DIVERGENT
Veronica Roth
Divergent is the first book about a dystopian world where everyone is divided into five factions based on personalities.
- Abnegation - selfless
- Candor - honest
- Amity - peaceful
- Erudite - intelligent
- Dauntless - brave
The story is about Beatrice Prior and her journey to find her own path in her world.
Beatrice was born into Abnegation, all citizens, once they reach 16, take a test to determine the best place for them and then they must decide which faction they want to join. Beatrice is faced with a choice. Most of kids stick with their orginal factions, but feel drawn to a different faction from their parents and friends. They are forced to leave behind their past life - which means friends, family, and morals.
Autor's Purpose
The autor's purpose to entertain the reader and to see things out side of the box. To make you think how the world would be if everbody were placed into factions. How it would feel to not be able to be in control or be defined by only one thing. The author challenges that type of thinking by saying that people are made up of a lot of different personalities.
Autor's Style
The author's style in Divegent is very good word choices. She is very good at writing her book. She writes where people can understand what she is saying easily. She adds lots of details to paint a picture in your mind, but gets down to the point. She doesn't drag on about one thing. She keeps the book moving and the reader wanting to read.

Some of them are little things that you could miss easily but others are very obvious that it is different than the book.

Character Descriptions
There are a lot of differences in the characters looks from the book to the movie.
All of the main characters are around 16 years old in the book, but in the movie they look older to me. There are also diffences in their physical appearence from the book to the movie.
Small changes like hair type/style and color.
To more drastic changes like body build.
I guess that you can't cast every character exactly like they are described in the book though.

Theme
The theme of Divegent is that no matter who you are, you can do anything that you want to do with support and determination.
Theme
Book Tone
The tone of the book is anxious, dangerous, and mysterious.
When the story begins, the faction world has seen many years of peace.
At first, all seems well, but you can somehow tell that there is trouble coming.
The author takes an anxious tone that keeps me wondering what is going to happen next.
Book Tone
Movie Tone
The tone of the movie is suspensiveful.
In the beginning Tris is very nervous about choosing day, she struggles with herself and what decision she will make. When she decides to change factions and join Dauntless, she is very unsure about the initiation process. After being in Dauntless for awhile she becomes more confident in her abillites. She finally begins to show more brave characteristics and takes more risk. The movie keeps you on the edge of your seat. You want Tris to make it. You also do not want her or Four to get caught for being Divergent.
