Divergent

Divergent is a provocative novel that is my current treasured read. This dystopian, Sci-fi novel written by Veronica Roth is an exclusive novel that captivates readers instantaneously. This novel begins with Tris Prior, an Abnegation born child, thinking about the choice that will change her life just days away from the choosing ceremony. Tris Prior is a short, blond girl that is impulsive yet kind. In fact, she is intelligent in her own manner. Tris has a tendency to think through situations extremely well (this skill is very useful in the world she lives in). The world Tris Prior lives in is separated into 5 different factions. Each faction is based on who you are as a person. The Dauntless are known to be the brave, the Abnegation are
known to be selfless, the Amity are known to be peaceful, the Erudite are known to be intelligent, the Candor are known to be honest. Each faction has their own set of rules and rituals. Tris Prior was born as an Abnegation and she recently has been noticing how much she doesn’t belong in the Abnegation sector. The Abnegation are very restricted and they don’t allow any situations revolving around themselves. Tris felt as if she was being restricted so much, it almost felt as if she was carrying a ton on her shoulders. Alongside, the restrictions she doesn’t feel as if she belongs in such a community.
In this world, when you are 16 years old you get to choose which faction you want to go to or remain in at the choosing ceremony. However, before the day of the choosing ceremony all 16 year olds take an aptitude test which gives the teenager an idea of which faction they should chose. When Tris took her aptitude test her results came out inconclusive, meaning she is Divergent. In this world when you are Divergent you get executed since you are only to fit into one faction, unless you keep your divergence a secret. When you are Divergent you belong to more than one faction. The next day, with this confusion in mind at the choosing ceremony, she choose to be Dauntless as she has always admired the beauty of the way the dauntless performed their vigourous acts that portrayed bravery. She begins to gradually ease into the dauntless atmosphere and keeping her divergence a secret was going very smoothly. At Dauntless headquarters, you must take an initiation test to see if you truly fit in with the Dauntless- you must not show any acts of cowardliness. Tris gets considerable training from her instructor Four who has guided her extensively throughout this initiation
process. These 2 have a great deal of experiences they both have in common. Which leads them to share a relationship filled with love, greatness, and gratitude towards each other. As months pass by the most problematic situation begins to ease into place. Erudite and Dauntless work together to take over Abnegation. The Erudite feel Abnegation is controlling everything, as the Abnegation do work as the government leaders.
The Erudite have the stimulations and since they don’t have the manpower to do it, they are putting the Dauntless soldiers under stimulation and making them do the intricate work. As Tris is Divergent she doesn’t get affected by the simulations and the mind controls, meaning she is awake during the war. She had to sacrifice multiple innocent friends who truly didn’t deserve the death they suffered. Tris thoroughly thought out the bigger picture, you can sacrifice a few loved ones to save an entire community from being abolished. Following these sacrifices, Tris attempts to sneak into the Erudite headquarters to steal the data base that is currently holding the Dauntless soldiers minds hostage. Since, she couldn’t perform this intrepid act alone, she tagged Four along with her to assist her. Tris and Four, both fought off the guards and stole the database, letting the Dauntless realize what has happened, and the Erudite realize they have fallen between the tracks. Tris and Four both run off to the Amity sector to keep themselves secure momentarily. Read Insurgent to find out what is the outcome of this memorable and impotent
war.
