Brief Summary Of Tri's Story

That feels important” (Roth 485). After all of the chaos Tris finds that she can barely believe her parents died, yet she understands that why they did was important. They wanted to save their daughter and give her a future instead of letting it end so soon. This allows Tris to understand how important her life is and shows readers how bad events, such as death, may end up having a hidden meaning of happiness. In short, the fact that Divergent displays such a strong picture of innocence and growing up is an obvious reason it should not be

TRICOR exists because the legislature enacted law that governed how the State of Tennessee could assist the Tennessee Department of Correction with their incarcerated population. The goal of the law was for TRICOR to aid in the development of programing that would give inmates or offenders life skills for when they are released back into society. The main concept and mission for TRICOR is to prepare offenders for life after release (TRICOR, 2016).

Aside from the tone that Tribbia uses, she also leaves the character ungendered and the brother unnamed. By doing so, she helps the reader understand that the memory is the detail that is most important, and not the way the brother is identified. This further allows the reader to visualize the brother in a way that they want to, which may cause a more distinctive feeling. And by leaving the character ungendered, Tribbia enables the reader to put themselves in the

In the book Allegiant, by Veronica Roth, there is one big conflict that causes the other conflicts throughout the book. The big conflict is that the Allegiant are uprising against Evelyn and the Factionless. The Bureau is in charge of the city, but the citizens do not know that they exist. To stop everyone from killing themselves, the Bureau decides to reset everyone's memories with the memory serum. Tobias joins an uprising against the Bureau. After the uprising, he realized that they were trying to find the death serum. Tobias felt bad for taking part in the rebellion and Tris was on the verge of breaking up with him. Then, Tris forms her own group and plans to save the city from the memory serum. One problem is that in order to save the city, Caleb has to die because of the death serum. Tobias and the others were trying to settle the dispute between his mother, Evelyn, and his father, Marcus. Instead of Caleb dying, Tris

Or go to a different faction, and will her life the way she wants. She is scared but knowing that, that’s ok. She learns how to control her fears and not let them control her. When Tris goes into simulation, one of her fears is her killing her family. By facing her fears in the simulation she is able to overcome them and becomes braver and stronger. She finds her identity and finds her ability to be different can’t be controlled. With her confidence growing she finds she is ready to take on more obstacles. Tris teaches us that it is okay to be scared and that we don’t have to be fearless, but that we can learn to control our fear. In the real world most people cling to their fears because facing them seems too hard. Instead, like Tris, we need to learn to climb up that mountain and face them head on.

This happens when she is preparing to choose her fate and move to a place that she truly belongs in. But, when she discovers that there is such thing as a “divergent”, and that she is one, she gets very confused. Tori, the girl that reveals to Tris that she is more different than she thought says “ ‘[...] under no circumstances should you share [that you are Divergent] with anyone” (Roth 21). Tris then has to change how she acts in simulations, which reveal fears by copying certain parts of someone’s mind, and go on without using her secret abilities of being able to alter her mindset and got out of simulations easily. The book even divulges that,“ ‘[...] if they discover what you are, they will kill you’ “ (Roth 257). This shows that the government is trying to rid the world of all divergent, including Tris.

He did this by showing Tris that their is always a larger consequence for her reckless actions. For example, he saved her from execution by planning an escape, but since Four saved her she realized that her life is very important.

Sorry, it has been a while since I last wrote. I am working 12 hours overnight shifts on the weekends, and it is killing me. Although I have been sick I do not think it was a virus; I believe it was from work. Working or staying up all night does not agree with my body and bouncing to day shifts to evening shifts makes it worse. My grandson got his first hair cut yesterday, and I will try and send you a picture. He is 14 months old now, and he is never still, so the beautician had a hard time. Even as a baby he moved and always cooed, so I call him Twisty. His name is Leland Tristian, but his parents want him to be called Tristian which I cannot understand. If you are going to call a child something why not give him that for a first name?

initiation ceremony and changes her name to Tris. These examples show clearly the overlap of

This is one of the first paragraphs in the book. It really gives a clear message to what this story is really going to entail. For example, the grief Tris will have to accommodate to for killing her friend Will. How she and Tobias are now fugitives and must never stay in one place for too long. Lastly, how Tobias and her relationship forms and grows.

