Teen Review: Divergent (second review of this book)

Divergent Review by AI

This book is a very well produced book. The book creates a story of hatred and violence, but the book is telling a story in a very unique way!

In this story, the main character Beatrice (Tris) Prior is chosen to join the Dauntless faction, from the Abnegation faction where she grew up. When she became a Dauntless member, she is not ready for this transformation and she doubts herself for being good enough to be a member. But Tris learn that she needs to toughed up after seeing her friend commit suicide for not being good enough.

Tris meets a worker of the Faction named Tobias (Four). Four helps Tris become unstoppable and determined to continue as a Dauntless member. Once Tris becomes powerful and strong with Four's help, she learned there is something going on with the Factions that is strange. Tris cannot figure out what it is, but one night all the Dauntless community become under control along with some leaders. Tris and Four  are the only members not under control because they are both Divergent which is an uncommon faction issue which makes Tris and Four belong to many Factions, but choosing Dauntless. They eventually have to fight the leader who are bringing violence to these factions and they have to kill a few of their friends and family which makes the family members upset even though they are helping to protect the Factions and their hometown. The end of the book shows Tris, Four, Caleb (Tris's brother) and Marcus (Four's Dad) leaving on a train to hide from Jeanne, an evil leader who brought terror.

At first, reading this book it a slow moving story line because the book just talked about how their training and all the drama going on. But towards the middle and end of the book, the action started occurring. In which the violence and fighting happened which made the book very interesting. If I was to read the book again, I would think differently about it after reading all the sequels and watching all of the movies.

This book was a very good book in which I would recommend for teens/tweens. I would not recommend this book for children under the age of ten years old because there is a lot of violence, fighting, and abuse going on throughout the whole book. If I were to rate this book, I would give it an eight out of ten!

What's an Appropriate Curfew for High Schoolers?

Parents Magazine, Jan Faull, MEd, on deciding on a high school curfew for teens. My sophomore loves to go to parties with juniors and seniors and to stay out late. What's an appropriate curfew for a sophomore in high school? A.  It's time to put on your power-parenting persona and open up curfew negotiations. There's no need to worry too much, because deep in your teens' heart, he really wants a reasonable and somewhat flexible curfew. When your teen is out with friends, tired and ready to go home -- or just plain not liking the social scene -- it's difficult to say, "I'm tired, I'm going home." It's easier to say, "My curfew is 12:30. I'll be grounded if I'm not home soon." Despite this fact, you need to bear up as your son, like any self-respecting  teenager , will probably moan, stomp, and gripe while claiming, "None of my friends have curfews. You're a control freak." Let your son go on as such, it...
