Teen maxon, huh?


Therealbadkitty After re-reading the ending I have to say that it's very unlikely Aspen and America will be together. She's staying in The Selection now to be with Maxon solely AND started to distance herself from the romance with Aspen. Of course anything could happen,but it probably won't end up with Aspen and America. At the very least,if they do end up together,I don't think she'll be very happy with her life,she'll feel as if she's only settled and missed her chance with her one true love.

It's called a typo. In case you couldn't figure it out, I meant team Maxon. And speaking of typos, Maxon would be with a capital M since its a name.

MissIntegrity Whatever, he should move aside i highly doubt he's going end up with America at the very beginninng he had her heart and he blew it now he just sticks around to confuse her if he really wanted to stay out of the way he would instead of pulling her into dark rooms every chance he gets

MissIntegrity I just dont even care for Aspen anymore, after he broke it off with her and left in my mind he was as good as gone so I dont see why he had to come and complicate

Sara I am so Team Maxon all the way. When Aspen came to the palace and was like, "You know, I didn't mean to break up with you. It was for the best. Can we get back together now??" NO! You TOLD her to sign up for the Selection and now Maxon has got her heart so you need to walk away. And also, I don't want to be team Aspen cause if they got caught, the same thing that happened to Marlee would happen to America. They really need to be more careful when they're meeting. I think Maxon is so sweet but I'm edgy after the whole Kriss thing. That really threw me off. He really like America from when he met her first and then Kriss comes in the picture which totally hurt. The whole thing before he went to New Asia scared me because he and Kriss had this really sentimental moment and with America is was...nothing. But before the whole Kriss situation, Maxon totally confessed that he loved her and was going to propose. Aspen just broke America's heart and then begged for forgiveness like everything would be ok. But Maxon is so sweet and I think he really truly loves America. If he didn't why is she still here?

Maybe his chances are smaller, but I still want to root for him because I like him more. I always like to root for the other guy in the love triangle if I like him more, even if he's the guy who usually dies and doesn't get the girl. GO TEAM ASPEN!

No I totally hadn't figured that out because I'm retarded and I didn't notice that "Maxon" wasn't capitalized. I was just wondering how your hands couldn't separate "teen" and "team" no need to chew me out, geez.



message 262: by Angela (new) - rated it 5 stars

Angela Just my opinion. Not trying to change any minds.

I am proud to be on TEAM MAXON! (Edited the typo by the way for ppl with issues. Lame btw) Aspen is lame for not leaving America alone. She only ever runs to him because he's always been there. He needs to back off and stop confusing her.

This is something that America wrote about Maxon. Quoted from The Elite page 298.

"I knew that, in my whole life, if I married Aspen or someone else, no one would ever Make me feel this way. It wasn't like I made his world better. It was like I was his world. It wasn't some explosion; it wasn't fireworks. It was a fire, burning slowly from the inside out."

Yes, you bring up very good points, but may I remind you again that Aspen planned the meetings very thoroughly so that they wouldn't get caught, Yes, it was a little risky,but it was sweet. (also it was like the only time we got to see Aspen. :P) Also, America could have chosen not to see him, which means that she does, in fact, love him, even if her feelings for Maxon are growing as well. :( I feel that Aspen is more suited to America because they feel comfortable around each other, so they wouldn't feel the need to keep secrets from each other. They've already developed that strong bond and trust. I'm not saying that America and Maxon couldn't develop that bond, but I just feel that Aspen is a better fit. ;) And also, Maxon is starting to develop feelings for the other girls! :P It kinda ticked me off when he made out with Celeste.....it down-graded my liking for him A LOT. (Don't chew me out and say "that's what he's supposed to do!" yada yada yada) I think that Maxon and Kriss would be great together!

Go Team Aspen!

I don't get why you eccentric Team Maxon peeps refuse to give Aspen another chance. I, as a loyal member of Team Aspen, am not giving up! Go Team ASPEN. Plus, the phrase "MAXON IS BETTER THAN ASPEN" is very opinionated, not fact. GO TEAM ASPEN!

You can think whatever you want, no one is trying to change your opinion. I'm not trying to be rude but it's pretty clear what you support in terms of which romance you prefer. You don't need to announce it in every comment you leave. I'm definitely not trying to persuade you to change your mind,I'm glad you have your opinion but it comes off as some what forceful when you respond to every Maxon comment this way.

Nice way of stating your opinions (if you exclude the part where you insult the people who are very strict with their grammer, which is not a bad thing). Still on Team Aspen and am proud to be! And I think you just strengthened my argument with the part where he's ALWAYS been there. GO TEAM ASPEN

The same could be said about "you eccentric team Aspen people" why not give Maxon another chance? He obviously loves her too. That's about the nicest thing I can say :)

Sorry, that's just my personality, bit of a flaw, I guess....and yeah, I know that no one's trying to persuade me to become a Team Maxon person, I just prefer to try to have at least one person supporting Aspen, since everyone here is supporting Maxon, pretty much. (Not much of a discussion....)

