Divergent Thematic Prompts

I believe that the author wrote this novel because something like this could easily happen to us. When you look at a school, you can already see all of the different groups or factions. There are the populars, nerds, jocks, skaters, etc. Most people would just stay inside there "groups" but then there are the ones that don't really care about groups and like to hang out with everyone. Those people would be considered Divergent. In both our world and in the book people tend to call those people weird and/or sometimes feel threatened by them because they are "different". I think the author is telling us about reality in a way that people would find interesting, while realizing how similar our world is to this book. Another reason that the author wrote this novel could be that he wants us to realize how choices can effect us, sometimes good and sometimes bad. That also connects to real life because we make decisions all the time, even if we don't notice it.
