Divergent Quotes

In the book divergent there are five factions known as Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Erudite, and Dauntless. Each faction has their unique trait. There is a test made to show you what faction you are meant for but when Beatrice took the test, her results came back showing she was equally meant for Abnegation, Dauntless, and Erudite. She is what the society call Divergent. Divergent think in a way that the average other people can’t Jeanine Matthews wants to eliminate all Divergent because she thinks it is a threat to society and equality. Beatrice will have to make allies to help foil Jeanine’s plans. The first reason I love this book is because of one quote. “Faction over blood.” This quote tells you something about this society.

The first type of competition shown is inside the dauntless faction. They have competitions like skirmishes with tasers, fighting matches, and capture the flag. These competitions are as serious as life and death. If these competitions were to be placed under friendly or hostile, it would definitely be hostile. These competitions decide wether you stayed in the faction or became factions-less. Nobody wanted to be factualness so they fought with everything they had in every single competition. The last type of competition shown is against each faction. Although all the factions are supposed to keep each other in check, just like the U.S government, some faction like the erudite try to gain more power by manipulating what people think or juts plain mind control. Competition is what might end the society. In Divergent Beatrice is an outcast along with many others for something they cannot control. If we put this in school terms, people who might dress funny, Divergence, get bullied by the cool kids, Erudite. Although the Divergence are portrayed as the unacceptable people, they can also be portrayed as the only acceptable people in society. You point of view can change the way you see
