Divergent by Veronica Roth


Beatrice "Tris" Prior has reached the fateful age of sixteen, the stage at which teenagers in Veronica Roth's dystopian Chicago must select which of five factions to join for life. Each faction represents a virtue: Candor, Abnegation, Dauntless, Amity, and Erudite. To the surprise of herself and her selfless Abnegation family, she chooses Dauntless, the path of courage. Her choice exposes her to the demanding, violent initiation rites of this group, but it also threatens to expose a personal secret that could place in mortal danger. Veronica Roth's young adult Divergent trilogy launches with a captivating adventure about love and loyalty playing out under most extreme circumstances.


  
 Hey guys! So Divergent is so freaking awesome!! Let me tell you I spent my whole entrie Sunday reading this! I love how kick ass Tris becomes throughout the book. Many things happen that caught me by surprise, which I like because most books now a days are so predictable. Divergent is filled with adventure, love, and betrayal. It's got it all!

 Well, in this book once you turn 16 you have to choose a faction. The reason why they are divided into factions is because their ancestors believed that the reason for warring words is because humans were becoming evil or doing evil things. So, five factions were made because they cannot agree apon which human personality was at fault. Those who blame aggression are the Amity, Candor blame duplicity, Erudite blame ignorance, Abnegation blame selfishness, and Dauntless blame cowardice. It helps it know what the five factions mean because it helps throughout the book. If I had to choose one faction it would be Daultless because everyone's so alive, like everything there is such a thrill!

 Beatrice is a born Abnegation. She doesn't want to abandon her parents but she doesn't like Abnegation much. She does believe that selfishness is the reason for acts of evil but she also believes it's cowardice. After living in Abnegation her whole life (having to be covered, everything gray, cannot look at mirrors, only can talk when spoken to) she chooses Dautless which is the complete opposite. And both factors are not very fond of each other. Once she get to Dautless and goes through the impossible to get there that's where she changes her name to Tris. Dautless is very exciting but it has it's downs. Tris has a deadly secret that could get her killed and if anyone finds out, Dautless would be the worst place to be with this kind of secret. But hiding this secret is not that easy as many problems start to arise.

 Bye ^__^
