Consequences Of Society In Roth's 'Divergent'

Something that both novels share is the theme to follow your dreams. In Divergent, Tris wants to go to the Dauntless faction but thinks that she should stay in her current faction, Abnegation. She ends up going to Dauntless and pursuing her dreams of being in the Dauntless faction. “Then, with a gasp I can’t contain, I shift my hand forward, and my blood sizzles on the coals. I am selfish. I am brave.” This later proves to be helpful because of the simulation Dauntless puts the members in to take over the Abnegation faction. In The Giver,

Example from the book – an example of internal conflict from the book divergent is that she has trouble fitting in with the Dauntless in the beginning. An example of an external conflict from the book divergent is when the war that started on Abnegation. She needed to protect her family and her friends from the soldiers under the simulation shooting everyone. This is a huge problem for Tris and many other people.

The dauntless faction is basically the brave they also are the cities protection and law. In dauntless training you had to accomplish certain things in order to be a dauntless member.

The second truth about human nature in this book is that humans easily change, whether for the good or the bad. Different types of events can change a persons perspective on their views. When David went to war, he went from a highschool boy to someone who must become the best man he can be to survive. Penna also thought that David would only be gone a year and nothing would change, but throughout the book she realized everything would be different when he got back. Through this realization, she made new friends and got closer to her family.

An action made by someone can say alot about that person within first glance. In the Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, the author displays characters actions that show their motivations about conflict and other figures in the text. Tally and Shay are two best friends that have a streaky relationship because of their opposing opinions on the world and how they should live their lives. The relationship between the two slowly becomes worse and worse towards the end of the book. Both Tally and Shay’s emotions are expressed in the Uglies with revealing actions.

The main character in the book Divergent is a girl named Beatrice. Beatrice is developed throughout the book by having to do things that push her out of her comfort zone. Beatrice was born in the faction of Abnegation, where everything is simple and alike. Abnegation values selflessness, but Beatrice doesn’t feel like she is selfless. She decides to change to the faction of Dauntless, who values courage. Beatrice has to do things like jump off trains, and fight people to show she is courageous. She decides to start going byTris, because Beatrice won’t fit in with the dauntless. When Beatrice makes the decision to be a dauntless she says “My fathers eyes burn into mine with a look of accusation’. This is because it was selfish of

In a chaotic environment, some will sink into their negative emotions, but it can also make other people to become better, and this concept is shown by the prison experiment in Gladwell’s story and experience through the war in O’Brien friction. By using the same prison example from Gladwell, one of the volunteers states “I began to feel that I was loosing my identity, the person who volunteered to get me into this prison was distant from me, was remote, until finally I wasn’t that person, I was 416 I was really my number and 416 was really going to have to decide what to do” (158). The surroundings are more influential and powerful regarding to people’s behavior. It is not that someone will always be an evil in any given situation, in the

The society in 1984 is much different than it is in today’s society because are allowed to love, trust, and show compassion as in 1984 by George Orwell, there was a totalitarian society. Big brother is the center of society and people must obey him. He is portrayed as powerful and people must obey big brother and if they don’t they disappear. The society in 1984 believes that there is no such thing as love, trust, or hope. The people of Oceania are constantly under surveillance. The thought police have many different ways of watching people. They use telescreens, children, neighbors and coworkers are trained to watch you. There is little to no privacy in Oceania, you are always being watched.

Allegiant is the third and final book in the young adult dystopian fiction series written by Veronica Roth. The perspective of this book is shared between the two main characters, Tris and Tobias. They each narrate in alternating chapters, starting with Tris. The story begins with Tris, Christina, and Cara held captive by Evelyn inside an Erudite cell. They discuss the video shown in the last chapter of Insurgent. In the video, one of Tris's ancestors, Edith Prior, reveals that Divergents are necessary for the outside world and must not be harmed. Christina and Cara are anxiously waiting for Tobias to show up and let them go. Tris is only yearning to see what is outside the fence.

As our innovative world is rapidly moving into the future, technology is being invented and innovated at every turn. This technology ranges from top-notch video game systems to microscopic robots made to perform internal surgery. Although these impressive technological improvements were recently made, they are not entirely beneficial because this technology damages our social and learning skills, while also damaging us as humans.

"To say 'I accept' in an age like our own is to say that you accept concentration-camps, rubber truncheons, Hitler, Stalin, bombs, aeroplanes, tinned food, machine guns, putsches, purges, slogans, Bedaux belts, gas-masks, submarines, spies, provocateurs, press-censorship, secret prisons, aspirins, Hollywood films and political murder" (Bookshelf I).

We can and have harmed people; to the point of some committing suicide. Unfortunately, these tragedies are ignored by society. We need to teach children to have compaction from one another, however the majority are being selfish by only seeking likes and comments. Children need to be able to look at what there are doing to other

In Lord of the Flies, Golding uses society as an evil source. For example, throughout the story, the boys have adapted living on the island and have turned to savagery mode. In chapter 11, Simon's death is shown as an evil act because the boys brutally killed him, letting out their savagery urges. The boys were so concentrated in killing “the beast” as it “struggled forward… At once the crowd surged after it...leapt onto the beast, screamed, struck, bit, tore. There were no words, and no movements[of Simon] but the tearing of teeth and claws”(Golding 153). This quote illustrates that without societal constraints keeping humans from acting on their evil impulses, they are more likely to express their evilness. Golding uses the lack of society as an evil source to explain how people need structure. Moreover, evil also comes from society, when the police officers shoot the innocent people. The police after many days after Katrina in New Orleans, have been on guard with loaded guns and fired on“ a group of unarmed civilians, wounding a family of four and killing two..” (Lee 3). This quote demonstrates that the police are excessive when complications in the society arise.  This is important because humans have a difficult time containing evil from becoming a dominant force in our lives. The society enables the police to portray their lack of communication towards people. In Lord of the Flies and “Rumor to Fact in Tales of Post-Katrina Violence” has demonstrated that evil is
