Reading Response #2 Divergent

Reading Response #2 Divergent

 

 

       I last left you off with Tris basically jumping to her death in my last blog. Now she has begun her training to become a dauntless. I started off reading this quote from Eric (Dauntless leader),  “You chose us. Now we have to choose you.” The top twenty are the only ones who make the cut. They choose ten from the Dauntless born side and ten from the faction switcher side. If you do not make the cut you have to live with the factionless, which is basically you become homeless with nothing. Your mental, physical and even emotional skills are tested for this. It's mostly just fighting and seeing how you react to certain situations. Tris is unfortunately the weakest physically of the trainees, but her mental strength is very tough. This is also what might get her killed. It's apparently a bad thing to be divergent; I haven't quite figured out why, but the few people that know what she is, tell her to never speak of this.

 

 

 

          Tris was able to see her mother when the family from the previous faction came to visit. I guess her father is still upset about her switching because he did not come to visit her. Tris's mother also finds out that Tris is divergent, and like the others tells her never to speak of it because she could be killed.

 

      At this point in the book I'm severely hooked because I want to know what a divergent is and why it is bad to be one. I have a feeling Tris would like to know as well.

     

      I chose the picture below to basically summarize how Tris did during her physical training (fighting)
