Divergent Book Discussion (20)

CHAPTER 20
More simulations, this time it’s different. Tris is going to drown alive. However, her divergence allows her to break
free. Four tells her to keep that secret
under control. Tris goes to Tori,
seeking questions.
Today's Topics:
Being Divergent and its Dangers
From what I gather, I guess the danger in being Divergent is being able to see the reality in the fear simulations (at least in the Dauntless faction). Or maybe even being able to discern the truth and lies in the simulations is dangerous. I find this rather ironic because in the real world, a lot of people (like advertisers, politicians, newscasters, etc.) do not want citizens to see the world from their own perspective, but instead see it through the media’s eyes. Also, in doing this, the sense of independence and freedom is taken away in both the real world and in Tris’s world. I kind of knew from the start that this world with factions had something wrong with it. I mean what place wouldn’t like or accept people who had more than the Dauntless, Erudite, Amnity, Abnegation, or Candor qualities? But, since being divergent is dangerous, Tris will have to be careful when it comes time for the upper Dauntless leaders to watch her go through the fear simulations, or she may get herself killed.
It is dangerous being Divergent. Why?
Why is being Divergent so dangerous?
It is still a mystery.
Four it seems is on her side which is definitely a good
thing because I would cry if he was against her. He is such a cutie-pie. He said he was going to delete the footage of
her simulation, however, I think that would also cause problems because
everyone is going to be wondering where Tris’ footage for that day is. I don’t know how he can do that. Since he is a computer wiz, I’m sure he will
just make something up manually probably.
All I can say is Divergent people should have nothing to do
with Dauntless because Dauntless is just going to be the death of them.
What makes a person Divergent?
