Post #5: Connections to Insurgent

Text-To-Text:

In Insurgent, Tris Prior is a lot like Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games. They are both main characters in their books, and they both have to fight against a corrupt government. They have love lives that are stretched to the limit due to the fighting and conflict within each book. Their personalities are also very similar because they’re both willing to risk their own lives to save the lives of others. They both have a strong will to persevere when faced with opposition.

Text-To-Self:

If I were to choose a faction to live in, I would probably choose Abnegation, but Amity would be my second choice. I would choose Abnegation first because I admire their selflessness and love of peace. They seem like very kind people, and I think I would feel at home in that faction. Amity would be my second choice because the people there seem like very fun-loving, creative, peaceful people. They love color and happiness and the outdoors. But most of all, I like that they respect and care for one another.

Text-To-World:

Throughout both Divergent and Insurgent, the “Factionless” are mentioned. To me, they are the equivalent of homeless people in our world. The Factionless are exactly what their title says; without a faction. They are without a faction because they either didn’t choose one or failed initiation. They roam the streets and have little food except for what the members of the Abnegation faction bring them. They don’t have very clean or desirable living conditions.
