Annotation:

Tris is not your typical girl in trouble, as she is strong, smart, something else that no one is supposed to know about, Divergent, so when she is forced to choose a faction and leave her family behind, she choses Dauntless, because she knows that courage might be the only thing that keeps her alive.

Book Talk Technique: The Wrap Back to the Title

The world has changed, and people are not free to possess whatever personality they like. They can be only one of the five chosen factions in society, which are-

Dauntless - The brave

Abnegation- The selfless

Erudite- The intelligent

Amenity- The peaceful

Candour- The honest

When 16 year old, Beatrice (Tris) Prior learns that does not fit into one of the factions like everyone else and that she is divergent, she must hide the truth and find a way to pretend she is normal. But, when the factions begin a war with one another, Tris quickly realizes that this new world is a dangerous place for the Divergent.
