One Book * One School * One Community
This summer, we will become a Divergent Madison! Join the entire JMHS community as we read Divergent by Veronica Roth. Use this blog to participate in discussions. Please note that discussions are broken into chapter sections to prevent spoilers. Email us if you have any questions or concerns.
This section starts with Tris questioning her choice in factions. Some of this has to do with missing her family and feelings of being homesick.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: Could you choose as Tris did to leave your Family to join another Faction that you are more suited for?
The second part of this section is about Tris going through her final simulation and facing her fears.
Questions to think about: What do you think your fears would be? How many fears do you have? Does facing your fears make them fade? Does facing your fears make you brave?
The last part of this section has Tris questioning her relationship with Tobias. This is one of her fears she had to face in the simulation, her wariness of affection from another person.
Question: Did you like the relationship between Tris and Tobias? Did it seem real or too rushed?
I feel that facing your fears makes you stronger, and it does make your fears fade away. The more you face your fear, the less scary it seems. It ends up not bothering you because you've seen it already. Like Tris, your mind will start to tell you that it's okay and that it is not real.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I do feel that the fear will never fully go away. Deep inside, you will still be afraid, but the fear won't seem like a big deal, and you'll be able cope with it easily.
