Divergent: Week of 12/16/13

Pages: beginning-end
Prompt: summarize what you read
draw four objects that represent what you're reading

  This week I finished reading Divergent by Veronica Roth. It's such an amazing book! Divergent has a futuristic setting. It is set in Chicago but it's like a future version of it. The people are divided into five factions. Each faction has thinks one virtue is best. The five factions are Dauntless (bravery), Abnegation (selflessness), Erudite (knowledge), Amity (friendship), Candor, (telling it how it is). The main character, Beatrice, grew up in Abnegation. In the book, they must take an aptitude test to determine what faction they belong in. Beatrice is Divergent, which is rare. she must keep it a secret to keep her safe. She then chooses to be in Dauntless.

 I drew pictures this week. I drew all the faction's emblems. One that really sticks out to me is Abnegation. Abnegation has one hand holding another which is like lending a hand. It shows what Abnegation is really passionate about, which is helping others. It's important to what I read because that is the faction that Tris came from. Something else I drew is Tris' tattoos. In Divergent it says that she got a tattoo of three ravens flying. Each raven represents her family members that she left when she joined Dauntless. The other tattoo is the symbol for Dauntless. It is a circle with fire in it. I also drew that word "fear" in a messy way. The reason that it represents what I'm reading is that in Divergent, they had to do simulations and face their biggest fears. Another thing I drew is Four. I made him look serious because in the book everyone sees him as a tough and serious guy.

  1. I'm glad you were finally able to read Divergent. I can promise you that if you read Insurgent you will enjoy it. I also like your picture of Four, honestly that is kind of how I imagined him.

  4. Athziry,
    Great blog this week, I really enjoyed it! I think you did a great job briefly summarizing the story! It was a great and to the point and overview of the whole book. Your drawings were flawless, you're so talented! I especially like how you added the faction's emblems because I think they add so much to the story! I also like how you drew the tattoo on Tris, it represented so much not only to the story, but also to Tris! Overall great blog this week, and amazing job!
