CharacterThe main character of the book Divergent is a girl named Beatrice. Beatrice develops throughout the book by having to do things that push her out of her comfort zone. Beatrice was born into the Abnegation faction, where everything is simple and the same. Self-denial enhances altruism, but Beatrice does not feel altruistic. He decides to join the Dauntless faction, who value courage. Beatrice has to do things like jump off trains and fight people to prove that she is brave. She decides to call herself Tris, because Beatrice doesn't fit in with the intrepid. When Beatrice makes the decision to be fearless she says, "My father's eyes burn into mine with a look of accusation." That's because it was selfish of him to choose to become a Dauntless. Beatrice doesn't like being told what to do and will stand up for what she thinks is right. Beatrice tries to be kind to others, but sometimes she just can't control herself. Ideas The main idea develops when Beatrice decides to change faction and when she takes the test to see which faction suits her best. When he takes the test, he develops the main idea because his results are inconclusive, which means he fits into more than one camp. Before the test Beatrice was sure she would choose Abnegation, but after taking the test she begins to think she might want to choose Dauntless. When she chooses Dauntless she develops the main idea because she does what was right for her, even if it was a difficult decision to make. The main idea of the book is that sometimes you have to do what's right for you. Beatrice does what is right for her, and this develops the main idea. Meaning “climb concrete stairs” (p 39) connotative- stairs leading upwards...... center of the card ...... without. Try Beatrice has qualities that adapt to different factions, which makes her divergent. I know this because the woman giving you the test says "You show equal aptitude for Abnegation, Dauntless, and Erudite." (p 22) This makes Beatrice divergent. When Beatrice chooses to be Dauntless she says "I'm selfish, but I'm brave." This goes along with the main idea because he did what was right for her, and it was selfish, but it was also brave. The point of view is that of Beatrice, who is the first person. I know this because when Beatrice says things like “I'm selfish” it shows that she's doing it from her point of view. The author made the book in this order because the events lead to the bigger event. I know this because it starts with the inconclusiveness of his test and ends with a war. That's why the author put the book in this order.
