Veronica Roth was born in a Chicago suburb. She did creative writing at Northwestern University.  She started writing this book while she was in college.  The city of Chicago where her husband and her live is where she was inspired to write the book Divergent.

The main character has changed a lot since the beginning of the book to the end.  In the beginning she wasn't known by many people and didn't speak out against things.  In the end she became a leader and spoke out against the wrong like the Erudite faction wanting to overthrow the Abnegation government.  As you can tell she was a very influential person and was well known and loved by many.

Character Description Divergent Post #10

To describe my character Beatrice, I would say that she has blonde hair with blue eyes.  Also it said in the book that she has a narrow face.  She looks like your average all American high blonde cheer leader.  Also she has to look like she is daring since she is in the dauntless which means fearless or determined.  I think that this picture is the best resemblance of Beatrice.

I think the author wrote this book because she has an imaginative mind.  Also he must've thought that our world could turn into something like the Divergent book and also she needed another interesting book/trilogy to write.  This book is a good warning to future societies about not having factions.

Theme & Summary Divergent Post #8

One should be careful on what they do to others.

In this book the Erudite tries to brainwash the Dauntless so they can overthrow the Abnegation government.  But the Erudite don't know that someone who was Divergent couldn't get brainwashed.  It just so happens that the main character Beatrice is Divergent so she can help the Erudite out and not get overthrown by the brainwashed Dauntless and Abnegation.

I believe in the next chapter (chapter 13) the main character Beatrice will figure out what's beyond the fence of the city.  I think this because she was wondering what was on it and she thought to herself that she would figure out soon.  I wonder why the lock is on the outside of the fence in there city.  It seems like they are trying to keep them in instead of keeping people out.  This book is like the Hunger Games because it's like a future society.

In the book Beatrice was the first one to jump off the roof into the faction.  The natives didn't even go first, she didn't know what was below her!  I'm excited to see how they portray the book in the movie that will come out in 2014.
