Pure Genes In Divergent By Beatrice Tris

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. The five factions are Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless, and Erudite. The Abnegation faction values selflessness, the Amity peace, the Candor honesty, the Dauntless bravery, and the Erudite intelligence. Throughout the novel the main character is Tris which was born in Abnegation and chose to go to the Dauntless faction. Chicago in the novel is governed by a group of people from

The war was terrible, the whole world was destroyed. The last city left divided themselves into five factions to keep the peace. The smart ones are classified Erudite. Amity are always kind, Candor value honesty, Dauntless are brave, and Abnegation are selfless. The system works because everyone knows where they belong; everyone except for Tris. In the novel Divergent, by Veronica Roth, Tris demonstrates perseverance; this is shown through how she is able to step out of her comfort zone, always remains undeterred, and can overcome obstacles.

Gregory Stock, in his article Choosing Our Genes, asserts that at this point not ethics are important, but rather the future of genetic technology. Stock supports his conclusion by providing powerful examples of how genetic modifications can benefit our population anywhere from correcting genes at the time of conception to extending lifespan. He wants to inform his audience about all of the benefits of genetic technology in order to prove that there are way more advantages in this technology that are highly desirable by people of different ages. He reaches his readers by writing a very detailed yet coherent article that brings awareness to various groups of people from parents to be to older populations.

Each human being has something called DNA. DNA is described as genetics and an extremely long macromolecule that is the main component of chromosomes and is the material that transfers genetic characteristics in all life forms. DNA constructs of two nucleotide strands coiled around each other in a ladder like arrangement with the sidepieces composed of alternating phosphate and deoxyribose units and the rungs composed of the purine and pyrimidine bases adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine. Each chromosome consist of one continuous thread-like molecule of DNA coiled tightly around proteins and contains a portion of the 6,400,000,000 basepairs that make up your DNA.

Debt The first chapter of Mean Genes talks about debt and the affect on humans and our irresponsible spending habits. There are a lot of examples and explanation on why we spend so much to get ourselves in debt and it also talks about solutions to fix or get rid of debt. Throughout the chapter there are many analogies between animals and humans. An example used is when it is winter time, squirrels try there hardest to store as much nuts as possible so when they have their babies in the spring they will have enough food so the newborns can survive, this relates back to humans because in order for “ human survival and reproduction” they need to save money which we as Americans can’t do because in America they promote earning and spending culture unlike in some countries like Japan where they don’t promote that but rather

When someone is born they do not get to choose their families. They are just born with two loving parents or maybe just a single person. When she or he reaches age sixteen they are just considered teens and not much is paid attention to it. In the book Divergent, Veronica Roth puts a new meaning to the age of young teens. They get to choose a fraction, and that fraction will stay with them for the rest of their life. A fraction in this book means a colony, a place where they think best suits them according to their characters and actions, also a test helps decide how to choose. Life seems to be more fascinating in Divergent. Veronica Roth the creator of Divergent fascinates the readers in creating a world

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

Have you ever wondered how life would be like if society was divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue ? What if you were different and did not belong in any of the given factions? Then you are a lot like Tris. Tris Prior is the main character in the dystopian novel Divergent, by Veronica Roth. She lives in a world where she must hide her true uniqueness as a Divergent individual, otherwise she puts her life at risk. Tris's aptitude test result was inconclusive, she has the ability to manipulate simulations and throughout the book she shows characteristics from different factions which concludes that she is Divergent. Divergence is to be special in the sense that you

Likewise, humanity can find themselves like Tris, where she is baptised with dangerous and unexpected titles in Divergent. The term “Divergent” is an impact of the life of the society in the novel. “Divergents” are described to be people with a diverse set of emotions, possibly bring unbalance to their orderly utopia. Tris never expected to be Divergent. However, she represents how human beings usually cope when faced with a disorderly circumstance. She describes her trait of diversity as if “‒someone breathed new air into my lungs.” (Roth 442) Insignificance, acceptance is a huge step to recognising self-identity. Tris has learned to define herself according to one of her most doubted moral. For instance, it was a huge breath for her to fully embrace her “Divergent-mind.” Similarly, men and women can learn from this as a life lesson as the unexpected can be the most beneficial on how they perceive themselves. Nevertheless, Tris also relies on the brave and selfish persona as a Dauntless initiate. Despite lived in a brave new world of adventure she realises the true definition of her bravery and bravery among others. Beforehand, Tris used to live in a complete opposite of dauntless where those dwelling lived upon pillars of selflessness. In a mature talk with Four about her experience in Dauntless, she states “‒that selfishness and bravery aren’t all that different.” (Roth 336) Even when traits have a reasonable contrast, those opposite contracts. For instance, Tris finds similarity between a discrepancy. Thus, it symbolises that believing that each emotion of one’s life builds upon each other creates a personality that can overcome the greatest of odds. In her time in Dauntless, Tris creates a friendship among many people, especially Christina. Christina was known as Tris’ first actual friend, due to the boundaries in Abnegation, her last faction. Over the course of the book, Tris and Christina

In divergent everyone starts out at the same level then when they reach sixteen they pick a faction to go to based on their personal skills. It’s also different because in the hunger games katniss everdeen's fate relies on her nature skills and how good she fights and Tris’s fate relies on how she acts in various situations. So instead of knowing how to use a bow and arrow she has to know how to control her mind. Now that we got the differences out of the way now let’s talk about how these two books are alike. In divergent jeanine injects tobias with a serum that causes him to mix up who his friends and enemies are so he starts to strangle tris. This resembles the hunger games because when the capitol gets peeta, they brainwash him into thinking katniss is an enemy so he tries to kill her every chance he gets. In both divergent and the hunger games the characters are extremely alike. The main girl characters, Katniss Everdeen and tris, resemble leadership and courage and both lose something as a result of a war. The main guy characters, peeta and four, are both giving a false reality and turn against the main girl

The scene when Dauntless people are injected by serums explain how Erudite tries to exploit people including Tris who belongs to that faction. Therefore, Tris fortunately cannot be controlled by them because the serum cannot affect to a divergent. Even though the serum cannot affect to the divergent, Tris still pretends to be controlled because, she sees a divergent who are not affected by the serum is killed after the authority detects that person. That is why she still has struggle against the exploitation and no power in this case. In order to protect herself, she should pretend to be controlled by

She accepted her destiny from people and failed to reach her capacity. Gattaca proves how society impedes individuals’ dreams and talents based on their genes.
