This is a quick book summary of Divergent by Veronica Roth. This channel discusses and reviews books, novels, and short stories through drawing...poorly.
Transcript: This is a story about a girl named Beatrice who lives with her father, mother, and brother, Caleb, in a future society that is divided into five major factions: Dauntless, Amity, Erudite, Abnegation, and Candor. Beatrice’s parents are Abnegation, however, because Beatrice and Caleb are sixteen years old, they must go through a test and pick what faction they want to be in. Those with no faction become Factionless.
As Beatrice takes the faction test, she is put through a series of trials, which reveals that she is not drawn to one faction, but three. This is extremely rare and dangerous, which the society calls Divergent. Still, Beatrice must choose her faction.
At the Choosing Ceremony, Caleb chooses Erudite and Beatrice chooses Dauntless, both choices that are against the norm.
Beatrice is then led with the other Dauntless initiates and they must jump on a train to Dauntless headquarters. Once at the headquarters, a leader named Max tells them they must jump off a building. Beatrice is the first to jump and lands in the hidden net. As a Dauntless, her new identity and name is Tris.
The Dauntless-born initiates are separated from the non-Dauntless born initiates for their training, ranking, and initiation. Four is Tris’ trainer and he first teaches them to shoot a gun. During the training, Tris becomes friends with her fellow trainees, including Al, Christina, and Will. She even gets a tattoo of birds in remembrance of her family.
The group of initiates are then trained in hand to hand combat. Tris has to fight Peter, another initiate who is highly competitive, who dominates her in the fight. She eventually recovers from her injuries and continues the training.
The initiates are taken to the fence, where Dauntless guards patrol. Four then has them play capture the flag with paintball guns. As Tris’ team is fighting about what to do, Tris and Four climb an old ferris wheel and spot the other team. Tris relays the message and their team wins.
Visiting Day arrives where families, both Dauntless and not, visit the initiates. Most non-Dauntless family visit, but Tris’ mother arrives. They talk and Tris’ mother warns her to be careful. Tris also realizes that her mother was born as a Dauntless.
