Divergent By Veronica Roth

I am currently halfway through the book Divergent by Veronica Roth. Beatrice a 16 year old girl is faced with the decision of leaving her family for her own good or staying with them and living an Abnegation lifestyle. Society is divided up into five factions. the Duantless (the brave), Abnegation(the selfless), Amity (the kind & peaceful), Erudite (the knowledgeable), and Candor (the honest). She realizes that she is not selfless enough to be Abnegation. Beatrices test results are inconclusive though. She could either be Abnegation, Duantless, or Erudite. Beatrice chooses Duantless. As she goes through initiation she learns about her strength and how she can use being divergent to her advantage. She finds herself mixed up in a romance with a faction transfer who also came from Abnegation. The line I find most significant in this book so far is, "I think we've made a mistake," he says softly. "We've all started to put down the virtues of the other factions in the process of bolstering our own. I don't want to do that . I want to be brave, and selfless and smart, and kind, and honest,'' (Roth 405). I find this quote very significant because it shows how the main characters which are Tris and Tobias are going to change society or so go against it. I predict that they will fight against the government and start a revolution towards change for the better. I think that people will become all of the qualities that Tobias wants to be and Tris who is a Divergent will use that to her advantage in the revolution.
