Divergent Theme (Saranporn)

In the book Divergent , by Veronica Roth , there are many themes that could apply to Divergent. One of the theme statement would be ‘Family will always be your first priority’. For example : “My mother hugs me, and what little resolve I have left almost breaks. I clench my jaw and stare up at the ceiling, where globe lanterns hang and fill the room with blue light. She holds me for what feels like a long time, even after I let my hands fall. Before she pulls away, she turns her head and whispers in my ear, "I love you. No matter what." ”page 480(in kindle). Another example would be Tris is now moved to dauntless but she still always think of her mother because no one can cut the bond between family. “Scrubbing the floor when no one else wanted to was something that my mother would have done. If I can't be with her, the least I can do is act like her sometimes.” page 2240(in kindle). Also when Tris’s mother died to protect Tris from the Dauntless. The death of Tris’s mother represents bravery and it shows that she loves her daughter very much and no matter what she will always love Tris.  “ It isn't just brave that she died for me; it is brave that she did it without announcing it, without hesitation, and without appearing to consider another option.”page 4749(in kindle). As well as when Tris’s father chooses to go and distract the Dauntless so Tris can go and stop the stimulation “My father jumps out of the elevator and sprints down the rights hallway,drawing the Dauntless guards after him.” page 4930(in kindle), this shows how much her father loves Tris and ready to sacrifice himself for her. These are the reasons why I think that ‘Family will always be your first priority’ is the theme for Divergent.
