For the 1st quarter I chose to read, Divergent by Veronica Roth. The novel contains about 425 pages in total.
Beatrice Prior later know as Tris lives where the society is separated into five factions. Each faction believes that one is better than the other. Dauntless for bravery, Erudite for knowledge, Abnegation for self-sacrifice, Amity for friendship, and Candor for honesty. Beatrice grew up into an Abnegation family. Before attending the choosing ceremony the teens had to take a stimulation test to see which faction they truly belong in. Beatrice's test scores showed that she was a Divergent which is very rare, meaning she has many factions within herself, not just one. Once the choosing ceremony came Beatrice, Caleb (her older brother), and other teenagers went to choose their faction. Beatrice decided to chose Dauntless.
Joining Dauntless, Beatrice and other initiates has to go through series of initiation to make it through. While Beatrice is there she makes new friends; Al, Will, and Christina. Volunteering to go first, Beatrice jumps off a building and into a trampoline, where other Dauntless people were waiting. Here she changes her name to Tris meeting Four. She needs to compete with other Dauntless people to join while hiding that she is a Divergent. Knowing that the Erudite faction wanted to overthrow the Abnegation, Tris and Four goes and. . .
Throughout the parts I have read, I really enjoyed reading it. I liked reading this book because the author wrote details that were much needed to give myself an image of it. I would definitely recommend this book to read but if you don't really like to read I would also recommend the movie to watch.

Divergent seems to have a very different plot compared to other books which is good because it makes it unique and interesting. I like the way you used ellipsis, it left me in suspense.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of being "different" from the 5 factions. Makes the story line more intimidating.
ReplyDeleteI find the main character, Tris, admirable since she had real flaws that the reader can relate too and she doesn't let fear get the best of her.
ReplyDeleteI really liked how throughout the book you can see how Tris is finding out who she really is.
ReplyDeleteThis book is very good and I also love the imagery the author gives.
