Abnegation the selfless, Dauntless the brave, Erudite the intelligent, Candor the honest, and Amity the peaceful. When all teenagers reach the age of 16, they must choose to either stay in their faction of birth, or transfer into another faction. Beatrice Prior must make the decision to stay with her family in a faction she feels she isn't right for, or to transfer into another faction, and leave her family behind. What follows is a highly competitive initiation, where the newly renamed Tris must make some tough decisions, but she must also keep a secret that she was warned could mean death, while she juggles friends, initiation, and a newfound love interest. But there is a secret lying beneath everything that threatens to tear the city apart.

The book was released in 2011 and the movie in 2014. The film focuses on diversity and the enforcement of rules and behaviours to people without allowing them to choose and act freely.
"What makes you different, makes you dangerous" is said in the film.]]> 2018-02-23 04:19:57 UTC https://padlet.com/faye_thess/8j6leksxy86x/wish/234571415 What our students thought about the film... faye_thess https://padlet.com/faye_thess/8j6leksxy86x/wish/234572499 Our students have written some of their thoughts about the film..]]> 2018-02-23 04:28:36 UTC https://padlet.com/faye_thess/8j6leksxy86x/wish/234572499 Georgia faye_thess https://padlet.com/faye_thess/8j6leksxy86x/wish/234572827 In, my opinion, the meaning of the movie is that we are all "divergent".In fact, we all have the capability to excel in honesty, intelligence,selflessness, bravery and peace if we want to. No special traits are needed. We must have on our mind that every day is a new beginning and that the testing will never end. Furthermore, the movie is about a girl that comes to a point in her life where she has to choose whether to stay safe with her family or to be herself. In other words, she has to come to a place  in her life where the paths are divergent ,going in completely different directions. She must choose the right one for her. That means, that one day all of us will come to choose between the warmth that our family or someone we love gives to us and doing something that defines what we truly are.]]> 2018-02-23 04:32:23 UTC https://padlet.com/faye_thess/8j6leksxy86x/wish/234572827 Elisavet faye_thess https://padlet.com/faye_thess/8j6leksxy86x/wish/234573429 Beatrice Prior, through the delicate power of her acting, does something not every actress can do. She shows what a fearful but daring personality can do. She is a smart, sympathetic heroine that shows the value of being true to yoursels and not just comform to what is easy and simple in life.]]> 2018-02-23 04:40:04 UTC https://padlet.com/faye_thess/8j6leksxy86x/wish/234573429 Eva and Ioanna faye_thess https://padlet.com/faye_thess/8j6leksxy86x/wish/234581708 In our opinion, the movie was really good because it shows the differences between people and their opinions. The plot was amazing and so were the actors. We felt sorry for what was happening to some heroes. We loved the adventure and enjoyed the scary scenes.]]> 2018-02-23 06:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/faye_thess/8j6leksxy86x/wish/234581708 Aggeliki faye_thess https://padlet.com/faye_thess/8j6leksxy86x/wish/234582023 I loved the movie from the first time I watched it. The meaning was original for such a good movie and it is good to know that successful films can present and deal with the diversity and acceptance of people. In the movie, they believed that being different means being dangerous. We shouldn't be scared of someone different from us but we should listen and try to understand more than we truly do.]]> 2018-02-23 06:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/faye_thess/8j6leksxy86x/wish/234582023 Sia faye_thess https://padlet.com/faye_thess/8j6leksxy86x/wish/234582755 By watching the movie"Divergent" a lot of things cleared in my mind. Being different is not a big deal as everyone thinks. The girl in 
the movie might be different but nobody understood it in the first place. The way she was acting was the same and everyone loved her.
Watching this movie made me understand that nobody's perfect and that different is beautiful. If all of us were the same, life would be
boring so, difference between everyone is perfect.
