This evidence shows that Nova hates the Renegades and sees them as nothing more than glorified celebrities who think …show more content…

Her tone shows that she is less than pleased with the Renegades because we know they failed her when she was younger. Thus, she doesn’t trust them or believe that they are capable of saving anyone but themselves. Next, on page 118, Meyer states, “Maybe Ingrid wasn’t wholly innocent. Maybe none of them were, but then, the Renegades weren’t, either.” During this part of the book a group of Renegades has stormed the anarchists home and is torturing Ingrid, one of the anarchists. It is during this part in the book where Nova decides there is no good in the world and that no one is innocent. She believes this because the Renegades were supposed to be the good guys that saved people, but in this instance they were being as cruel as everyone else. She believes that you have to save yourself because there are no good people to do it for you, everyone is

This is demonstrated through the characters who struggle with unresolved trauma, precisely because they lack the support and emotional connection provided by familial relationships. These characters serve as a contrast to those who are able to overcome their trauma through the support of family members, further emphasizing the importance of familial connections in the healing process. Stella, the first character introduced in the story, struggles with trauma following the death of her mother. Quotes from the text reveal that she appears "pretty rough, like depressed, or postpartum" (Vermette 246), indicating that her mother's death is still fresh and causing her pain. This is attributed to her lack of connection with her family members, as she admits that “It has been months since she's seen her family” (Vermette 87).
