Divergent

 

Hello readers! Long time no write!! Haha, well today I'm going to talk about the book/movie Divergent. Divergent was published on April 25th, 2011 and was written by Veronica Roth. There are three books in the series: Divergent, Insurgent, and Allegiant. (In the right top corner are the covers of each book.) The movie was directed by Neil Burger and came out on March 21st. In Divergent, it takes place in Chicago but it's run-down and is separated in five factions. (Fact-ions not fractions.) Each faction has it's own name and own belief. (These following words are actually in the dictionary.) 

The first faction is: Abnegation, they believe in being selfless. Next faction is: Amity, they believe in being peaceful, being trustful, being kind, being forgiving, and being self-sufficient. Next, we have: Candor, they believe in being honest all the time and believe that they should NEVER lie. Next one is: Erudite, they believe in knowledge and intelligence. Last but not least: Dauntless, their beliefs are being brave and overcoming your fears.

Now, onto the book. (Finally!) Sixteen-year-old Beatrice Prior lives in the faction of Abnegation with her Mom, Dad, and brother, named Caleb who is also sixteen years old. Today, they will be taking a test that's called the aptitude test which determines what faction they will belong to. When they find out something went wrong with Beatrice's test, they find out that she is in BIG trouble. What faction will she choose? Will she choose the right one? You'll have to find out when you read it. I'm sorry this blog was so long and I hope you liked it! But, before I go, I just wanted to tell you that in my opinion, the book was better then the movie and one of my favorite quotes from the book is "Faction before blood."  This is Lil Miss Critic signing off.
