Divergent Theme Pou

Theme is a lesson about life or nature that is given to you by the author as the story develops to the end. As for an example from the book, Divergent. The theme of this story for me is, “Don’t be afraid, be brave” because as the story develops the main character, Tris, faced many conflicts finding who she was and making a choice which could meant her life. From location 654 from the Kindle there was a quote that stated, “I am proud. It will get me into trouble someday, but today it makes me brave.” This quote meant that Tris, the main character, is proud of who she is and the things that she faced either it is good or bad she would learn and make her brave. I love this quote from her because it tells us about who she is and how she tells herself to be brave and does not be afraid of anything. The second quote that supports my theme is in location 658 which was, “I can’t back down now. Not with all the people betting I’ll fail behind me.” This tells us that Tris is going to take a very dangerous risk and do something that could cause her own life. She is trying her best to stay brave and continue on without being scared of anything that awaits her. Next, at location: 1049 “A brave man never surrenders.” This quote is telling us that a man is facing something that he is not ready for and is also in one of his fears. The man is saying this to himself to make himself more brave than before and walk past his fear. The last quote and tells that my theme is definitely one of the themes of the book, Divergent, is from location 466, “I am selfish. I am brave.” This sentence tells us about a person who sees himself as a selfish person who left something or someone behind and is trying to tell himself that he is brave so he can go back and recover all the things that he/her had lost. There are a lot more quotes and words that are in the book that tells me that my theme,“Don’t be afraid, be brave.” is true but I chose these 4 because they’ve got a lot of meaning in them and all describes a person that is afraid and is trying to be more brave.
