She's in jail for being a traitor by releasing information that changed the city forever. After Tris lies her way out of jail, she's approached by a group called the Allegiant, whose goal is to get out of the city. They get out. The outside world looks pretty much the same as the inside world, just with more advertising and more ruined buildings. The group meets a patrol consisting of newcomer Zoe and Tobias's presumed dead Dauntless trainer Amar. Tris is given an old photo of her mother and some man. The man turns out to be David, the head of the Bureau, who, like Tris's mom, is a lot older now. David explains that Chicago is a great social experiment meant to correct genetic damage caused by government experiments intended to rid people of unwanted characteristics like violence, greed, "cowardice, dishonesty,  and stupidity"

People whose genes have healed are known as "Divergent." People whose genes have not healed are given the less glamorous moniker of "genetically damaged." After being tested by Matthew the lab tech, Tobias finds out he's not Divergent and gets put into the "genetically damaged" group. Tobias eventually brings Tris to meet Nita, who says she wants to steal some memory serum to keep David and the Bureau from using it to reset the memories of everyone in Chicago. Tris doesn't believe her, and she refuses to help Tobias. He goes anyway but was tricked and Nita tries to set off a bomb and use death serum.Nita gets arrested. Tobias manages to convince Evelyn to put an end to her power hunger and give up control of the city. 

The ending goes here ]]> 2017-03-25 05:16:50 UTC https://padlet.com/bbess/8fifwmuyssvs/wish/162542382 bbess https://padlet.com/bbess/8fifwmuyssvs/wish/162542602 I liked the overall idea of the book but it could have been brought together better, time wise. I know the point is to keep making books but it took to long to get to the ending. It's some unnecessary stuff you could have just taken out. Also I hate dual-pov's. It's very, very confusing. Especially in this book, sometimes you think it's tris and it's not.I did like some characters, like tobias sometimes. He wasn't just a lifeless sidekick, like he had meaning, his own purpose. The ending was most interesting because it just makes you go wooow, really? Are you serious right now?]]> 2017-03-25 05:28:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bbess/8fifwmuyssvs/wish/162542602 bbess https://padlet.com/bbess/8fifwmuyssvs/wish/162542825 I think the theme is one choice can destroy something no matter the size and I think this is showing how something smaller than the city is about to destroy it.]]> 2017-03-25 05:41:50 UTC https://padlet.com/bbess/8fifwmuyssvs/wish/162542825 bbess https://padlet.com/bbess/8fifwmuyssvs/wish/162542890 I would recommend this book. It is a good book and like every other book it has some flaws but in my opinion the pros outweigh the cons. Just prepare yourself for the ending. The reader I would recommend this to is someone who enjoys young adult , action, romantic books. Mainly teenage girls around my age. Just an opinion, not a stereotype.]]> 2017-03-25 05:44:54 UTC https://padlet.com/bbess/8fifwmuyssvs/wish/162542890 bbess https://padlet.com/bbess/8fifwmuyssvs/wish/162542991 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjVQ36NhbMk 
How to save a life is one of my all time favorite songs that I first heard on shows such as smallville and one tree hill. I chose this song because characters in this book lose friends and this is how they feel.]]> 2017-03-25 05:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/bbess/8fifwmuyssvs/wish/162542991
