Tris has never really felt at home in Abnegation so she switches to Dauntless. Normally this would not be so harsh on her family, but her only brother also switches to another faction called Erudite leaving her parents with no family within Abnegation. This is Tris’s first betrayal and it makes her very guilty. After the choosing ceremony each faction goes through its own initiation. For Dauntless, the initiates must jump off a building in order to enter the compound. Generally the first jumper is a Dauntless born, but Tris is brave enough to go

The book divergent was about a girl name Beatrice Prior lives in a future version of Chicago where there are five distinct factions which is each factions thinks one virtue is best. Dauntless is bravery, Erudite is love and knowledge, Abnegation is pro-self-sacrifice, Amity is hearts and friendships, and lastly Candor is into telling it like it is. However at the age of 16 you'll be deciding what faction that'll determine your life’s course this is required every people that'll reach 16 will have to do this.

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

During many events in the movie, the idea that human nature gets in the way of society’s progress, shown through Jeanine’s remarks on human nature, for instance” it's an important ideal, but sometimes difficult to fulfill. It goes against our fundamental human nature. But that's exactly the weakness we need to overcome.”, and “The system removes the threat of anyone exercising their independent will. Divergent threaten that system.”. In these cases, Jeanine believes that human nature and morals are a weakness to the progress of society and is eliminated through the faction system where people are obliged to do what they are told. The second quote explains how divergents are a threat to the faction system with their ability to have free will. The factions system was set up in the movie to make sure that the Another example would be the initiation of the Dauntless initiation during the movie. During many scenarios, the initiates were put in positions that required them to hurt someone that cannot fend for themselves and is even exemplified when Four tells Tris during one of the simulations that “As a Dauntless soldier you have to follow orders you don't always agree with... She's an innocent... and I have to kill her. But I can never do it... unless I look away.” This quote from Four explains how the dauntless

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

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.

Instead of showing characteristics from just her new faction (Dauntless) or her old faction (Abnegation), Tris tends to show characteristics from other factions too such as Erudite. Her response to the dog in her aptitude test was considered intelligent and courageous because of the fact that she did not run in fear of getting attacked. Instead, she leaned down and was nice to the dog. In the Dauntless manifesto it states; “We believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another” and that is exactly what Tris did in two situations throughout the book. (Roth pg. 47) The Abnegation inside her shined through when she chose to jump on the visious dog to save the inoccent little girl who's intention was only to pet the dog. The second situation was when she stood up for Al and took his place in front of the target while Four threw knives.
