Have you ever read a book, and then watched the movie based off the book and realized that the movie was completely different from the book? This is what happened to the third movie in the Divergent series, Allegiant. This was not a complete surprise, with Insurgent, the second movie of the series, being a little off, but fans were not expecting a whole different story. Although it has an amazing cast Allegiant in the Divergent series, is frustrating for many teenagers and young adults who have read the books because the screenwriters for the movie did not follow a lot of the book’s original story. Some of the changed elements included missing characters, changed and missing scenes, relationships and points of view. Warning, there will be spoilers.

The actual production of the Divergent movie and the book are very different, but also similar. After a book goes through its process of writing, editing, and publishing, all you need to do is to have book stores sell your books. When producing a movie, you need to write a script, cast the actors in the movie, give them time to read over the script, and then finally start shooting. Although, both always have a connection with the author of the book. When a director wants to produce a movie, the author is somehow weaved into the process of the movie.

The faction you choose defines you more than anything else does. Tris was confronted with two choices: stay with her family in Abnegation, where she grew up or move to another faction and start anew.

By the end of the novel, she is fully aware of herself as Divergent - someone who does not fit in or belong, but who cannot be controlled. The events toward the end of the novel underline who Tris has been - considerate - and who she wants to become - dauntless. Divergent places huge importance on coming to terms with your identity and belonging, furthermore, at last, Tris acknowledges that she will never fit perfectly anywhere; and she must form her own pathway through her own
