Divergent week 1-22-14 Finished *Spoilers*

• What are the two most important ideas from what you’ve been reading?

Probably that if you split people into categories based on how they think in order to keep peace, it won't work. Pretty much just don't even try. Utopias will never exist, there will always be conflict of some sort. I mean seriously, if there are such things as faction less, then it's not really much of a utopia now is it? Their pretty much homeless. If it was really a utopia that wouldn't happen.
"I see a faction less man standing on the corner up ahead.e wears ragged brown clothing and skin hangs from his jaw. He stares at me, and I stare back, unable to look away."

The second important idea that I got from Divergent was that peace never lasts, no matter how much you try to secure it. There will always be people trying to get their way, there will always be someone who messes up the system. Like Tris, she's Divergent. That messes up the system because she doesn't think the same way everyone else does, so she doesn't have complete loyalty.
"Beatrice," she says, "under no circumstances should you share this information with anyone. This is very important."

So pretty much peace never lasts, and splitting people up based on how they think doesn't work as a structure to base a civilization. However, if it did, there wouldn't be much of a story, now would there?
