Post 9: Heroes and Villains

In my book Divergent, I think the main character Tris, I an epic hero. She faces challenges and tries to fight and overcome them. While overcoming these challenges she makes friends and enemies who help and harm her. Tris tries to follow the rules but sometimes she has to break morals and promises to save the ones she loves. She has to keep secrets than can kill her so she has to keep these secrets from her friends and family.

 In the book, society is cast into five factions: Abnegation- the selfless, Euridite- the smart, Amity- the people of peace, Dauntless- the brave, and Candor- the honest. Every person is cast into one of these factions based on a test they take when they are sixteen. But Tris is special. Tris is Divergent, so she has the characteristics of more than one faction. She is smart, selfless, and brave. Being Divergent isn’t a superpower but she can still do stuff that others can’t. Tris doesn’t remind me of any other character because she isn’t really cliché. Sometimes she makes really stupid decisions that make you want to hate her, but she is also there to save her friends and her friends are there to save her. Sometimes she isn’t brave but she always tells herself, “I can do this.”

The villains in my book change throughout the series. I’m reading the third book right now and the bad person is Evelyn. She is wronged in some way because she was kicked out of her faction and is now factionless but is trying to rise up to power. She is obsessed with revenge and wants to destroy the factions and their leaders. She once said she would never do anything like the faction leaders but now she has power of all the factionless and is using it harshly. She detached from everyone that meant something to her.
