Reading isn't my favorite thing to do. Until recently, I've never read a book from cover to cover unless i had to as a classroom assignment. The book Divergent captured my attention with in the first paragraph. Finally, i wanted to know how a book ended.
This book is a pretty fast read you have to stay up with everything that happens. The book is narrated by Beatrice, the main character. Throughout the book there are a lot of twists in the chapters that you wont see coming. That keeps the suspense going through out the whole entire book not just a tiny piece. A good book always has a twist, it keeps the readers interested. The characters in this book are always having to make decisions that will affect the rest of your life. Their lives are basically just a bunch of choices.At the end of chapter 4 in the last paragraph it says "I walk into my room, and when i close my door behind me. i realize that the decision might be simple. It will require a great act of selflessness to choose Abnegation, or a great act of courage to choose Dauntless, and maybe just choosing one over the other will prove that i belong. Tomorrow, those two qualities will struggle within me and only one can win." Beatrice has to make a decision that will affect the rest of her life. She took a faction test to see if she will either be Dauntless which are the dangerous and risk taking faction, The Erudite which are the smart people with attitude, the Candor which are the people who are straight forward and honest and they don't care if your feelings get hurt when they tell you something, Amity are the hippie like people who are really laid back and calm. The last one is the Abnegation which is the government based faction. Then you have factionless which is self explanatory.
Her test results came back inconclusive. Her choices were Abnegation, Erudite, and dauntless. At the choosing ceremony, the people choosing factions have to cut their hand and drip their blood from their hand into the bowl of hot rocks in which the faction they choose. Beatrice choose dauntless. She was originally Abnegation, and now she is dauntless transfer.
For the Dauntless initiation, they had to jump off a moving train. Beatrice decided she was going to be the first initiate to jump. When you choose a new faction you also get the chance to change your name. And Beatrice decided to go by Tris. When you start a new faction you leave your family and your old faction behind. So you basically start a new life.
If i was Tris, i would choose the Abnegation or Amity. I would choose abnegation because you are the highest faction their is. And Amity because i love to be really laid back and not have any worries, or stressing out too much.
