Divergent
By:Veronica Roth
Analysis
I just started reading the Book Divergent by Veronica Roth. Im currently on page 50 and know a little bit about the book to make a prediction what the rest of the book will be about. There are two main characters Beatric and Tobias. I got to the part where Caleb became a fraction transfer. Beatrice is confuesd and does not know what she wants too do because she is not aloud to share her results with anyone. A quote from the book that shows the frustration Beatrice is expierienceing is,
"My family might be able to help me make my choice, if I could talk about my aptitude test results. But I can't."
She is very nervous knowing this I have a feeling she is going to be a fraction transfer alsong side of her brother. A question I have asked myself is what it means to be "Divergent"? And how that will affect Beatrices life. Does being "Divergent" affect her in a negative or a positive way? Along side of the questions I found a text to book connection in this story. A text to text connection would be with the book Hunger Games. It has the same basic story as hunger games. Theres a few plot twists how everyone can chose how and with whom they spent their adulthood with by picking which faction they go into too and they can chose it for themselves but in hunger games your life will be chosen for you. You do not have say in it. These books are very similar to eachother butat the same time they are different.I predict that the decisions they make are going to greatly change their lives. They will not end up in the same faction and are going to go their own ways apart from their family. A text to world connection in this book would be decision making. So many different choices have to be made in this book and it is just like in life you make many different choices wethere there tempoarary or life changing. A text to self connection in this book would be when all of the fractions sit together it reminds me of all the different friend groups there is at school and how people seperate themselves from other people depending on different factors.
Beatrice getting her apittiude tests. This is when her whole life started to change.
Katie, I liked how you compared Divergent to The Hunger Games because you not only compared them you showed how they were differnet. I have some questions for you how do the people from divergent chose their factionif the have to take this "apittiude test"? What even is this "apittiude test"? How do take it?
