Divergent Connections

My recent book is very relatable to me, the world, and the other books I've read. For instance, one text to text connection is that Divergent is similar to The Hunger Games. I think this because both are dystopian sci-fi novels. Also, Katniss and Triss both are very responsible.

You might be wondering how I could find similarites in my life compared to the crazy society in Divergent. While the worlds are extremely different, the characters aren't. For example, Tris is very unsure at the beginning of the book. I relate to that because I change my mind on things a lot. For instance, I can never decide to buy something or to not. I think that if I were faced with the big decision of choosing a faction that Tris has, then I would have even harder of a time.

Lastly, a text to world connection is that in many places, such as an Aborigine Tribe, if you choose to leave, you cannot come back. This is very similar to Tris because if she chooses to be dauntless, then she will basically be disowning her family. That's something I would never want to do...

If the idea about the Aborigine Tribe interests you check out this link!
