Critical Summary Of Insurgent

The war was terrible, the whole world was destroyed. The last city left divided themselves into five factions to keep the peace. The smart ones are classified Erudite. Amity are always kind, Candor value honesty, Dauntless are brave, and Abnegation are selfless. The system works because everyone knows where they belong; everyone except for Tris. In the novel Divergent, by Veronica Roth, Tris demonstrates perseverance; this is shown through how she is able to step out of her comfort zone, always remains undeterred, and can overcome obstacles.

In response to the September 11 attacks, the United States should declare war on the responsible group. As a nation, we should do only the actions that bring about the best consequences, and the best consequences would occur by bringing the responsible group to justice. In this case, killing the Taliban and its supporters is the right action because it produces the greatest amount of good.

Two ways in which factions can be cured are by removing its causes, and controlling its effects. In other words, destroying the liberty essential to its existence and giving every citizen the same passions, opinions, and interests.

The book Days Of Destruction written by both Chris Hedges and Joe Sacco offers a first hand account into some of the United States most impoverished areas, some not only the most impoverished towns in the U.S. but also in the western hemisphere. The town of Pine Ridge, South Dakota acts as an example of the long-standing marginalization of Native Americans conducted by the U.S. government, which has been taking place for over a hundred and fifty years. The ramifications of the policies put into effect by the U.S. government can still be seen in present time in this small reservation town. While the town of Welch, West Virginia struggles in a similar fashion due to capitalist exploitation through the mistreatment of the coal mining companies that operate in the Appalachian Mountains. These companies mistreated, underpaid and stole property from its inhabitants, leaving them helpless to support themselves. Both of these small towns suffer from being oppressed by outside forces leaving the population in a desperate situation, unable to recover from past exploits

The War in Afghanistan has been an all consuming conflict for the US government since we started to launch air strikes on October 7, 2001. This is a conflict that’s been brewing since before the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. This war has the continuation of past conflicts in it, conflicts that can be connected a good deal to the interference of other large powers, such as the USSR. From keeping an eye on the oil reserves, pressuring Iran, and keeping Pakistan stable, our interests and motives for occupying Afghanistan are undeniably laced with many ulterior motives, providing us with the issue of unfavorable opinion and our interests being the source of terrorist attacks. Afghanistan is a country that has been plagued with

Tired, hungry, and largely outnumbered- the U.S. Rangers and The Delta troops found themselves in the midst of one of the deadliest warzones. President George Bush ordered the marines into Somalia, October 1992. However, no one expected it to turn out as one of the most horrific battles in history since the Vietnam War. President Bush originally ordered them to set out to help end hunger problems and food shortages in the poorer areas of Somalia, Little did he know how disastrous things would end up. October 3rd 1992, U.S. troops set out on the “Somali famine” mission on what they only believed to be an hour long.

On August 2nd, 1990 Iraqi military forces invaded and occupied the small Arab state of Kuwait. The order was given by Iraqi dictatorial president Saddam Hussein. His aim was apparently to take control Kuwait's oil reserves (despite its small size Kuwait is a huge oil producer; it has about 10 per cent of the world's oil reserves ).

On March 20, 2003, the combined military forces of the United States and Britain crossed the southern border of Iraq and Kuwait with the intent of capitulating the government of Saddam Hussein. Over the course of 21 days, the joint task force moved quickly and decisively to seize major objective cities along the road to Baghdad using aviation, armor, artillery, and infantry.

Insurgent is the second book in the Divergent series. In this book, Tris and Four, the main characters are fugitives, because they are divergent. Divergent are people whose minds cannot be controlled. For Jeanine Matthews this is a major problem because she believes that their society only functions because they have factions. There are five established factions; Dauntless, people who are brave and fearless, dress in black and have tattoos, and protect the city from the outside world. Amity, people who believe strongly in peace, dress in red and yellow and have green thumbs. Abnegation, people who are selfless, dress in gray and usually make up the governing body.
