Divergent Post #4

Some real life issues in this novel are choosing who and what you want to be like in life.  Such as studying every night for 2 hours, being lazy, playing sports, doing bad things, or hanging out with friends.  This book has traits like selfless, honest, peaceful, intelligent, and brave.  We are all grouped with our friends in society by traits we have like those, although sometimes it may be your grouped by if you play sports or if your smart.

Divergent blog post #3 CHARACTERS

The main character in Divergent, Beatrice Prior can relate to Katniss Everdeen since they are both brave.  Beatrice decided to go to Dauntless which is the brave faction.  Also Beatrice had to leave her family.  And Katniss volunteered to go to the Hunger Games for her sister Prim.  If one of them was more brave than the other it would definitely be Katniss since the odds of her winning were 1/24 and she wasn't even trained in fighting.  Although Beatrice chose a different faction, not knowing what to expect and their trait was bravery I still think Katniss is more brave.

The main character feels confused since she doesn't know what faction she wants to be a part of and she could go into multiple factions for the rest of her life.  But she doesn't know what to pick since she likes 3 of them.  This book makes me think of the future and what are future societies might look like.  This book makes me think of The Hunger Games since it's a future society with a different type of government.  Also their citizens are put into groups like factions or districts.

First Impression on Reading Divergent

My first impression on reading the book Divergent is that it started right off making me want to read more.  I don't know yet what's going to happen to her now that she knows what factions she could belong to.  The book is called divergent since the main character could belong to 3 out of the 5 factions and a person who is like that is very rare and called a divergent. 

I really like the book so far as I thought I would since it makes me think about the future and possibilities of what could happen in the future.  I can relate to the main character because she has to make a huge decision and I've had to make really big decisions before too.

I chose the book Divergent because it's a fantasy book.  I also heard that a lot of people read it so I decided to get it myself.  The cover looks really cool because of the fire ball.  The author, Veronica Roth started writing this trilogy as a college student.  Now she and her husband live in Chicago and she's a full time writer.

 

 

 

 

This book is going to be a major motion picture in theaters march 2014.  I usually read utopian/dystopian books and this book falls under that genre.  I have read The Hunger Games trilogy and that was my favorite series that I've ever read and that was a utopian/dystopian book.
