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.

The movie Divergent is based off the acclaimed novel by Veronica Roth which has sold millions of copies world-wide. It is mainly a coming of age story in a dystopian society that is beginning to undergo a revolution. The lead heroine, Tris, must suffer many tragedies before realizing who she is told to be and who she really is. Many films in this genre have common thematic elements such as tragedy, conformity, and betrayal. Divergent is a story of coming of age, because Tris undertakes a transformation caused by a revolution in a society that was built to protect against such a revolt.

He did this by showing Tris that their is always a larger consequence for her reckless actions. For example, he saved her from execution by planning an escape, but since Four saved her she realized that her life is very important.

There are other quotes from some articles I found relating to Four a Divergent collection. For example, “these long narrative pieces illuminate the defining moments in Tobias's life.” The next quote says,” his Dauntless initiation, and the first clues that a foul plan is brewing in the leadership of two factions.” This explains that in the book, four has a plan and it won't come out like he wanted it to and he will be facing something big. The next is, “The Transfer,” “The Initiate,” and “The Son”. These were all parts of the book Four told from his point of view and his journey through them. The last quote is “ Tobias before he is stronger and confident” It's saying that he used to be a lot more than he is now at the end of the

This quote by Tobias (Four) really shows the issues in their relationship. At this point Tris is trying to get answers without Tobias knowing. She has promised him that she will no longer make stupid decisions that could end up killing her. However, Tobias discovered her plan and refuses to let her go on alone. In assents he is putting his life on the line just like she is, to prove a point to her.

The Dauntless are brave, the Candor are honest, the Erudite are intelligent, the Amity are peaceful, and the Abnegation are selfless. At the age of 16, people choose which faction they want to live in for the rest of their lives. Four is a character that

Tris finds Tobias held captive in a cell. She rapidly informs him of Uriah worsening condition and Nita's true motive. She accuses him once again of not trusting her. She leaves him feeling alone and guilty. Tobias is questioned and the verdict clears him of the accusations. Nita does not have the same fate and is sentenced to life in prison. Tris watches as Christina sits next to Uriah's lifeless body. Instead of thinking about her lost friend, Tris is painfully reminded of Tobias's distrust and betrayal. She would've ended her relationship when she talked to him in the cell, but it was too painful.

Tobias, her boyfriend, expresses his perception often and acts like a participant narrator, which “is a narrator that participates as a character within a story” (K+G). Tobias goes through an emotional roller coaster in many different relationships. One is with his inner conscious about ho he really is. He is a part of the Dauntless faction here they have no fear and do everything dangerous. Tobias has killed many of people and has felt nothing by doing so. As an inner thought he “is afraid of [his] considerable capacity to kill” (Roth 239). By seeing this side of Tobias we understand there is more to him than just someone who is a meathead. While other characters may only see one side, the reader sees all inner thoughts and outer actions. Tobias shares all his inner thoughts and feeling especially about how he feels about his parents. The parent situation is one no kid would ever want. His father is an abusive husband, father and causes Tobias’s mother to fake her death just to get away from him leaving Tobias alone. Tobias believes his parents are evil and has to choose between which one he wants to rebuild a relationship with, but what is he supposed to do when “both of his parents are evil? Get new parents” (Roth ). The conflict he reflects on is his inner feelings. Tobias goes back and forth from trying to trust his parents to thinking about how he used to be treated. The

The book, “Four: A Divergent Collection” (“Four” for short) by Veronica Roth, has a theme of “you need to be able to make your own decisions”. Tobias, nicknamed Four, takes his entrance exam to see which faction he will join; when it is his turn, he chooses Dauntless and goes through the initiation. He is really quick to finish the Fear Simulation, a simulation made to see how you handle your fears, and that is where the nickname Four comes from because he is one of the fastest to complete it at four minutes. This catches Jeanine’s, leader of the Erudite faction, attention and Four finds out that she told Max, former Dauntless leader, and the two started to have meetings discussing the future of the factions. Later on when Tris finally joins,
