Divergent by Veronica Roth is a non-fiction novel. It is set in the future and it is very different from today, because people are divided into groups based on certain characteristics called factions. With this system, there are going to be problems because it is difficult to sort out all people because we all have multiple characteristics.
This idea started to make me think that being Divergent is a good thing, although it is taboo to the characters in the book. The characteristics that each faction represent (honesty, selflessness, peace, intelligence, and bravery) are all good things that should be valued equally. I don't think it's necessary to define your beliefs forever based on one choice, like it is in the book, because we gain maturity and knowledge over time. Tris is continuing to find this out in the story. I'm interested to see what she does with what she gains from being Divergent (belonging to multiple factions) later on in the book.
I love this book! I plan on seeing the movie! I totally agree with you about defining your beliefs based on one choice!
ReplyDeleteThis is a good book sorry, the series doesn't get better. Add some quotes from Tris because her voice is very unique. I think that you ideology lines up with most people's views, but you stand out with your desire to see what she gains for that single faction.
