Divergent Post 1#



Since I have finished reading Divergent over the winter break so I will divide book into 4 parts for every blog post so here is the first quarter of the book. Beatrice ( the main character ) firstly talks about how Beatrice lived her life in the Abnegation community ( 1 out of 4 ) the others being : Dauntless, Amity, Erudite, and Candor. She's flipping back her memories because its the day where she gets picked for which community she will be put in. Her and her brother Caleb go meet up at the school where all the other people their age will be, as she goes up the piles of stairs she's always fascinated to see the Dauntless in action ; strong, risk-taking, they get around the city by jumping off of trains and buildings. As they arrive there, everyone has to take a test, no one knew how it was going to be like but Beatrice was very nervous about it. As they called her up she went into the testing room where the walls were mirrors and there was a lady that was dressed all up in black, with black curly hair, and tattoos all over her body, soon after she found out that her name was Tori.
She asked her a few questions and then told her to drink something out of the cup, soon after Beatrice found herself on the floor and there was a growling dog approaching her she had no idea what to do next but instead the dog is kind and licks her face, next appears a baby in the middle of the room and she starts laughing and this time Beatrice could feel that the way the dog ran towards the baby is not a great sign so she jumped onto the dog and next thing she knows she finds herself back in the testing room. Tori reveals to her that she's Divergent. And she isn't allowed to tell anyone, at all. Divergent is when you're all  of Erudite, Abnegation, and Dauntless, tomorrow is the Choosing Ceremony so they will reveal which ever faction she will be put in. The next day everyone gets their assigned faction and go live there forever, Caleb surprisingly got Erudite ( because the Abnegation and Erudite accused each other of so many things and they hate one another ).
 They all leave with their faction for the Dauntless they have to jump onto a moving train to get to the Dauntless compound she then meets a new friend Christina along the way, then they all jump off and suddenly everyone stops, there is one more thing too do, and this is the first time, but jump off a real roof of a building. No one goes first its so frighting for everyone, she eyes some people arguing, two of them eyed her back but in a very mean way she later finds out that there names are Molly and Peter. Beatrice is so risk taking and jumps off first not knowing whats on the bottom, before she knows it she lands on a trampoline type thing, a man helps her out and says he's Four and asks for her name ; she says Beatrice but he said that its a new place, new start so she called herself Tris. Four shows them around and when they all sit down for lunch Eric the leader introduces himself, from her thoughts to everyone's faces she thought that he was creepy. She then meets two other friends Al and Will, tomorrow they will start to practice fighting, Christina up against Molly and Will against Al, then the next day she sees them fightning. Will beat up Al but it wasn't that bad but when Christina and Molly had the battle it was a close one, Christina was so tired that she was done, Eric did not accept this at all so he threatened her and then nearly made her fall off the building in real life.
