Divergent By Veronica Roth; All Beginning Prompts

I have just started reading the book Divergent and I am already half way through. The book is just so magnificent so far. A girl named Beatrice(Tris) is born into the faction called Abnegation, where people are known to be selfless and, as the word defines, refuse or deny oneself for the sake of another. There are 5 factions; Dauntless, Abnegation, Candor, Amity, and Erudite. At the choosing ceremony, where people will be told what faction they belong to, Tris' aptitude test is a bit different than that of a typical person. Tori, the overseer says that the results were inconclusive and that she is a Divergent. Under no circumstances was she to tell anyone this. When she arrives at the choosing ceremony, Tris selects the faction Dauntless, which is known for people who are brave and fearless. In choosing this, Tris is followed up by a series of tasks that would've seemed impossible for a person from Abnegation, which include jumping off a high building, fist to fist combat, capture-the-flag but more serious, and fear tests. All which test the ability of Tris. I predict that her being Dauntless will lead to and world wide battle in which each faction is fighting against each other. In future books, I believe that the plot and conflict will escalate to bringing a lot more difficulties and deaths within each faction. I really look forward to finishing reading the first book, and the final two books.

I chose this book because many of my friends have recommended it to me. They said it was an amazing book and that the movie was coming out in March.
