Divergent takes place in a futuristic Chicago. This futuristic Chicago is split into five different factions that you test into as a sixteen year-old. The main character, Beatrice's, test show that she is divergent, or does not fit into any faction. Despite this, she chooses to be a part of Dauntless, which values bravery very high. In Dauntless, Beatrice changes her name to Tris. Stories like this are always interesting. I am interested to see what goes on within each faction. I'm sure there will be tension between factions, which will make a good storyline no matter the issue. I was definitely surprised that Tris decided to become a part of Dauntless. She doesn't seem like the person that is really willing to step up when it is needed. At the same time, I was happy to see Tris go somewhere she may not fit in well because that will also surely make a strong storyline. Tris says "'You're not a coward just because you don't want to hurt people,' I say, because I know it's the right thing to say, even if I'm not sure I mean it." (Roth 77-78). This shows how unsure Tris is about simple things and how she may not be in the right faction because of this contradicting feature. It will be vital for Tris to figure out who she truly is.
