Divergent by Veronica Roth

The most important line from chapter four is, "It has been this way since the beginning of the great peace, when the factions were formed. I think the system persists because we're afraid of what might happen if it didn't: war." (Roth 33) I think this is the most important line from this chapter because it really sums up the reason behind the faction system. The factions were formed in the beginning of a peaceful period, which I think must have happened after a long war. The sentence also demonstrates how important and rooted the faction system is to this society. I think that it is ironic that she used the word 'afraid' because she is considering Dauntless which is the faction that values bravery the most, which is the opposite of fear.

The best thing about my book is that it is not predictable. I really don't know which faction she is going to choose, which makes me want to keep reading. I don't like to read books that are too predictable because they get boring easily and I don't want to keep reading them. At this point I am curious which faction she is going to choose and how this choice is going to affect her and the plot in general. However I suspect that whatever her choice may be, I suspect that it will be the beginning of a chain reaction that unravels her society.
