Divergent: different doesn't mean bad
I have recently read the first book of the Divergent series. I thoroughly enjoyed the story plot and the characters. Tris and Four come alive in ways I never would have imagined. They are brave when I secretly wish I could be, defiant when they need to be, selfless when they desire anything but selflessness. They are divergent. In a world that puts people in factions and doesn't want those who think for themselves this is not good. But it is a reminder to me and can be for you my readers that being different isn't always bad. Tris puts her life on the line to save others. Four faces his greatest fear trying to give people a chance to save themselves. Being divergent is not rebellion against authority alone or a defiant self-pleasing act: it is recognizing one'a human nature and controlling it. It's truly living.
