Post 6 listicle


The book Divergent is a very good read. The author has a well thought out writing style that creates her own world. Veronica does a very great job of making her own world for this book. She is very detail oriented, the many things she writes make this book a good one.

1 – The world that she creates is so intricate

In Divergent, Veronica Roth build up from what we know today as, and brings more to that knowledge. The way she creates the ideas that her dystopian world is very innate. The book is set in the future, where the story is all localized in the destroyed present day Chicago. In the beginning of the book it is very descriptive that it allows the reader to jump into the plot, without confusion. You have to grasp the concepts that she creates to understand everything that goes on through the book. She keeps on building on these concepts through the book, making it more intricate.

2 – The author creates how the new society is run

With the destruction of the world, everything is changed to create peace in the environment in the book. The author creates factions in this world that create the order for the city. These factions are the soul idea that is keeping the society in order. The idea that everyone should follow the ideas of their own faction. The factions are split up to be different from the others, creating that division in the unison to keep the peace that is wanted. The factions rely on each other though as resources.

3 – The specific detail that go into each faction

In the book you see the main character go from one faction to another. You can see the dramatic changes in ideals from on to the other. I like the way the author does this with her story, showing the inside of more than one of the factions. The way you can see that each faction has their own jobs, and stick strictly to that idea. You can see that the author thought through all the questions the readers would have with each of the factions. She answers all of them in her writing and makes all of her ideas very clear.

4 - Surprises and conflict between the factions that is brought through

 You can see the outside view of the factions too. Tris shows the viewpoint of the inside but also shows the more broad view of the factions. Since she is divergent she is able to think differently compared to the others in their society. The way veronica uses her to show that her brain is different than everyone else is very clever. This is the main conflict in the society, and how they are afraid of the people that think differently. The divergent are what can make the society lose all of its order.

5 – There is detail that goes into the main character

Tris the main character has so much going on with her. She has personal conflict inside her and wanting to be free. This is her being divergent but she doesn’t really understand this yet. But she thinks she can suffice this feeling by changing her faction. For the time being that does her good, but it all continues. As she becomes very good at her new faction people soon look at her differently, the way she isn’t used to. She has so much to deal with in the book that it gets confusing.

Veronica Roth’s book it very well written. Although it gets confusing at points I really admire what she has written. She has put in so much detail into her writing it is incredible and I think that is really interesting.
