Divergent Book Discussion (21)
Friday, April 19, 2013
Hey, people from Earth and other people who are not from here, for the next 6 weeks we will be giving you the awesomeness that is DIVERGENT by Veronica Roth. Be sure to show up, because we are giving away some goodies, check it out HERE. Just a side note, I will be asking a question after each discussion post. Be sure to follow the discussion and don’t be scared to join in on our discussion/ questions. Those who entered the contest will receive extra entries for answering a question. Every week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we will discuss three chapters per week: tell you about the plot, and other random bits of spicy goodness that you should definitely know about (all relating to Divergent). Just for your curiosity: helping me out with this discussion is Jackie, one of my best friends (please say hello to her). Basically these posts will be categorized by person. Jackie hasn't read the book so be sure to read her first impressions while she reads along and if you have read Divergent, be sure to read my input (this will be the my second read through). If you missed a post and want to check out the schedule, go HERE. Come and join us in our quest of discussing DIVERGENT.CHAPTER 21
Tris is number one in the second round for initiates and
Peter just can’t have that. Four saves
the day though!
Today's Topics:
Al and so-called Friends
I know that Tris’s
friends see her as the underdog, but I expected them to at least be a bit happy
for her when she got top rank. I mean come on, you are supposed to be her
friends for crying out loud. Jesse. I mean even Uriah, a guy who is her friend,
but not even a close one shows enthusiasm for her being number one. But what do
Christina, Will, and Al do? Well for starters, we know Al tries to kill her,
while Christina and Will are so upset with her for doing well. HORRIBLE
FRIENDS. I mean come on, you are supposed to be Dauntless, and I would think
that would be being courageous enough to CONGRATULATE YOUR BEST FRIEND FOR
BEATING YOUR BUTTS OUT OF FIRST RANK. But nope, you just want to moan and be
babies about the whole situation, so know what? I NO LONGER LIKE ANY OF YOU
besides Tris, Four, Uriah, or anyone else who actually SUPPORTS AND HAS FAITH
in Tris. Stop being babies and apologize to Tris… WELL GET TO IT… NOW!
This has got to be one of my favorite chapters because it’s
written in such a way that I want to go on forever but it feels like it is only
two pages. It is one of the best Four
and Tris moments. Here’s another side of
him that we did not see before.
Yeah, what is going on with these so-called friends. And, excuse me, what is Al doing helping
Peter and his gang out? Al is currently
busy trying to find himself and is in a tough spot. However, I don’t understand why he is there
in the first place. This is where I
start having no problem with Al, from this point onward. Al, in this scene, is depicted as a follower
and coward and, really, I wish he was stronger than that.
All her friends just drop her and I’m happy that Uriah and the
others are able to have a good time with her.
Plus, we get a little hand-holding action with Four and Tris. Oh, baby, I love those two together. More on that next week.
What would have you done if you were Christina, Al, or Will?
