Divergent
Divergent | Veronica Roth
This story takes place in the city of Chicago in the near future. The city is divided into 5 factions: Abnegation, meant for the selfless; Amity, meant for the peaceful; Candor, meant for the honest; Dauntless, meant for the brave; and Erudite,
meant for the knowledgeable. On a given day each year, all
sixteen-year-olds take an aptitude test that will tell them for which
faction they are best suited. After receiving the results of their test,
they must decide whether to remain with their family or transfer to a
new faction.
Sixteen-year-old Beatrice Prior was born into an Abnegation family,
but selflessness has never come naturally to her like it does to her
brother, Caleb. She feels lonely and constricted by her environment and
feels like she does not belong. When the time comes for Beatrice to take
her aptitude test, the results are inconclusive: instead of fitting
neatly into any one faction, she shows equal aptitude for three:
Abnegation, Erudite, and Dauntless. This makes her "Divergent" and she
is warned never to share this information with anyone for fear of her
life. Even for a Divergent, it is very rare to have results with three
factions. On her way home from the aptitude test, she encounters a
factionless man who grabs her hand and frightens her. This makes her
feel very nervous because she does not want to end up like him and is
worried about risking her normal lifestyle and failing. She does not
want to upset her father, who is certain that she will remain in
Abnegation even though she is skeptical.
On Choosing Day, much to her and her parents's surprise, Beatrice
makes the decision to leave Abnegation and join Dauntless, while her
brother Caleb chooses Erudite. She immediately leaves to join her new
faction and her new home. Beatrice, who renames herself Tris when she
reaches the Dauntless compound, becomes good friends with fellow
transfer initiates Christina, Al, and Will. Another transfer initiate,
Peter, quickly sets out to antagonize her as he does not believe Tris is
good enough to be in Dauntless. Peter also has two friends, Drew and
Molly, who back him up as he tortures Tris. She is also introduced to
their instructor, Four, who explains that they must pass an initiation
process before they are accepted as full-fledged Dauntless members. They
must rank in the top ten at the end of initiation, or else they will be
dismissed and become factionless.

We went to ECCC today. I am so happy that I got to meet Veronica Roth & Marissa Meyer.

Roth was so freaking nice! We joked and laughed about our crazy days and running late. I wish I had gotten a selfie with her...maybe next time.

This is one of my favorite books from when I was younger than I just reread. I love the action and the excitement. I also love Tris as a strong female mc!!

This book is similar to The Hunger Games trilogy, but has different elements. You could use this book to compare the different societies. I like how this book talks about being different and going against what society says you should do.

Books_Equals_Life I completely agree, and a third book that you can use to compare the different societies is The Water Walls by iLana Markarov. Just finished reading it and its a great comparison to The Hunger Games and Divergent. Now I'm a fan of all three of these! 1y

Published 2012. Set in a dystopian society that was once Chicago, people are split into five factions. Each faction has a connected virtue. When they turn 16, each child gets the opportunity to pick the faction they will belong to from then on. Tris Prior makes the decision to leave her family and join a new faction. She goes through the extensive and rigorous training of the Dauntless, all while hiding a secret about herself.

The Divergent series was written by Veronica Roth. I read this series in middle school and I absolutely loved it. I really like these books because it allows you to feel the emotions and feelings of Beatrice, the main character. In addition, these books are packed with action that make them enjoyable to read.

My Hunger Games loving 11 year old recommended this to me, and it was pretty good! The end got a bit long, but overall, I enjoyed it. Will definitely read the next two books eventually.
⭐️: 4/5

It's Tuesday and time for the #Two4Tuesday questions. Thanks you for taking the time to play. I enjoy reading your answers.

Here are my answers:
🏵 Divergent
🏵🏵 Not necessarily better but when chosen correctly I think one word titles are powerful. Take Divergent as an example, the word has a tone to it and has set the mood and some expectations before you even read the first line.

Much better than the movie. The movie did a sloppy job of telling this story. Left so many good parts out and messed up the order of events. The end wasn't what I was expecting though. It left me wanting more and wanting to read on to the next book. I can't wait to get my hands on the next book from the library! :)

I loved it! The character development was amazing! Near the end of the book, it began tugging hard at my heart strings and I enjoyed it so much! It‘s not often a book is able to do that.
For those of you that are hesitant to read this book, I bet you‘ll at least rate it a 4/5 and so I recommend that you read it, as well as watch the movie after. (And yes, there is a movie!)

I am not a big fantasy reader, but this book and the hunger games have made me love futuristic books. It shows you that you should always make decisions for yourself and not let society tell you what to do or how you should act. I find the moral of the story beautiful and the characters are so unique and made me feel really feel empowered and inspired.

I forgot to post about this when I started reading, but I decided to read this not only because my mom brought it home the other day, I went online and looked around on what this book is about. The summary of what this book is about caught my attention and the characters.

I just love these books so much and highly recommended! Lots of plot twists at the end so just be prepared, mentally. This made me laugh a lot. Especially being a big fan of the books. If you don‘t get it, read the book!

Also if you think watching the movie is better because it‘s quicker DON‘T. Read the books first because the movie makes all the characters just look different in my mind.

Day 3 of #tarotakeover is 2 of Wands. I chose Divergent because triss is faced with life changing choices . Starting with the fact that she is divergent and has to pretend she isn‘t ! 🖤sending peace and love to @ErinSueMreads and anyone else who is facing choices and blocks in their journey!

Branwen Ooooh that's a great book choice! 😀 4y

Not a huge fan of YA fiction but I did enjoy this book and the series overall. I listened to it on audio and that may have helped. A post apocalyptic society that has divided into 5 factions, each with it own strengths and what it gives to the community but as usual, nothing is as it appears. Tris decides to leave her faction and eventually things in the entire community begin to unravel.

Day 7 of my #20Series20Days - Divergent has my conflicted opinion. The first one was amazing, second one was very good, and the third was good. As the series progresses, Tris and Four both become better, but the plot loses its intensity. The last movie was a total fail! God, it actually didn't have a plot! The first two movies were great✌️
