Divergent Is Cool

For my book report I chose fantasy fiction. I read the book Divergent by Veronica Roth. Divergent is about a girl named Beatrice Prior who lives in futuristic Chicago where society is organized by fraction. There are five factions that are surrounded by a wall in the city. “We are not the same. But we are, somehow, one.” She grew up in the faction Abnegation with her mother Natalie, her father Andrew and her brother Caleb. The story first takes place when Beatrice and her brother are 16 and are heading to a ceremony to decide which faction they want to choose for life. The five factions are Dauntless (the brave), Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Erudite (the intelligent), and Amity (the peaceful). Each person takes a test

Lose Yourself is related to the theme of Divergent. The song is about overcoming problems and obstacles to gain the respect of others. “He’s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready”. This relates to Divergent and the theme of choices because Tris has to show so much bravery in her quest to become a Dauntless but underneath her braveness, she is scared. The choice of fraction is the most important choice a person can make “One choice can transform you.” Tris is going to do what she feels is right and not let others limit her. The Hanging Tree is related to the conflict of Divergent. The song is about the conflict between the districts and the capital in The Hunger Games. It symbolises the effects of direct conflict and how it affects both of the groups. “Strange things did happen here”. In Divergent, the main conflict is between Tris and society. She struggles with her Abnegation instincts because that's how her family raised her. Every Teardrop is a Waterfall is related to the character Tris. The song's meaning is that in the middle of trials and hard times, there is a purpose behind it all “Every little tear we shed is another lesson learned.” Tris is trying to figure out who she is and where she fits in. Because being divergent means she won’t fit in with her world. Her personal struggle is to

The song Lose Yourself was written by Eminem about his life. He overcame growing up poor and used his talent of writing and singing rap songs to better his life. In the book Tris has to use her physical and mental strength. The song The Hanging Tree is about a man that tried to change things peacefully and was falsely accused. Tris has been falsely accused because she is divergent but instead of changes made peacefully there is a lot of violence. The song Every Teardrop is a Waterfall was written by Chris Martin because as a band they have been through incidents of people being aggressive towards them and how they turn a negative into a positive. He feels that everyone has something like that in their lives. In Divergent there are many evil people and negatives in a broken city that it is hard to see the positive. At the end of the book you are left wondering where the train will end that Tris and Four are on. “I am no longer Tris, the selfless, or Tris, the brave. I suppose that now, I must be more than
