Welcome back ladies and gentlemen. I have finally finished reading Divergent by Veronica Roth. Did you know Veronica Roth went to our Top Ten college Northwestern? When I found that out I was really amazed because I did not know that this college had a good writing program. And everyone I know is like I don't want to go there and they want to be a writer.
 I have read this book five times now. And every time I read this I feel like I find out more about Beatrice Prior-later known as Tris- and her family more but really towards the end of the book. And I found a lot more about Abnegation. And I found out that some people she cares about are also Divergent just like her. I still can not believe that after reading this book that she saw both her parents die and she still had the strength to stop the simulation that made the Dauntless kill Abnegation. Just because Erudite wanted to run the faction system.
 But by far this is my favorite movie and book. There are so many different things that happen in the book that were never shown in the movie. I recommend this book for anyone any age not just teens. And this book for me at least makes me want to stand up more for what I believe in. And I hope when you sit down and read through the first book in the Divergent Trilogy it will make you feel the same way I do.
 Now I am reading the second book in the Divergent Trilogy. The second book in the series is Insurgent. The book starts on the train going to Amity headquarters. The amity faction believes in peace. They wear red and yellow clothing. On the way there Tris is in the train with two people she hates,four- known as Tobias- and her brother Caleb after her parents died.
 I am really confused on this part. How is she not crying? I know if I saw my parents die I definitely would be shedding many tears and not care who is watching me. And also having to save and sit with people I hate I could never do. But saving them I know I could do. But I would give them mean look after they tried to do what they did.
 I like how she trays to look past them trying to kill her and Tobias and focuses on what is really important. Which is safety since Erudite and Dauntless are probably going to hunt them down. Because they stopped the simulation. They only did it because of what tries said. She said every minute that they waste an Abnegation dies and another Dauntless soldier becomes a murder. I wonder what is going to happen next in the book Insurgent. Well I hope you enjoyed reading my blog.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen! I am now half way done with book Divergent by Veronica Roth. In my earlier blogs I wondered if Tris and Four would become closer and more than just friends. What I have read so far in the book they are becoming closer and closer. Four flirts with Tris when she is in the chasm in the dauntless compound after she wins the capture the flag game at navy pier that night. As Tris and Four become closer and they talk more and more. Eric turns into a horrible person and a worse trainer. He makes Al stand in front of the target because he is scared of airborne knives. And if he flinches he will become faction-less. I don't like Eric because of this reason I feel like he likes to hurt people not help them.So Tris works up the courage to stand up for her friend Al knowing he stay in front of the target and not cry. She says anyone can stand in front of the target it doesn't prove anything. So she takes his place and stays there letting four throw knives at her. She has become stronger and she is no longer scared. I absolutely love this part because she speaks up to save a friend. Even though she is not supposed to but she does not care. This is another example of where she stands for something that she believed in. Some people don't do this every day but they let things happen in everyday lives. Veronica Roth makes the character Tris a role model for ever teen. She works hard to become dauntless and she never gives up. Her character is a good person and stands up for what she believes in. If you don't already work up the courage to stand up for something that you believe in or someone. Thank you so much for reading my blog. And I hope you have a nice day.
