Reestablishment: Does It Means To Be A Weapon
Diseases are destroying the population; food is hard to find, birds don't fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong colour. The world is too busy crumbling to pay any attention to 17-year old Juliette, locked up for murder because her touch is lethal. No one cares why as long as she doesn't hurt anyone else.
The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things. Now that so many have died and survivors are whispering war, the Reestablishment had changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul and a poisonous body. She could be their weapon.
But Juliette has plans of her own, after a lifetime without freedom she's finally discovering strength to fight back.
Juliette needs to make a choice.
Be a weapon or be a warrior.

    Hyperempathy Quotes

    • 295 Words
    • 2 Pages

    I am still trying to figure out what happened in this book. I wonder what happened for them to need to put a wall around the neighborhoods. Why are the people so desperate? Why are the resources, such as water, so scarce during these times? I feel especially bad for Lauren since she has hyperempathy. The fact that you could feel other people’s pain, is probably one of the worst things to experience. Especially in her time, where so many people are suffering. I remember when they said in the book about what if everybody had hyperempathy. That got me thinking because, if everybody had the ability to feel people’s pain, then nobody would want to hurt anybody because nobody would want to feel that pain. I feel that it is good that Lauren’s father…

    In this 338 page book, the story Shatter Me takes place in a future time; in an insane asylum. It is difficult to explain how to begin to summarize the book, because there is so much. In the beginning you meet protagonist, Juliette. Juliette has special powers, when she touches people she sucks the life out of them. Seventeen year old Juliette was born with these special powers- she can kill you with just one touch. An accident, three years ago that involved the death of a young boy landed Juliette in the asylum. In this setting you learned about Juliette’s past; and the change in society that has led to the country being run by something called “The Reestablishment.” The Reestablishment is best described as a governmental organization that claims it is dedicated to rebuilding the dying Earth. Food and water are in short supply and the animals are almost completely wiped out. Diseases are everywhere and the sky is disgustingly polluted. Since “The Reestablishment” was a new thing happening Juliette didn’t know what was happening outside of the asylum walls. We as the reader get introduced to Adam, After 264 days imprisoned Juliette gets a cellmate, a boy named Adam who she remembers from her past. Juliette is eventually taken from the asylum by a young leader of the Reestablishment, Warner. Warner had been researching Juliette and her life; it turns to be that he is obsessed with her.

    Moreover, in each sentence Remen excellently uses punctuations which makes the story more understandable and enjoyable to read, she evokes sympathy through relatability, and she delivers a strong message about social violence in the emotionally dense telling in a mere one-and-a-half-page story. Social awareness is empirical to understanding injustice in various topics universally, particularly healthcare in “The Final Patient.” Recognizing social violence and the effect it has on other’s well-being is a crucial component in reforming these practices, such as ones that enable social injustices like Delia’s situation, progressing and sanctioning certain actions to move towards a moral society where more people are actively trying to increase awareness of social…

    Though the Civil War brought about an officially reunited country and the freedom of slaves, it set a precedent for our burgeoning country that social change happens quickly where blood is spilled. This violent state of mind paved the way for a reconstruction era that was largely detrimental to the progress of the United States as a nation, especially in the case of newly-freed African Americans. After the confederacy was disbanded, Black codes attempted to keep African-Americans out of cities and towns. Vigilante groups continued the actions of disrespect and violence toward freedmen, instilling fear and animosity between whites and blacks. These African-Americans had nothing but their own freedom to begin with, and now they feared violence in retaliation for exercising that freedom.…

    Marie

    Tired of the system in which Marie has been depending on, she often followed through the letters that came to her from the Social Security Administration office hence they would cancel her assistance if she did not show up to her appointments. Given the circumstances that Marie had, “it seemed to her like life was all a chaos and painful uncertainty and that the only way to get through it was to expect chaos” (Jones, 1992, pg. 230). It was an unpleasant evening in March, in which Marie had to purchase a simple box of oatmeal. On her way to the store a young man came from behind and tried to ripe off her coat pocket. Marie of course was prepared. It seemed like she knew about her community and the people that lived there. When the man ripped her pocket she took out her knife that was hidden in the other pocket where the money was and cut his hand. Often times, life circumstance as well as our experiences makes us do things that might sound extreme or harmful. Marie was a woman that endured many problems; therefore she was always ready for anything to go wrong. Marie did react in a violent manner, but was convinced that if it were not for the knife that she had, her life would have been in jeopardy.…

    This accident caused her own hands to be burnt. Her hands were very important to her as her only joy in life was really playing the piano. “The piano is some comfort in all this. I go to it and I forget the dust for hours.” The piano could make her escape reality and enter a world of her own, but with her burnt hands she could no longer play. It was sad, because it was one of her only comforts during this hard time. “I had swollen lumps for hands, they dripped a sickly pus, they swung stupidly from my wrists.”…