And it's ok to insult me? For using Siri to voice type and not catching it spelling teen instead of team? It's just a book. If you have such a strong opinion, what the heck is the matter with someone else having just as strong of an opinion? It's all just freaking fiction. Let us all have our own opinions. And not be hypocritical.

AND ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE STRICT WITH GRAMMAR, WICH YOU MISSPELLED BY THE WAY, there are a bunch of typos on the topic. Get over it.

THIS IS FOR OPINIONS. SO LET PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN. CONGRATS YOU'RE TEAM ASPEN. It's just fiction and life will go on.

Hmmm....take a chill pill, first of all, and second that was a little hypocritical of yourself
You're telling grammar correcting people to get over typos. But...
You say every one has their own opinion, so shouldn't grammar strict people have their own. They're trying to correct you, helping the American education, sort of, and you can correct them. You can do whatever you want on this discussion.

I feel like you're restricting people, if you wanted to state your opinion with less chances to have oppositions just write it in your review.


This is a discussion where we challenge people's opinion, so if you can't handle it calmly.....you might not get it a calm response

I like Maxon, sure, I don't detest him by any means, he just is boring....he's a character where I feel kind of aggravated when he does stuff like kissing other girls or watching on the side line, but I know he's I'm the selection but maybe I don't like because he is in the selection and maybe he watches on the side line because he's a prince but maybe I don't like him being a prince

Idk we're crazy AWESOME being Aspenicans

( I know the first joke was corny but the Aspen-icans is something I came up with and worked really hard on it so.....pretty pretty please make Aspenicans catch on. If you don't get it it's aspen plus American since her name is America ...hahaha....yah....... It's sad......judge all you want........it's really really sad but.....but but but....) ASPENICANS

( now I feel like it sounds like Dominicans form the Dominican Republic, weird right?( wait don't respond to that))

This may contain typos. I just stated that it's not nice to make fun of somebody who made a mistake with typos. And by poking fun it is most certainly not correcting and educating America If this is about pushing each other's opinion on someone else I think that is stupid. I think everyone should have their own opinion. How the heck am I restricting people anyway? Is it by saying that everybody can have their own opinion? Are you trying to say that people should be nice? Or that they can't have Their own opinion? Are we supposed to sit by and let other people tell us how to think? I think not. Because it doesn't seem like that. And I don't care if I don't get a calm response. I can just get right back into it.

I totally thing you can, and I the typos I'm a okay with cause frankly I'm horrible at grammar, you can even ask my English teacher.

Also, everyone can use a little fix here and there, and every time we learn something making us a little bit smarter and well you probably get the jest of what I'm saying but you think is utterly wrong and it hurts people's so you can stick to that idea, but fixes helps us learn, learning makes us smarter, the more smarter we are the More smarter America is. Helping educating America

Everyone should have their own opinion, yes

You're restricting people by saying, "Don't tell me what I should think!" So you're basically saying don't say anything or try anything that goes against or changes, because I want to stick to my own way. Then there nothing for us to say but agreeing and it restricts us to just agreeing with you

Yes I THINK people are nice, but are they nice....ehhhh nope and I'm fine with it....just...you know...being optimistic

Calm is okay, angry is too, whatever floats Your boat :)

I don't believe it's ok to tell someone how to think. If that is restricting then so be it. What if I told you to think like I say is that ok? No it's not and therefore by me saying so is a restriction (WHICH I STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH), its one I believe should be put in place. In my opinion, no one should tell ANYONE how they should think. At least not on a book discussion. Sure maybe trying to sway someone's opinion or staring what you believe, but not telling someone they have to have your views.

And yes I can see your grammar is atrocious.

Getting corrected is one thing. Being mocked by a typo is another thing all together. Honestly I am very well educated and try to check them all the time. Depending I how pissed off I am.

Yes, I see you point of view, but every time I seem it state my OPINION you seem against , and I for one am okay with it cause I get to discuss it but

I could also be saying right now that "It's my opinion don't tell me what to think" but I'm not cause that's what we do to dicuss.

You're also saying that its not okay to tell what others should think, that restricts others from vocing their opinions to tell other what to think. Telling what others should think isn't wrong, but letting others telling you what think can be. You assuming everyone gives into others but they don't and that's what makes this discussion great. And a book discussion is a place I like to voice to others what I think may change their mind and look at this love triangle I a different way, maybe have my perspective changed or challenged

I'm going to have to agree to disagree. You are welcome to think its ok to tell people what to believe. I just don't agree with it. But you can go on doing so. And it WILL not change mine. I am merely defending my opinion not forcing you to agree. And I will AWALYS defend what I feel strongly about. So if by commenting to all of yours and stating my opinion is "being against yours" so be it.


In my opinion, Someone can say "no Maxon and America belong together." But I think it's wrong to say I think they belong together and you have to too.

I've said my peace and am probably to old to be going back and forth with someone who hasn't even finished college or gone to it yet. (Just a guess) and although that sounds mean, its not meant to be. so back to commenting on how I'm team Maxon. And hoping they rule the kingdom with a bit of democracy.
