Divergent by Veronica Roth

One theme that is present in almost all dystopian fiction is corrupted power. Often time, authors merge away from utopia and use a dysfunctional society that only benefit those in charge, to work around how corrupted power is established and held using social enforcement. Divergent and The Hunger Games are both modern futuristic novels about revolution written by 21st century authors, Veronica Roth and Suzanne Collins, which explore how corrupted power is achieved and upheld by: 1. The separation of the populations into hierarchies, and 2. Distractions from the reality of their lives, and withholding information through totalitarian governments. Although the two universes share the common trait of gaining and keeping power through violence,

In the divergent series written by Veronica Roth it tells a story of a young girl named Tris in this series Tris goes through a lot of events uncovering some of the mysteries a little at a time. The first book in the series is called divergent. In divergent Tris starts out as being an abnegation member. Abnegation is all about being selfless. Tris didn 't exactly like being abnegation but she didn’t mind it. In this book when you turn 18 you take certain test that go through mind control. In these tests they found out that Tris was divergent. Divergent in this book is an exactly excepted among the people.

In this fictional world, the Divergent book and the movie are very similar, yet different in some aspects. Divergent takes place in a society that is split into five factions, all with different values. The five factions are the Erudite, who value intelligence, the Abnegation, who value selflessness, the Dauntless, who value bravery, the Amity, who value peace, and the Candor, who value honesty. At the age of sixteen, you will be forced to decide the rest of your life at the Choosing Ceremony. There, you may stay with the faction you were born into, or transfer. The main character, Beatrice, or Tris, was a faction transfer from Abnegation to Dauntless, and was looked down upon by her father and old faction for doing so. The book and movie share

In conclusion, Veronica Roth is a very talented author. Even though many people think that the Divergent series is a rip-off of Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Game series, I believe that Roth is an original author who comes up with her own ideas. She is still young compared to other authors. She’s just beginning her writing career. Roth plans to stick to the sci-fi genre and base more of her books off of dystopian societies. She hopes to continue sparking questions in her readers’

A dystopia holds the illusion of being a perfect society, however, the reality is far from it. This type of society maintains control through corporate, bureaucratic, technological, moral or totalitarian measures. It breaks down the impetuous nature of humanity; it is the ultimate assassination of freedom. Literature that depicts dystopias, tend to follow a common archetype. Though similar in its foundation, dystopian literature can take on vastly different forms. This is observable in the novel 1984 by George Orwell, and the movie Divergent by Veronica Roth. The novel and the movie compare as well as differ regarding the aspects of their dystopian characteristics, controls, protagonists and figurative elements. Additionally, they both provide insight into our world today.

Published April 25th, 2011, Divergent follows its protagonist Beatrice “Tris” Prior and her life in a post-apocalyptic Chicago. In this society, people are divided up into factions: Abnegation, Dauntless, Erudite, Amity, and Candor. Each faction

Opinion: Of all of the characters in Divergent By: Veronica Roth the character Beatrice “Tris” Prior, is the bravest person in the book. Reason #1: Beatrice is very brave for switching factions, from Abnegation to Dauntless. Proof #1: During initiation Beatrice was bullied by some of the other initiates because she was from Abnegation.

This group of books is her only (as of right now) series. The Divergent series is about a sixteen-year-old who is struggling to fit into a world that is assumed to be perfect. She “faces fears head-on” and doesn’t need to think twice before doing so (Andriakos). In an interview, Roth explained how she faced anxiety as a child. In order to put this fear aside, she wrote stories.

While both The Hunger Games and Divergent are dystopian series with female leads that rebel and lose family, in Divergent the characters have more choice in their destiny while in the Hunger Games they live in fear of their future.

The book I chose to read for my October reading assignment is the third book in the Divergent series called Allegiant by Veronica Roth. Allegiant takes place in the future and is located in the United States. The plot is about what happened after scientists thought they could make humans “perfect” if they modified their genes. Afterward, they discovered if you add a quality or strengthen a quality in the genes it also makes a different quality lack. Consequently, instead of improving humanity, the modification caused “the purity war” where the people with pure genes and the people with “damaged” genes went against each other.

Veronica Roth is mostly known for her books from The Divergent Series. All her books so far have been a success but the most controversial one so far is Allegiant. The issue with this book is that the plot has similar references to other topics and can be a very cliché story. Veronica Roth’s Allegiant details on how the protagonist ends up dying like other typical stories and how suspense is added to the story just to be disappointed.

The Divergent series by Veronica Roth is a prime example of this type of age classification of reading material. The Divergent Series follows the trials and tribulations of Beatrice Prior as she strives to bring people of separate factions together to live in peace and harmony. Common Sense Media designates the three main books (Divergent, Insurgent, and Allegiant) as belonging to the 13+ age group. Another

I would recommend this book to a friend because this book is a dystopian page turner. This book leaves you wanting to know what happens next and a bit emotional toward the end. This is the next story to read for Hunger Games, Divergent, and Delirium fans.
