    The document discusses several topics related to the Divergent book series: 1) Beatrice is not always a reliable narrator as she ignores signs and does not question certain events, but she does consider other characters' emotions. 2) While the faction system makes sense by assigning jobs to factions, it leaves holes like what faction would teachers belong to since they require multiple qualities. 3) The factionless are those who did not complete their chosen faction's initiation, decided to leave, or were kicked out, similar to the homeless in real life.

    The book explores themes of human desire for freedom and curiosity as well as the dangers of losing those freedoms. It also leaves many questions unanswered to make the reader want to continue the story.

    While the faction system divides jobs into qualities, it does not account for jobs requiring multiple qualities. This leaves holes and could result in issues finding the right people for certain roles.

    The Factionless are those who fail initiation, leave their faction, or are kicked out. They represent the homeless or those living in poverty with unstable employment in real life.

    Divergent questions

    1. Beatrice is not a reliable narrator because she tells her


    interpretation of events and often ignores obvious signs, in
    chapter 31 she is injected with a tracking device and does
    not question it but later on all of Dauntless are turned into
    ruthless mind-controlled soldiers. Although she tells the
    story as she sees she sometimes considers the other
    characters emotions which adds depth to the story.

    2. The faction system does make sense but leaves a lot of


    holes such as which faction would be given a job which
    needs you to have more than two qualities such as a
    teacher where you are required to be smart, kind and
    selfless. Most jobs can be broken down into the five
    factions such as Candor being judges, Abnegation being
    charity workers, Amity being farmers, Dauntless being
    police and Erudite being scientists.

    3. The Factionless are the people that do not complete their


    chosen factions initiation, decided to leave or been kicked
    out. People in the real world that would be described as
    factionless are the homeless or people living in a housing
    commission with low incomes and an unreliable job.

    4. Divergent is set in a future dystopia in Chicago. Towards


    the end of Divergent and the beginning of Insurgent it
    states that the world had gone into war and the world was
    experimenting using different cities making different
    societies that would be functioning and peaceful. Although
    it started out as a perfect utopia, it slowly turned into a
    dystopia as the system became corrupted and the people
    lost their freedom. This book does give out a warning that

    we should not try to silence a humans desire for freedom


    and curiosity.

    5. The way Divergent left a lot of things unexplained made


    you want to read and buy the next book because it leaves
    you questioning things such as why there is a wall around
    the city and is there anything beyond that wall. This made
    me believe the world a bit less because it seemed that
    everyone didnt know anything about the place they lived
    and were not curious about it either.

    6. The most important relationship that Beatrice has in the


    book is the one between her and Tobias, her boyfriend. This
    has resulted in her risking her own life when Jeanine put
    Tobias under a simulation , instead of shooting him Beatrice
    risked her own life to save him.

    7. The bullies such as Peter, Molly and Drew in Tris class


    are misguided and jealous; they have been taught by the
    dauntless leaders to be selfish and are arrogant and rude.
    At some points in the book it seems that they are jealous of
    Tris because she is becoming the best and has kind
    supportive friends. The leaders like Jeanine and Eric are
    condescending and arrogant and that rubs off on some of
    the initiates like Peter, Molly and Drew.

    8. The way Tris describes who she is and what she thinks
    about herself helps us to understand how she is
    progressing and how she is learning more about herself and
    in turn helps us understand what shes going through
    better.
