Comparison
In my opinion this novel was a lot like the hunger games. One reason I think this is because divergent and the hunger games both have messed up governments. In the hunger games the government is messed up because they make kids/young adults go into games to kill eachother. In divergent their government is messed up because they think that divergents are messed up so they want to get ride of divergents. Another reason these books are similar are because they are both split up, divergent has factions and the hunger games has districts.
