She can tell that something has changed inside me." (Lu 328) 

Day is escaping from the colonies with June, and even though she's weak,  she can tell something will happen. This tells me that something big will happen, involving Day, that affects not only him, but the whole Republic. Day is going to be a part of something revolutionary that will change ideas and make other people think again. 

"Are June and I a good match? No. It's the first word that pops into my mind." (Lu 330)

Day thinks about his relationships during his calm, and free time and figures out that he and Tess are a better match than June and him. My prediction is that Day will realize how Tess has supported, protected and stood by Day all these years, and he'll end up terminating his love interest in June. 

Conclusion

Day and June have survived the colonies, once thought to be a utopia, a place where freedom is everywhere, but were corrected. Not everything is always as it seems and sometimes the best things are bad, or can eventually turn bad. Day and June's has changed a lot and it's showing maturity between them. Kaede is being included more in the story, which I love, and the suspense created is amazing. I want to see what Day is or will be a part of in the next chapters and what will become of him.
