The first and most important thing I learned was about what factions actually. I assumed that it would be a place where they worked or what they did with their lives but instead it was more like what they would specialize in or what trait best suits that person. There are 5 factions:
Abnegation, suited for people who are kind, Amity, best for people who can make peace or are peaceful, Candor, honesty, erudite, Brave, and Dauntless, Braveness.
Each of these factions are also personality traits and each person is tested for what faction they have. I believe that Caleb is easily fits in with the Abnegation faction. Especially on page 36 where he said,"“Beatrice…We should think of our family…But. But we must also think of ourselves.” He seems to be the caring type of person, but after seeing him after his test with Tori I don't know. However Beatrice is kind of a mystery even she doesn't know what faction she will be in. I personally hope it's not the cliche Dauntless bravery thing that have billions of times.
The final thing I noticed was how similar Divergent is to " The Giver." Especially how you were given a job that you would do for the rest of your life. And also they are both set in a dystopian society. It will be interesting to see more comparisons throughout the story.
