Personal Reflection

Opinion

My personal reflection from this book is when Pia finds about the truth. To me knowing what my family has gone through when they came here and why they sacrificed their lives just to come here it feels shocking sad mixed emotions but knowing they did it for you its fascinating you would want to know more.

I absolutely enjoyed reading Origin by Jessica Khoury. At the beginning of the story I was instantly hooked into the book and I really enjoyed how the author was very descriptive of the character showing each one of their personalities. Each setting described by the author was incredible. My absolute favorite part of the book was the ending. Knowing how she felt when she had to keep secrets from her family finally getting answers she deserved to know was absolutely awesome. There is really no other word I can think of to describe this AMAZING BOOK.

Theme

Knowing that Pia wasn't always the same when she left Little Cam but now she is happy and free. Her family and especially her Uncle Paolo wanted her to be their perfect immortal but she realizes in the end she wasn't being her self because she always did what she never wanted to do. Meeting Eio gave her new feelings about Little Cam and realizes you can't always be the person they want you to be especially when you meet new people because people change people.

Solution

Pia finally got the truth about her origin and about Little Cam's past. The compound has been destroyed along with research that the scientists have kept for generations. She can now live hapily and free with the love of her life and not care if she has to this or that.

Conflict

Pia was never allowed to go out and explore the jungle. There was so much she wanted to know on what there was to the rest to the world. Unlike her uncle Paolo, he believes it would ruin his chances of having more immortals and concurring other plans in mind. But Why? Pia's family always told her to do this or that, always focus and to forget about the world. When Pia finds out there is a hole under the fence it's a decision she can never go back at. Once Pia takes the risk, the next morning everyone start going crazy on where Pia has gone. Luckily she has made it back to Little Cam but now everyone is suspicious oh what's going on. Pia starts to keep secrets from her family and deicdes on sneaking every night. Later on, Pia discovers many dark secrets about hers and Little Cam's origin.

Setting

  • Little Cam is a small compound where scientists study and work on helping Pia follow her destiny.