While breaking into Erudite on their mission, Tris had to go through a simulation and when she walked into the room, the room announced who she was, “Beatrice Prior, second generation. Faction of origin: Abnegation. Selected faction: Dauntless. Confirmed Divergent.” (Roth 488). This quote shows that when Tris walked into the room and the room knew her identity, she knew that it was true, Tris knew that she was divergent and also will be. She also knew that she chose Dauntless and that is her faction at heart, but she will always remember that she was born and raised in Abnegation. A second way Tris wants to find out about identity is at the end of the book, when another character named Edith Prior shows up in the story. Tris wants to find out who she is and if she is related to her. The last way Tris finds out more about her identity is when she realizes that she has lied, kept secrets from and and gone behind Tobias back. Tris probably didn’t realize before that she is living a bunch of lies and had kept secrets from Tobias. Tris was seen as a threat and a traitor. This proves that she now knows that she should be more open about things and tell the truth. Ultimately, Tris knows she is divergent and that is what makes her special. She also want to figure out who Edith Prior is, she may be related to her. Lastly, Tris learns that she should tell truth so she won’t be seen as a threat, and so that

Beatrice (Tris) Prior joins Dauntless and made new friends. She volunteered to take place of Albert when Eric tells Four to throw knifes at him. She could have gotten killed and hurt by the knife, but she did so anyways. She gave up her own life to protect Al, even though she was afraid. “The last thing I want to do is stand in front of that target, but I can’t back down now. I didn’t leave myself the option.”(Page 162) This shows that she values her friends more than herself so she sacrificed her life in order to protect her friends. Tris’s mother got herself killed by brain washed soldiers in order to get Tris to safety at a basement where some of the Abnegation citizens were hiding from the soldiers. “I’m going to distract them. You have to run as fast as you can.”(Page 443) This quote supports self

. Well... I'm still working on kind.” Four shows Tris the corrupt nature of the government, and they begin to work together to rebel against the government. Tris sees Four as a role model as she aspires to be as strong willed and courageous as Four is while fighting for the cause against the government.

Veronica’s success landed her in Forbes 2014 magazine as the sixth most profitable author in the world (web). Not to mention only at age 26 Chicago based Roth as one of the youngest writers to have such success (web). Divergent makes the reader think if they were in Tris’s shoes what they would choose. Would you want to be with your family? Or do you want to experience life and go with what the feel is the best thing in for themselves? The readers tend to fall with Trish and the guy she falls in love with. As a critique tells us “Veronica Roth’s Divergent was based around many aspects, but what I like the most about this book was that it displays the not only the relationship that Tris had with four” (web). Tris the main character of Divergent gave the fans a connection with the young teen. “Divergent by Veronica Roth is, for all good and bad, a young adult book, carrying with it all the troops and ideological perfection unnecessary when writing sixteen year old stuff” (web). The book really showed readers that it is okay to choose who they want to be in life and to take the consequences of it. It might be the best thing they do in life or the worst but the best part of it all is that

At one point in time, all beings on this Earth have faced a conceited appetite that derives from envy, greed, hatred or lust. Whether hogging the remote control from irritable siblings or making a crucial decision which benefits one are the verdicts, this gluttonous behaviour is one that can only lead to woe. Similarly, Anton Chekhov’s “A Trifle From Life” and Kate Chopin’s “The Story of an Hour”, display the after-effects of a selfish demeanour. Chekhov’s character Belyaev selfishly coaxes a naive boy for answers, which consequently sparks a monstrous argument between him and his lover, Olga. Moreover, Chopin’s protagonist Louise egotistically finds euphoria in the presumed death of her husband, resulting in her own demise. Therefore, the moral compass of both Louise Mallard and Nikolai Ilitch Belyaev are narcissistic; thus showcasing that avaricious behaviour, ironically, originates both adults' downfall.
