giới thiệu divergent (novel)
In Beatrice Prior’s dystopian world of Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue: Sincerity (the honest), Selflessness (the selfless), Fearless (the brave), Friendship (the peaceful ones), and scholar (the intelligent one). On a designated day each year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is; he cannot have both. so she makes a decision that shocks everyone, including herself.
During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice changes her name to Tris and fights alongside her fellow initiates to live out the choice they have made. together they must undergo extreme physical tests of endurance and intense psychological simulations, some with devastating consequences. As the initiation transforms them all, Tris must determine who her friends really are and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she has chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one that he keeps hidden from everyone because he has been warned that it could mean death. And as she discovers growing unrest and conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also discovers that her secret could help save the ones she loves. . . or it could destroy it.

a question and answer with author veronica roth
Q: What advice would you give to young aspiring writers who long to live a success story like yours?
roth: One piece of advice I have is: You want more than just success. success is a beautiful thing, but your desire to say something, your value and your identity should not depend on it, because it is not guaranteed, it is not permanent and it is not enough. so work hard, fall in love with the writing (the characters, the story, the words, the themes) and make sure you are who you are regardless of the circumstances of your life. That way, when the good things come, they don’t warp you, and when the bad things hit you, you don’t fall apart.
p: you are a young author. Is it your current adult perspective or your not so recent adolescent perspective that generated the factions in the development of this story? do you think teenagers or adults are more likely to fit into the categories of our current society?

roth: Other aspects of my identity have more to do with factions than my age. the faction system reflects my beliefs about human nature: that we can turn even something as well-intentioned as virtue into an idol, or into something evil. and that virtue as an end in itself is of no value to us. i spent a large part of my adolescence trying to be as “good” as possible so i could prove myself to the people around me, to myself, to god, to everyone. it’s only now that I’m a bit older that I realize that I can’t be truly “good” and that it’s my reasons for fighting for virtue that need adjustment more than my behavior. in a sense, divergent is me writing through that realization: everyone in beatrice’s society believes that virtue is the end, the answer. I think that’s a bit twisted.
I think we all secretly love and hate categories: We love having firm control over our identities, but we hate being confined, and I never loved or hated them more than when I was a teenager. That said: Although we hear a lot about high school cliques, I think adults categorize each other just as often, just more subtly. it is a dangerous tendency of ours. and it starts in adolescence.

p: If you could add one more faction to the world within Divergent, what would it be?
roth: I tried to build the factions to encompass a wide range of virtues. self-sacrifice, for example, includes five of the traditional “seven heavenly virtues”: chastity, temperance, charity, patience, and humility. That said, it would be interesting to have a faction focused on industriousness, where diligence and hard work are valued more, and laziness is not allowed. they would be constantly on the move, and would probably be happy to replace the factionless. and hard-working people can certainly take their work too far, as all factions do with their respective virtues. however, I’m not sure what they would use. monkeys, probably.
p: what do you think are the advantages, if any, for the society you have created in divergent?
roth: All the advantages I see only seem like advantages to me because I live in our current society. for example, members of your society do not focus on certain things: race, religion, sexual orientation, political affiliation, etc. I mean, a world where you look different from most and nobody cares? sounds good to me. but when I think about it more, I realize that they are doing exactly the same as us, but with different criteria to distinguish us from others. instead of the color of your skin, it is the color of your shirt that people evaluate, or the results of your aptitude test. same problem, different system.
p: What book are you currently reading and how has it changed you, if at all?
roth: I recently finished imaginary girls from nova ren sum, which I would call “contemporary with a touch of the paranormal”, or something like that. it’s about a girl whose sister has a powerful kind of magnetism within the confines of a particular town, and how their love for each other breaks some things and puts them back together. it was refreshing to read a young adult book that is about sisterhood rather than romance. is one of those books that makes you love a character and then hate a character and then love them again, that shows you that people are not all good or all bad, but something in between. the imaginary girls gave me a lot to think about, and the writing was lovely, something I always love to see.
