Re: Beatrice in Wonderland

The text reminds me of Alice in Wonderland. Thus the suggested title change.

Draco Malfoy, please take teechar's suggestions/corrections to heart. Read his post several times. Also, in the future do not use a title such as Request for correction. (If everybody did that it would become tedious very quickly.)

Welcome to the forum!
:)

Thancks for correction, I am reading Divergent by Veronica Roth.

In blue parts :
The big dog becomes a small dog.
In the newspaper there is a photo of a evil man.

Owever Beatrice, after drinking a clear liquid, is in a inreal and fantastic world . This consists of the test to decide which faction she will live for the rest of her life.

Perhaps the parts in blue they could be to correct :

<< Beatrice has to make a decision. After that, the dog turns into a little dog.
She pushes a door, and then she's in
a bus, and all the seats are taken. Sitting near her is a
man with a newspaper, his face scarred, looking like a murderer.
However, Beatrice doesn't see his face very well.
The man asks her if she knows the man in the newspaper photo.
Beatrice answers "nope" (she lies).
She repeats to herself "this isn't real, this isn't real..." >>

Titles should be unique and specific to their thread. For your title, you could have used "Divergent, V. Roth, chapter 2, part 2, summary".

Re: Beatrice in Wonderland

Do you mean to say that after Beatrice makes her decision (what decision?) the big dog turned into a little dog? Does the man having a scarred face make him look like a murderer?
