As the world of 5 factions that seemed to be “helping” everybody made a choice of what they wanted to be in the future. They designed it to be a good system with Abnegation being mostly in charge of the decisions they make as they were sought to be selfless to be one. With later Erudite wanting to take charge they tricked all the Dauntless members (not including the leaders) and arranging them to kill the Abnegation. Which leads into a big chaos resulting the work of Divergent been there to stop them. “Sometimes, the best way to help someone is just to be near them.” In my perspective when my friends go through a hard time I comfort them.

Throughout 1984 and Divergent, conformity and obedience force the characters to go to great lengths in order to follow the basics and rules of the government. Throughout Orwell’s 1984, the individuals of the society hang onto every word, law, and thought of Big Brother. The citizens focus primarily on the Ministries and Party, not forming connections or relationships with others. Each member of a party have certain jobs and clothing assigned to them, separating them for others to easily detect. The same concept lies within the factions of Divergent. Each faction has a different job, and different colors to wear in order to display their role in society. The leaders of each Faction also hold the phrase “faction before blood,” depicting the same messege Big Brother enforces in 1984. Both governments want the individuals to stay within their parties, and do the jobs assigned to them. However, both novels include characters refusing to conform and obey to government rules. In 1984, Winston Smith resents Big Brother, using his knowledge from the Minitrue to reveal the lies the government spreads. Because of the disatisfaction Winston shows towards his government, O’Brien follows him, tortures him, and brainwashes him into conforming like the others. In Divergent, the government leaders label Beatrice Prior as a “divergent,” or one who possesses more than one

The five factions in Divergent’s serve as values that citizen can aspire to achieve in their fullest. The fearless are drawn to Dauntless, the intelligent to Erudite, the kind to Amity, the honest to Candor, and the selfless to Abnegation. I do not think that only these factions represent every basic personality type, nor fulfill all of people’s basic needs. To fill in the gaps, I would create factions for the selfish and manipulative, among others.

The characters reaction to the theme of the novel ‘Counting by 7’s was that the characters were shocked and sad for Willow because she has lost her parents and she had no other family, but Willow knew she had to take matter in her own hands, this leads up to the quote on the front cover of the book ‘If you’re lost, you may need to swim against the tide’. The characters reaction to the theme in ‘Divergent’ was that only Tris and Tori knew that she was Divergent and they had to keep it a secret “I feel like someone breathed new air into my lungs. I am not Abnegation. I am not Dauntless. I am Divergent.” [pg 442].

The concept of potential problem analysis, which is also known as potential opportunity analysis, is one of the stages in the Kepner-Tregoe approach for the problem-solving process. This concept was introduced to help in analyzing the consequences of a decision in order to identify what could potentially go wrong and to create initiatives that could address the problems or issues once they actually emerge. Generally, the potential problem analysis technique is developed to offer a comprehensive evaluation of a created idea or action so as to predict any probability for something going wrong. Therefore, this concept or procedure helps an individual to expected problems before they take place and to develop necessary measures that could be implemented to prevent the probable problem from taking place or lessen its effect.
Divergent mostly takes place in three out of five parts they live in, these parts they live in are called factions. They three factions are: Abnegation, Dauntless, and Erudite. The other two aren’t mentioned as much but they are called Amity and Candor. These factions all stand for the personalities the of people, after finishing school students have to pick a faction to go to, most just stay in their original faction.
