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

Divergent is a movie (and book), that takes place in a dystopian future. The society that these people live in are divided into five factions: Candor (the honest), Dauntless (the brave), Abnegation (the selfless), Amity (the kind), and Erudite (the intelligent). The main character, Beatrice Prior, is from Abnegation. Once an individual reaches adulthood, they have to take an aptitude test which helps them determine which faction they truly are. Once the test reveals their true faction, they get the option to stay with their current faction, or leave and join a new faction. Once they choose their faction at the Choosing Ceremony, they must commit to that faction for life. Beatrice has

Divergent is a film packed full of shadowed reality. If you choose to watch this movie with an open mind you will quickly see the connections between the movie and todays social and cultural norms. The opening scene begins by explaining their cultural groups. Followed by a movie full of requirements to succeed, expectations required by the selected faction, and patterns seen still today. If you fail to find your place you are casted out, unless you prove yourself to be worthy. I believe this reflects our culture and society perfectly. Our society selects groups to which we should belong. While many will find their place many more will never find the place they are told they need to belong. Within this movie they even show the results of those who never fit into a group. These people are referred to as the “factionless”. Yet even those who find a group quickly find out they find are nothing without their “people”. Do we not struggle politically due to all the different groups and mind sets that America holds? Making decisions as a society becomes a ruthless challenge. Our leader’s heads collide followed by clashing beliefs. In this movie Beatrice speaks truth about leaders, she says, “Because we are public servants we are trusted to run the government. My father works alongside our leader, Marcus. It all works, everybody knows where they belong. Except for me” (Burger, 2011). Is this not exactly the struggle of our society? We have our leaders,

A common answer to a question people are always debating over is whether the book or the movie is better. So which one is better, the Divergent book or the Divergent movie? When comparing and contrasting the Divergent book and the movie based off of the book, you notice there are some features that are the same, and some features that are different. Some examples of these features are the details, the process, and the accuracy.

One book that is very similar to this book is Divergent by Veronica Roth. This book is a ‘sequel’ to the whole Divergent series technically. One part of the book that is similar is the fight scenes. In the beginning of the book, Four is training at Dauntless and he starts to train and learn how to fight. Which also happens in the book Divergent. Both characters, Tris and Four, aren't the best at fighting and have to learn. Four has to fight Eric. Four wins the fight against Eric and Eric is obviously mad and we learn in that in Divergent, Eric is still mad about the whole thing and switches up the rules for Tris and Peter’s fight. But Tris ends up losing and Four walks away from the fight because he can’t watch Tris get hurt.

In life, each person, book, movie, and much more contains a worldview or outlook on life as a whole. Lao Tzu states that a worldview is, “When people see some things as beautiful, other things become ugly. When people see some things as good, other things become bad.” Despite the fact that most people, movies, books, and other components in life do not realize that they have a worldview, in reality, they actually do. One specific example of an element in society that contains a worldview, is the action-filled and world-renowned book entitled Divergent. This specific element contains a striking plotline, worldview, and purpose in order to catch the attention of people around the world.

Veronica Roth’s dystopian series, Divergent, takes place in a futuristic Chicago, where society is divided into five factions. Beatrice, an Abnegation born, is what they call Divergent, meaning that she does not fit into any one faction. She transfers to Dauntless and begins to find out the many secrets being kept from the citizens. Tris soon realizes that the factions are not all what they claim to be. Dauntless is turning into a ruthless army, Erudite into a greedy faction wanting power, and Candor has been lying by hiding unknown facts from the other factions. One theme that develops throughout this series is this: A utopian society does not exist, even if there was a good idea to start out with, corruption will always occur.

The first scene being discussed in this essay will be when Beatrice has to go through her aptitude test. At this time, in the movie, Beatrice was thrown into a

Divergent is a fictional book based on the different ways of life in societies. In this book, once you are 16, you get to decide what faction, or group, you want to live in for the rest of your life. 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 Hunger Games takes place in a post-civil-war country that has been divided into 12 districts. Katniss Everdeen lives in district 12 and competes in the yearly Hunger Games. She is not given a choice in this matter. Once she wins, she rebels against the government and fights to fix the districts. Divergent, a series by Veronica Roth, is a failed Utopia where each person has to choose which faction they want to be a part of for the rest of their life. Tris chooses Dauntless, and then discovers she is Divergent, a rare trait that could lead to being disowned by her society. This helps her to rebel against the government that is controlling people in her faction.

The Divergent movie and novel are very popular in the teenage demographic the book was so successful that the made a movie out of it but they do certainly have a lot of these in common but they also have a lot of differences. The movie has taken out a lot of what made Divergent’s characters interesting since they have a limited time to work with they leave out a lot of details that make the people who went to see the movie disappointed and frustrated with the lack of effort of dedication that was put in the book but the movie lacks. There are always things that are missing in the movie adaptation of a book because a person can make a book as long as they want to but with a movie it had to be maximum three hours.

My two novels, Divergent and The Maze Runner, have many similarities that I would like to discuss. Firstly, both novels focused on being thrust into a brand new world that the characters were not used to. Thomas(The Maze Runner protagonist)started off the book with him waking up inside of a cargo box, traveling upwards at an incredibly high speed, and with only the memory of his name. When Tris decided to join the Dauntless, she immediately had to adapt and change, from jumping from trains and buildings to fighting someone until submission or decommission. To add onto that, despite being both unfamiliar with their new lives, they were able to adapt fairly quickly with Tris being first in the second and third round of initiation, and

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.
