Differences And Tris In Divergent, By Veronica Roth

Divergent is hands down the best book I have read in about 6 years! Beatrice was a character people of many different ages- and even genders could connect with. Each faction also imitated apart of society we all live in today which I found not only exciting but a book that could be used to teach many different lessons to a classroom a children. This book being told in first person makes readers feel apart of the action and throughout the story I found a dislike for the Erudites ( with exception to her brother Caleb), because she did, I liked Tobias— because she did!

The first big one I noticed was at Al’s funeral. The leader Eric was talking about how his suicide was courageous. Tris however thinks “ Pride is what killed Al, and it is a flaw in every Dauntless heart. It is in mine” (308-309.) I enjoy how she sees human nature as flawed as opposed to everyone BUT her faction.

This book is about the experiences of Katniss Everdeen who lives in District 12 and endures the brunt of the corrupt system of government. After her sister Prim was chosen to be a tribute in the Hunger Games she volunteered herself and after surviving through it alongside Peeta another boy from District 12 she has made the government furious. The book uses the motif of fire throughout the book. Due to being apart of the coal mining district the stylists decided they want Peeta and Katniss to wear clothes made out of fire for the opening ceremony in the Capitol. Katniss is given the name “ girl on fire” and it is continuously brought up though out the book. At one point in the arena her like is also on fire and she thinks to herself how everyone watching back at the Capitol will love showing people the girl on fire is literally burning. A theme stressed in this book is the stress on appearances. The whole book is about how it doesn't matter who you actually are but how you appear to your audience and the people with money because they are the ones that can help you. After the games are completed Katniss is made to look as young and innocent is they can make her to make her look like she out-smarted the government on accident and to show she was only a silly girl who was in love with
