Divergent thoughts

I find the Divergent series extremely interesting. Incase you don’t know, in the Divergent world, society is divided up into 5 groups based on your personality, these groups are called ‘factions’. There is Candor who are extremely honest. There is Amity who are kind and caring. There is Erudite who are intelligent. There is Abnegation who is selfless and Dauntless who are brave. 

I feel like these five ‘factions’ already exist in society today, we just can’t see them. There are the people who are honest, kind, intelligent, selfless and brave. These personality traits surface, wether we see them or not. There are the people who are so honest, despite the effect that they have on others. There are those people who are kind, but passive and fight for what they believe in. There are the intelligent people who are vain, and believe they don’t need anyone else. There are the people who are selfless, and constantly giving and not receiving, putting others first. Then there is the brave warriors, who are cruel to get results. 

I think that Divergent is quite accurate and not far stretched from society today, because then there are the people who are ‘divergents’. Who don’t fit into just one faction, who question the current systems. These are the people who threaten the systems because they can’t be controlled and they are different, and these people are in society today. 

This is just a small pocket of things that I find fascinating about the Divergent series.

It is expertly written by the talented Veronica Roth who I admire greatly.

I have fallen for the Divergent books.

Quotes

Here are some quotes I quite like at the moment.

So well said.

 I think Jennifer Lawrence is such an inspirational person, she says things how they are and doesn't seem to have been affected by her fame. I only wish more people with her success were as honest towards the media etc. She is a wonderful woman.

Lorde is an incredible teen. It is so wonderful to see some young who has already realised not to live her life for anyone else, having the guts to be so honest infront of the media, we need more people like her in our society, who know that you don't need to be beautiful, and perfect. That being yourself is more valuable than faking your way through life. I hope she continues to be herself and not be influenced by her success, she is a great person.

I think these two quotes speak for themselves.
