Divergent Update

               I am close to being done with Divergent now and it’s safe to say that the book blew the movie out of the water. I have fallen in love with the story and I am really excited to continue reading this series. One of my favorite things about this book is the main character, Tris. She isn’t like many other main female characters I have read about. She’s strong, but she doesn’t realize her strength until it’s put to the test. Tris is an extremely relatable character and I see so many of her traits in myself and in others.

Also, some of my new favorite quotes come from Veronica Roth’s writing. “Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.” This particular quote practically sums up the entire book within 3 sentences. Another one that stood out to me is "I don’t just want to be one thing. I can’t be. I want to be brave and I want to be selfless, intelligent and honest and kind. Well, I’m still working on kind." This is said by Tobias or Four when he is showing Tris his tattoo. Like the other quote, this too can sum up a lot about his character. Four possesses all these traits; he just needs the opportunity to show them.
