5. How does this text deal with individuals and groups? Are the people acting alone and in competition with one another, or does the text help us imagine people working together?
I am only around 20 pages into my new book, Divergent by Veronica Roth, but I can answer this question. In the book, the world is consisted of Factions. These factions are how (and where) you will live for the rest of your life. This Faction is also how you act.
There are 5 Factions:
DAUNTLESS: fearless
ABNEGATION: selfless
ERUDITE: knowledgeable
CANDOR: truthful
AMITY: friendly/peaceful
There is also a rare case:
DIVERGENT: different
This grouping kind of reminds me of the Upper class, Middle class, and Lower class. It is similar because they are groups, and it sort of determines how you are living- poor, rich, or average. These groups also kind of remind me of school, how there are certain "cliques," and certain people who always hang out with each other.
I don't know yet if these groups work together in the book, because I'm not that far into it to know if they do. I do know that these groups are the society, and that they are allowed to have contact with each other.
