About Divergent - Summary
In this dystopian city, there are five factions. Abnegation (the selfless), Amity (the peaceful), Candor (the truthful), Dauntless (the brave), and Erudite (the intelligent). These five factions create a society where the truth is hidden from the civilians. An Abnegation born girl named Beatrice (Tris) Prior, is turning 16 and is ready take her aptitude test and choose her forever faction. Tris is one of many Divergent (equal aptitude for 2+ factions) except, her Divergence is stronger and far more dangerous than any other. She is the rare person who got an equal aptitude for three factions (Abnegation, Dauntless, Erudite). In her brain's confusion, she blindly chooses Dauntless at her Choosing Ceremony and leaves her parents behind. Tris struggles through the harsh Dauntless initiation processes, but in the end she ranks first in her group. During her initiation, she befriends Christina, a Candor transfer and finds true love with her instructor, Four. She is happy and is ready to become a true Dauntless member when Jeanine Matthews (the Erudite representative) turns the Dauntless population into mindless monsters set to destroy Abnegation, the leading faction.
