Red Rising, by Pierce Brown, is a fiction book. It starts out with Darrow on this big machine that he uses to dig. He is a hell-diver after all. He has a very dangerous job. It starts off taking us into how depth Darrow's courage is. He jumps down in a giant dug out hole to see the gas pocket, so they don't have to call for help and waste hours of work. He hurts himself on the back but he is okay. Darrow thinks he has everything he could ever want; a home, family, a wife, and food. Eo shows him so much more. All the deep underground reds, have never seen anywhere besides underground, and when Eo shows him the grass, trees, and sounds of the wildlife, it was just the start of changing how Darrow felt about everything. They spend the night and when they come back down, Silver are waiting for them and the take them to cages. After a couple days they get whippings for what they did, and it is televised. Eo has had enough and she started doing something that would change everything forever. She started singing The Forbidden Song. The highest Gold was even there. They let her sing...but after, they had Eo hung. Darrow is weak in the heart after this and feels like he cannot go on anymore. He takes Eo's body and buries her where the slept outside the one night, one who are not soppoused to do this, and it leads to him getting hung. The situation feels like Romeo and Juliet exactly. Darrow wakes up in a tunnel with dirt over him. He was buried, and there walking to him is Dancer, Matteo, and Harmony. This is the start of the uprising. When they take him, and bring him to a house. They show him everything you cannot see from the woods. He sees the Golds flying with hover boots, drinking wine, and laughing about. They are giant and having the time of their lives. At this moment, when he takes it all in, he realizes that they have lied to him, to his family, and all the reds. They aren't pioneers shaping Mars for people,... they are slaves. Down below is a graph showing who is who.
