Faction

In the book Divergent there are 5 different fractions;  Dauntless, Abnegation, Erudite, Candor, Amity. But there si one special group who dosent have their own fraction it is Divergent and they have traits of all the fractions and are a threat to the government and they want to get rid of them. All different fractions have different qualities and jobs to help the city.

Dauntless:
-fearless
-undaunted

Abnegation:
-refuse or deny oneself
-to relinquish; give up

Erudite:
-great knowledge
-The word “erudite” focuses on knowledge rather than intelligence– intelligence being something you’re born with, and can’t necessarily control, and knowledge being something that you acquire. I find that interesting, given what I know about Erudite.

Candor:
-freedom from bias; fairness
-open and sincere

Amity:
-friendship, peace
-mutual understanding and a peaceful relationship, especially between nations


Divergent:
-diverging; differing
- (of a mathematical expression) having no finite limits

Divergent

     My book Divergent is a very good book and I cant stop reading it! I really enjoy the whole concept and characters. There is always something interesting happening and keeps you reading. The story takes place in a world similar to The Hunger Games where there are different factions and they have different skills. Though there are way less then The Hunger Games and you get to change yours once you become at certain age. I cant wait to keep on reading!
