I always felt the Hunger Games was more about the theme of war touching on the many complexities of it, it was also about power and desensitization. The only real similarities are the split up communities, the wars that are coming, and female protagonists. What I still don't get is why so many people compare Divergent to the Hunger Games.
I won't be seeing the movie until the next week, but I really hope to enjoy it. I have to say I'll probably use this as a drawing reference also. I love the many pictures that depicted the communities, characters, and costumes. I just realized today that I've read some things more than once and I finished the book some time ago. So I decided to buy it, and have read parts of it over the past few weeks in down time between other books. The Divergent Trilogy holds a special place in my heart though, having cried with each novel. Usually I don't buy these types of books until they are on sale for cheap (I got the Hunger Games Movie Companion at the Dollar Tree for a dollar) or as a gift. or it might be what destroys her.Instead of re-reading the book, having learned in the past that it will only ruin the movie from all the comparisons I'll make, I got a companion novel to the movie. And as she discovers unrest and growing conflict that threaten to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might be what helps her save those she loves. But Tris also has a secret: one she's kept hidden from everyone, because she's been warned it can mean death. As initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are-and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes-fascinating, sometimes-exasperating boy fits into the life she's chosen. Together, they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made.
So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is-she can't have both. On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue-Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent).
