Factions
Dauntless- fighting/fearless
Erudite- great knowledge
Abnegation- to refuse or deny one-self
Amity- friendship/peaceful
Candor- being frank, open, and sincere
Divergent
This book review is on Divergent by Veronica Roth; it is the
first book in a series of three. The main character is Beatris Prior. The city
is in Chicago in the near future. The book starts off with Beatris turning six-teen
and currently living in the abnegation fraction. Beatris, her brother Caleb and all other
six-teen year olds have to go through a simulated test that helps them
determine which fraction they belong in.
They then attend the choosing ceremony to decide which faction they
belong in. The factions are groups and or desires in which they are involved in
and share a common interest. For
instance, the dauntless faction is a faction that involves fighting; fear is
not an issue, and their source if entertainment would be anything that gives
them an adrenaline rush. There is excitement throughout the book and the
description allows the reader to picture every step in there head. “One choice can transform you” (Roth). This
quote is off the cover, it immediately shows how intense each decision is, in
the story.
The day Beatris turned six-teen was the day her whole life
started over. Her procedure for finding out which faction she belonged in was
very interesting. Her results were very different then others. She learned that
she was Divergent. Beatris learned that telling this secret to her family or
friends could potentially make her faction less, or worse dead. The term
faction less means they are they are kicked out of their fraction and not
allowed to enter another, they are poor, out of luck, left alone, no job or
money. As her simulation ended she had to decide which faction she was going to
pick (at the top are the choices). Her
heart was pounding like a drum, and her body was shivering like it was -5
outside. It was the one choice that would decide the rest of her life.
