Hannah's Divergent Theme Paragraph

Divergent Theme Paragraph

The theme of the book Divergent by: Veronica Roth is “Accept who you are because even if you are different, being different is your strength. An example of that are the tattoos, Four has the tattoos of all the factions on his back and Tris has her Tattoos of ravens and her tattoo of the abnegation and dauntless symbol. Four has the tattoos of all the factions because it symbolizes that he is divergent and also that he does not want to be only one faction. Tris has her raven tattoos to symbolizes the family members hat she left behind and her abnegation and dauntless tattoos are to symbolize “The old me, and the current me”. Tris is Divergent and at the end of the book she accepts it and she uses this to her advantage.  Tris has also shown traits like for instance wit, bravery, selflessness and Four also has these traits as well and becuase they have these traits they are different from the others who only have 1 defining trait. Tris’ inner conflict was that she did not know who she was but she later finds out and accepts this with the help of Four and her family. Tris also says on page 168 “I feel like someone breathed new air into my lungs. I am not Abnegation. I am not Dauntless. I am Divergent. And I can’t be controlled.”. This is why I think that the theme of Divergent is Accept who you are because even if you are different, that difference is your strength.
