Setting-Where and When?

The setting is in the Abnegation, Erudite, and Dauntless 

factions. It is mostly in the Dauntless faction which is 

underground. There is a pit and many training rooms inside. 

It is very quiet when there isn't really anything going on. 

However, it is extremely loud when something special is 

going on. 

It is definitely in the future because there is so much 

advanced technology. They live a crazy lifestyle caused by 

living in factions. This is not a very realistic style of living 

for normal people like us.

Main character-

The main character is a girl named Tris or Beatrice and is in 

her teens. She is too kind in the beginning but she learns how 

to be more fun and outgoing later on in the book. She turns 

out to be Divergent which means she isn't exactly in a certain 

faction. It can be a very scary thing to be.

Main conflict

The main conflict id External because the Dauntless and 

Abnegation are getting attacked by the Erudite. It is involving 

many things that go on with many people. The Erudite take 

control of the Dauntless and have them kill as many people as 

they can. They especially wanted the to attack Abnegation. 

Rising Action

1)Tris picks to be Dauntless instead of Abnegation.

2)It is the first day of initiation and Tris is the first one to jump 

into the Dauntless headquarters. 

3)Tris learns how to shoot a gun and to fight.

4)They play capture the flag and Tris wins it for her team by 

going in a high spot which she spots the other teams flag 

from.

5)Tris and Four fall in love.

6)Tris fights off her fear simulation and is number one on the 

standing chart.

Climax

In the book Divergent, the climax of the story occurs when the 

Erudite take over the Dauntless as soldiers. Every Dauntless 

person got a shot with a certain liquid that makes the Erudite 

control them. They make the Dauntless attach Abnegation and 

everything in their way. However, the people who are 

divergent like Tris and Four, don't get controlled by the serum. 

Then they capture Four and make him under their command 

with a different special serum! Then Tris has to fight Four and 

right when Tris is about to shoot Four because he is coming at 

her, he stops. He looks in her eyes and sees that it's Tris and 

stops fighting her. This is where the climax occurs in 

Divergent.

Characterization 

The main character,Tris, in the book Divergent, is brought to 

life in many ways through characterization. One way is when 

Tris is the first one to jump in to the Dauntless headquarters 

because she is really making a name for herself by doing so. 

Tris finds out that she is Divergent and it is super important. It 

is hard for her because she has to pick which faction she is in 

with nothing backing up why she is in it. Another way is when 

she gets first place for the fear simulation. It is a very good 

moment because people can be afraid of her and she knows 

that she is very good.

Dialogue

One example of dialogue is when Four fins out that Tris is 

divergent. It reads- "What?" I demand.

"You're Divergent," he replies.

I stare at him, fear pulsing through me like electricity. He 

knows. How does he know? I must have slipped up. Said 

something wrong. Page 255

Another example is when Tris's mother tells Tris that she 

needs to be alert because she is Divergent and she could die 

from it. It reads- "Is this because I'm a-" I start to say but she 

presses her hand to my lip. 

"Don't say that word," she hisses. "Ever."

So Tori was right. Divergent is a dangerous thing to be.

Theme-Choose wisely

One reason why this is the theme is because when Tris choose 

Dauntless, it was hard to make the right choice and have to 

adjust a lot. Another reason is that she had to choose her 

friends wisely because many could be backstabbers or jerks. 

For the last reason, every decision she makes effects her life 

so she has to choose what to do wisely.
