HasmineP3 In the book Divergent they live in a abnegation faction which means. The city is divided into five parts that is taken place in chicago. They take a test called amplitude. It determines what group you're gonna be in and what you're gonna work for.

Beatrice the main character lives with her brother Caleb, her mother and father. When the day of the ceremony comes for the amplitude test. Beatrice Takes the test and is determined that she is divergent, At the choosing ceremony she transfers into the Dauntless which is the brave people the ones that did dangerous things and fought mostly known as the soldiers . Her brother caleb Transfers to Erudite for smart people scientist and doctors. However Separating both of the kids. When Beatrice goes into the dauntless she gives herself a nickname ‘Tries’ to hide her background.

Jeanine Matthews the leader of the Erudite group. She was using a simulation on the Dauntless. So that she could mind control them them and make them kill the innocent. But Tris was Divergent so the simulation didn’t work on her. Divergents weren’t accepted because they were different and they couldn't be controlled so they just say it's dangerous and chose to get rid of them. When Tris finally understand what’s going on and what their trying to make her do. She attempts to run away but get captured.

Some countries are really like this were there strict and everything is controlled by one person. I thought it was very interesting to know that there are places that are like that and you can't even decided what you want to do. Thought that many people judge a person just because they're different. By them thinking that it's okay to take them away or hide them isn't okay. I wonder how those family and children felt when they were told what to do every minute of the day.
