The author decided to continue the story by giving chapters using Four’s perspective and by doing a time skip. If someone reads this book and hasn’t read the books published before Allegiant and expect to understand they will be disappointed. The ending itself is just complicated and confusing. Overall the author should have just ended the book after Tris’ death instead of adding more chapters. The time skip of two years and half causes many plot holes to appear. The reader is then left up to make theories and make ideas of what they believed happens

Good morning Selection Panel of the Australian Film Board. Today I am going to convince you that The Sapphires, directed by Wayne Blair is the perfect movie to enter the competition to represent Australia.

The main parts of the movie that stood out were; how it demonstrated the Australian value of perseverance, the difference between each individual character and the representation of the Aboriginal culture.

Divergence gives people the ability to control your mind control tests making it hard for people to be able to read you. And in this book the government doesn’t exactly like not having the power. So they were out to kill all divergent people.to stay alive at the day of choosing a different factions or your same faction Tris chose dauntless. The dauntless faction is basically the brave they also are the cities protection and law. In dauntless training you had to accomplish certain things in order to be a dauntless member.

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

This book is Four’s life before he met Tris, and when the meets Tris. So us readers get to see what life was like in Dauntless. We don’t really get to experience the jobs that they get after they become Dauntless because Eric and Candor decide to destroy Abnegation. The beginning of the book makes me consider how bad Four’s dad really was. Training was also interesting to see from another person’s perspective. We get to see Four’s struggle while he was training. No one helped him pass training even though he was Divergent. We also get to see how Four wants to leave Dauntless and become Factionless but then Tris comes along and he instantly falls in love with her and stays. There is one part of the book that becomes interesting. In Divergent, Tris does all of the combat fighting first. And in Four, they do fear landscapes first because they were trying something different. But the Dauntless don’t do experiments, they just want someone to manipulate. The main people of Dauntless and Jeanine become aware of things that they shouldn’t be aware of. Making a pawn means they want someone that is young because they are easier to ‘shape and mold’. It’s like creating someone that will help them make Dauntless the way that they want it to

Tris is trying to make herself feel like she should belong in Dauntless, her newly chosen faction when really she belongs with the Divergents. “A new place, a new name. I can be remade here. “Tris, I say firmly.” (Roth 60). Tris says that after she was the first

What is perseverance? Perseverance is the ability to go on when things seem hopeless. It is also a measure of success, or at least how much sacrifice one is willing to make in the name of success. As students, it is impossible to achieve personal success without having a goal, or direction. The goal and direction that often propels us to achieve is perseverance. Perseverance is the ability to forge ahead despite setbacks that threaten to undermine all efforts to succeed.

The ending of the Divergent series was very controversial. The readers were split into two sides: those who believed Tris's death was realistic, and those who thought it was out of character. The former side accepted Tris's decision to go into the death serum in her brother's place as believable. They thought it was a natural action for Tris, even though Caleb betrayed her. The latter side saw Tris's decision as unbelievable. They didn't believe it was in Tris's nature to walk towards death for someone who stabbed her in the back. Allegiant is a prime example of how a person's decision can bring multiple reactions, good and bad. Roth didn't go the normal route of saving the main character. She made a decision that she knew would never please everyone, so she went with what she believed was

These are the Factionless. It is a status in which a person is not welcome into any faction. These are the people who failed to complete their initiation into whatever faction they chose and live in poverty, doing the work no one else wants to do. They are described as being homeless and even worse than death itself because the factionless have to suffer. They are mainly the garbage collectors. Janitors, and construction workers. It is a common practice for Abnegation to provide them food, clothes and medical attention. An aptitude test helps the residents to choose their faction. Through the aptitude test Tris finds out that she is Divergent, which means she can’t be categorized into one individual faction because she has an aptitude towards more than one faction. She has a potential to join Erudite, Abnegation and Dauntless. She comfortably doesn’t fit in any category so she decides to leave the faction in which she was reared (Abnegation) for Dauntless. Other than the themes of values like intelligence, selflessness, bravery, compassion, and honesty covered up by the five factions this novel encompasses various important themes like theme of Identity and choices, Fears and phobias, Societal class, Power, competition and bravery which Tris discovers throughout her journey in this
