The story begins on the day of the Aptitude test, a specific test that helps members of a futuristic society, choose a faction out of the five faction Abnegation (the selfless), Amity (the kind and peaceful), Dauntless (the brave and fearless), Erudite (the intelligent), and Candor (the honest). Sixteen year old Beatrice Prior is warned not to inform anyone about her test result not even her family, because she is divergent. On the day of the choosing ceremony, the day all sixteen year olds decide their future, Beatrice’s thought are drowned in confusion. She can’t decide which faction to choose, since the Aptitude test didn’t help her, but she finally chooses the Dauntless. To get to the Dauntless compound the initiates have to have to jump off a roof and into an underground tunnel. Beatrice decides to change her name to Tris after she jumps off the roof as the first initiate to jump. The transfer initiates are given a tour of the compound, once they reach the dormitories, one of the Dauntless leaders, Eric, tells them only ten of the initiates will become members at the end of initiation, the rest will become factionless. This is when Tris realizes that as the …show more content…

As Tris comes out of her second simulation, Four tells her that he knows she is divergent and that he will eradicate all of the proof, but she has to endeavor to hide it during the simulations. Tris gets terrified and goes to her aptitude test administrator to find out about divergence. When Tris gets ranked first for second stage, she sees Peter’s anger and frustration about not being in first place, and realizes that she is in

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. Despite the fact that her aptitude test was inconclusive, she picks Dauntless in light of the fact that she feels it will allow herself to find her identity. Upon choosing Dauntless her bravery naturally begins to develop, but she encounters some other changes as well. Tris forges friendships and relationships central to her identity, with people who bring out the best in her. This gives her a sense of belonging and instead of being perceived as an outcast because of her divergence, she gains many friendships. 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
Tobias begins his perspective, remembering the pain of seeing Tris dead while walking towards her cell. Tris immediately recognizes Tobias and embraces him. He explains how Evelyn took control and is denying exit through the fence. Evelyn does not want to help anyone outside the fence. She plans to put Tris, Christina, Cara, and the other prisoners under truth serum to convict them as traitors. Tobias tells Tris she will have to lie during the trial to avoid execution.
When a person hits a certain age, they had to choose the faction they wanted to be in. Once chosen, they could not take it back. This shows a sign of power over the people by forcing them into division. For Tris, it seemed like fun at first, she chose Dauntless and was learning the way. She was then told that if anyone did not pass the test, they would get kicked out and they would have to live factionless since they could not go back home. This puts things into perspective for Tris as she is now realizing that things are not a game. Nobody was told that information until they already picked their faction. This is another clue on how hard of a hold the government has on all of the factions. Jeanine Matthews is the head of Erudite, and injected a serum into the Dauntless people so they would execute all the people a part of Abnegation. The serum controls anyone injected. Government control is so heavy in the movie, and so many people are afraid to do anything about
Insurgent is the second book in the divergent. There are 4 books. Divergent insurgent Allegiant and four. For Divergent Insurgent and Allegiant, there are all movies but it’s only Allegiant part 1. There is no movie for four yet. The story is Tris is in Abnegation then at the choosing ceremony she chooses Dauntless. At Dauntless she meets a guy name four. She is divergent. Tris and Four grow closer together. Janine injects everyone with a control serum. But did doesn't work for divergent. And they go and kill Abnegation. Because Erudite wants to be the governing faction. Also for information. They Tris and Four are known as divergence. They go to Dauntless headquarters and shut down the serum. I read insurgent and it is my favorite out of
Chicago – Wednesday, Dauntless instructor Four saves Dauntless Initiate Tris Prior whom ranks first in stage 2 training then, gets attacked by three male initiates over the chasm, a spokesman said.
