Divergent by Veronica Roth - Jason Lei

In the book Divergent, the human society has been split up into 5 fraction. Each fraction represented one thing they believed in that the human race lacked. For an example, the Erudite believed that the human lacked intelligent so the people of Erudite were intelligent. When you turned 16 you were to make an important decision on which of the four groups you would like to transfer to.The main character Beatrice, was born Abnegation,the people of Abnegation believed that people were too selfish. Beatrice thought that she didn't fit in Abnegation because she didn't really believe in acting selflessly, so she transferred to Dauntless. The Dauntless fraction believed in bravery, and Beatrice did show bravery for choosing Dauntless. In the Divergent Beatrice sacrificed a lot to become Dauntless.
One of the sacrifices she made was leaving her family. She left them so she can live her life happy in the fraction she chooses, but the downside was she would have to leave them and that she might never see them again. The second sacrifice was change her looks so her parents won't recognize her. She thought that it would be better for her and her parents if she didn't become to attached to them when she was away. So, she tattooed three bird on her leg to represent the people she left.
The book Divergent is really good because of many things,like shows self confidence. I haven't finished the book yet but so far it is really good. It has a lot of action from her training she has to do. I recommend this book because it is mind blowing.
