Divergent 9/16/14

Pages Read: 311- End
Prompt: Describe the characters

     The main character Beatrice, or Tris, is a small, "weak", girl. When she takes the aptitude test she gets mixed results and she's suspected of being Divergent. She has attributes of mostly 2 factions and the tester can't determine whether she is one or the other. She chose Dauntless and training started off in the range with guns and knives. Then, they started to do fights. That's when she started finding out that she's fast. So, she needed to get hits in first and not get hit to win. She also figured that she couldn't have weakness. So as the time progressed Tris got more aggressive and cruel. She didn't have that sympathy or let someone's pain bother her. Like when she shot Peter and told him he needed to walk/keep up with him and to ignore the pain. Overall, Tris/Beatrice is a small, quick, and aggressive character.

     Four, or Tobias, is a pretty calm, cool, and strong guy. He is Tris' partner and is known for his bravery and fear count. Tobias shows he's calm by keeping his temper and never losing his cool. He seems like a pretty good fighter to. Also, Tobias is Divergent, like Tris, and gets injected with a fixed serum that works on Divergent too. Tobias is also pretty brave. He usually goes against the rules and gets really brave and daring mostly for protecting Tris.

     Caleb, Tris' brother, was a role model type of character near the beginning. To Tris, or Beatrice, he was the definition of Abnegation. He was smart and selfless. So when the choosing ceremony began, Tris was surprised that he chose Erudite. She came to the realization that Caleb was very smart and knew a lot of things. When she was shot Caleb knew how to take the bullet out. Caleb also is very stuck to the rules. He always wanted to abide by them. So overall, Caleb seems smart and is a good hearted person.

  3. Nice job! You did a good job describing the characters. It helps me understand what a book is about if I know about the characters. This gave me a better understanding of this book even though I never read it.
