Best/ Worst parts about book

I am about about a quarter of the way through "Divergent" by Veronica Roth. I am enjoying the book. So far there have multiple (but small) climaxes that help make the book captivating. One thing that I don't like about this book is that it takes a long time to really get into the book. I think this because I think I am pretty far into the the story, but nothing major has happened yet (my friend who has finished this book has informed me of this). I also don't like how the characters are introduced. There are many characters in this book, and a lot of them get a very small introduction. It can be difficult to imagine (and remember) them while reading. Other than these things, I really like the way the book is set up: setting, conflict, imagery, ect. The way Veronica Roth wrote this book makes room for lots of action and suspense.

The most important line from chapter eleven in Divergent by Veronica Roth is on page 122 where Tris says to Christina, "'What do you think is out there?' I nod to the doorway. 'I mean, beyond the fence.'"(Roth 122). After this quote, Christina says farms, and beyond that, monsters, but she is only joking. Tris says this when she and Christina (along with the rest of their group) are on a train. Tris' curiosity about what is beyond the fence is mentioned two more times in this chapter. This specific line is important because it drives the plot forward by adding suspense. It makes the reader want to know what lies beyond the fence.

The most important line from chapter ten in Divergent by Veronica Roth is on page 116 where it says, "I used to look forward to that day. I used to think about what I would say to my mother and father when I was allowed to ask them questions at the dinner table." (Roth 116). In this line, Tris is talking about the time when initiates will be able to see their families for the first time since the choosing ceremony. Tris' parents did not approve her choice to move to Dauntless from Abnegation, so she doubt that her parents will come see her. This is an important line because it characterizes Tris in that she is doubtful and somewhat disappointed in her parents for not supporting her decision. I know this because on page 117, it says, "I clench my teeth as the tears come. I am fed up." (Roth 117). This line is showing how Tris reacts to the though of her parents not wanting to see her.

The most important line of chapter nine in Divergent by Veronica Roth is on page 99. It says, "'Stop!' wails Christina as Molly pulls her foot back to kick again. She holds out a hand. 'Stop! I'm done.'" (Roth 99). This happens when Christina is very injured from fighting Molly and can't handle fighting anymore. This line is important because after she says this, Eric makes her hang from the chasm for five minutes to prove she is not a coward. This task is not only extremely difficult for Christina, but for Tris too, because she is forced to watch her only friend in Dauntless suffer and come close to dying. Luckily, Christina survives the five minutes, but this shows the group that giving in to pain is not an option; you have to keep fighting.
