Divergent Book Discussion (19)

Monday, April 15, 2013

Hey, people from Earth and other people who are not from here, for the next 7 weeks we will be giving you the awesomeness that is DIVERGENT by Veronica Roth.  Be sure to show up, because we are giving away some goodies, check it out HERE. Just a side note, I will be asking a question after each discussion post.  Be sure to follow the discussion and don’t be scared to join in on our discussion/ questions. Those who entered the contest will receive extra entries for answering a question.  Every week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we will discuss three chapters per week: tell you about the plot, and other random bits of spicy goodness that you should definitely know about (all relating to Divergent).    Just for your curiosity: helping me out with this discussion is Jackie, one of my best friends (please say hello to her).  Basically these posts will be categorized by person.  Jackie hasn't read the book so be sure to read her first impressions while she reads along and if you have read Divergent, be sure to read my input (this will be the my second read through).  If you missed a post and want to check out the schedule, go HERE.  Come and join us in our quest of discussing DIVERGENT.

CHAPTER 19


Tris comes back to the dorm to find everyone circling Peter.  Sadly no one was beating him up, however, he was reading some dicey newspaper about Abnegation policies and the family relationships Beatrice and Caleb had with their father.  Rumors but it still hurts.  After Tris and her friends get more tattoos, they see an intoxicated Four by the chasm.  He not only flirts with death but Tris as well.  Things are looking up.

Today's Topics:
Drunk Four and the Newspaper Attack


Hehe Gina I can see why you chose this as your topic for this chapter. I really, really like Drunk Four. He is extremely flirty and way more fun than he usually is around Tris, so obviously he must have a crush on her. EVEN THOUGH I KNEW THIS FROM WHEN HE FIRST MET HER. Anyways, I was kind of hoping that Tris would have stayed longer with Drunk Four because I think they would have had lots of fun together. I could see them just messing around and having a good time just being silly or whatever. But, I guess Four didn’t want Tris to see him like that for too long, so she had to leave. POO! L

I really, really REALLY can’t stand even the mere mention of Molly, Peter, or Drew. THEY NEED TO DIE. Maybe if Tris asks Four nicely, he would “accidently”kill them. Like accidently nudging them off of the side of a cliff… J But this all goes back to the bullying issue earlier with Peter and his squad. I just feel bad for Tris that she is constantly attacked by this group, especially to the point of bringing her father and sexual abuse rumors into it. At the same time though, as a Dauntless, she has to not breakdown over this, but act courageously to either ignore them or confront them about this. Personally, I kind of hope Peter, Molly and Drew either are killed somehow or are banished to be Factionless.




The newspaper is totally false.  Shouldn’t they get more than just one so-called witness to quote things for them.  Molly just had to suggest something was up with the family life of Tris.  It’s quite ironic, considering if you’ve read the book before.  How the rumors are flying about an abusive father when previously, this has been done before and the rumors turn out to be true.  In this case, however, they are not. 

Drunk Four is the best.  This is the first time we get to see Four unguarded and vulnerable.  I actually love this side of him.  Not his drunkenness but his laid-backness.  I know most of the others are scared of him and they should be because he is their instructor but they need to remember that he is only two years older than they are.  Four needs to “let his hair down” more often.




Would you stick around Drunk Four?
