Divergent

Despite Roth’s commentary on social stratification, Divergent feels less like a dystopian allegory and more like teenage angst with a bit of romance and lots of violence thrown in. There is little reference to social or political strife (Erudite seems to want control simply for the sake of being in power, not because of misgovernment by Abnegation), and no real exposition to show how greatly the dystopian society of the future is different than the society of today. The novel neglects to explore the causes of the Great War (an important factor to the birth of a factionalized society) and fails to plausibly convey how such a political and social system could exist 100 years without confrontation and uprising. Why would each faction cede power to one other faction (effectively silencing their own voices) rather than opt for a government run by a council of equal number of

Divergent is a dystopian novel that takes place in a futuristic Chicago. The setting also looks like a perfect Utopia, but as you go on reading you find out that it has a lot of problems. In the novel there was a war that was caused by differences in people's ideologies. The war caused Chicago to be divided into five factions. Each faction has a virtue which they value and cultivate.

Another thing that I liked about the book is that at the beginning, the wake/vigil/funeral was so accurately described. Funerals are awkward, tiring, and numbing. Meursault

I did actually really like this book. I was not sure if I was going to enjoy it when the project was first assigned, but after reading for a while, I became really interested

I wouldn’t recommend this book to the average reader. It is a bit hard to read because the author goes into so much depth that the reader could very often forget the main idea. It is a good, informative book but a bit drawn out.

The book starts out strong and extremely informational, slows down extremely in the middle chapters and ends in theory, which is somewhat thought provoking.

There are five preset factions containing the selfless, the brave, the intelligent, the peaceful and the honest. Tris, (whose name was Beatrice Prior, before switching out) got inconclusive results on her pre-test which was supposed to help determine where she should go. Getting inconclusive results, which rarely happens, names you Divergent, and is for some reason considered “dangerous.”

The title of each part has a great significance of the main purpose of the content. The Divergent means “differing from each other or from a standard” (“Divergent”). refers to pluralism and inclusion within abilities and skills or even thoughts and personalities as the main characters, Beatrice and Tobias, who possess several features which make them the most precious prey in the society, and this is going to be discussed in details. While the second part Insurgent which means “a person who fights against an established government or authority” (“Insurgent”). The title has such a fiery tone as well as enthusiasm.