Which then leads to Eric, one of the erudite representatives to killing a young boy right beside her because he was not fully developed and useless. Beatrice remembers she has a knife in her back pocket and as Eric freakily explains why he would kill her she lurches forward and stabs him. Unfortunately he survives but has to go through extensive interrogation. As a result of that the leader of Candor, John Kang proposes a peace treaty with Erudite in which Jeanine declines and requests that they hand over Eric, provide her with the names of the divergent people he has knowledge of as well as sacrificing one divergent. Jack refused but he was obligated to because if he didn’t harm would come to his faction. He announced the requirements and that’s when Beatrice, her friends and the other dauntless members made the decision to head back home to the dauntless compound. Kang is absolutely floored and tries to stop them but they follow through with their decision. Later on the dauntless have an amazing time playing until Jeanine caught wind of their moving and sends a warning. Despite their meetings of deciding no one shall sacrifice themselves Beatrice goes behind their back and sacrifices herself to honor her parents who were killed during the
SUMMARY The reviewer, known as “Mitch”, on Goodreads.com argues that the dystopian novel, The Testing, written by Joelle Charbonneau, is an unoriginal concept based on The Hunger Games trilogy, written by Suzanne Collins. This unoriginality essentially turns this reviewer away from the book. “Mitch” starts off by stating that The Testing, as well as other dystopian novels, models The Hunger Games, written by Suzanne Collins. His criticism lies in the fact that Charbonneau essentially “ripped off” the style of The Hunger Games.
The novel Divergent written by Veronica Roth is about a young girl, Tris (Beatrice) prior. Tris chooses to change from her faction that she was born into, Abnegation, which is all about being selfless and are dedicated to helping others, into Dauntless, who are the protectors of the city and are about showing bravery and determination. Once Tris enters Dauntless she is faced by a lot of challenges. During Dauntless training Tris is trained by a dauntless member, Four. Four teaches Tris how to think and act like a Dauntless member. After a while they find out that the Dauntless aren't what they seem to be, and soon Tris and Four are separated and Tris must save not only four but her family as well.
Initiation day has come and now it is Beatrice’s big choosing day. Marcus is the head of counseling in Abnegation and the one rule for all factions is, “Faction before blood” he says. After this the children start to choose one after another. Before Beatrice is her brother
If not they will become fractionless. Initiates are ranked based on their skill and performance during training. During Tris’s admission to Dauntless transfers must jump out of a moving train onto a roof. Then transfers must jump off a seven-story building without knowing what lies at the bottom. Tris was the first out of all initiatiates to jump from the building. During knife-throwing practice Tris has an altercation with Eric; one of the leaders of Dauntless. Eric placed Al; a fellow dauntless initiate in front of a target regardless of Al's fear of getting hit by knives. Tris offered to stand in place of Al while Four; Tris’s instructor throws knives at the target behind her. 'We believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another.'" Will - Chapter 16, page 206. During a match of Capture the Flag, Tris is played a major part in her team's victory. Tris then becomes first in rankings and then becomes a dauntless
She wonders how each choice will affect the city and how it will affect her. The tagline of Insurgent is “one choice can destroy you” (Roth). Tris’ decision can destroy her, not literally, but emotionally. Deciding against Evelyn means deciding against Tobias, whom she trusts and loves. But deciding to go against Marcus and to help Evelyn’s plan succeed, means destroying an entire faction and killing more people. “How strange that something so simple could have been instrumental in my decision to ruin one of my most important relationships and friendships, and damage another” (Roth 155). Tris ultimately decides against Evelyn and Tobias is not happy with her. Not only does Tris have endless amounts of guilt swimming through her head, she has to decide the fate of her city. Actress Shailene Woodley, who plays Tris in the Divergent Trilogy movies, shared in an interview with Los Angeles Times, “it was fun to explore this Tris because she was going through so much more of an internal emotional battle than in the first movie. In the last film she lost her parents, she lost her best friend, so in this movie she’s dealing with a lot of guilt while also trying to figure out how to continue to aid the community that exists around her.” Tris’ final decision may define the final outcome for the community. When talking about if Tris will kill the main antagonist, Janine, in an interview with The Huffington Post, Roth says that Tris always has “her parents in her head, telling her what’s right and what’s wrong.” Tris listens to what she imagines her parents would tell her and that is where she bases her decisions
