Conflicts in Divergent in Relationship to the Imagery Provided

Veronica Roth does great with imagery and describing situations. That is one of the reasons that I love her books! Her imagery always fits perfectly with the situation. For example, when Edward got stabbed in the eye, she stated, " A scream like that can only mean blood and bone and pain; that scream comes from the pit of the stomach and extends to every inch of the body. The lights come on. Edward lies on the floor next to his bed, clutching at his face. Surrounding his head is a halo of blood, and jutting between his clawing fingers is a silver knife handle. My heart thumping in my ears, I recognize it as a butter knife from the dining hall. The blade is stuck in Edwards eye" (Roth 202). That quote symbolizes a conflict in Divergent because Tris wasn't really sure what to do at first and no one had any idea of who did it. Roth always uses descriptive words so that you can really picture what is going on. During this quote she uses "jutting", " a halo of blood". You can hear the scream when she says,  "A scream like that can only mean blood and bone and pain; that scream comes from the pit of the stomach and extends to every inch of the body." Her language choices really help you understand what is happening and it makes you feel like you are there witnessing it. Through out the book there are a lot of conflicts and Roth describes each one so that you can fully understand it.
