Once the children of Chicago turn 16....they are forced to choose a faction. There are five options, Abnegation (the selfless), Candor (the honest), Amity (the peaceful), Erudite (the intelligent), and Dauntless (the brave). All of the 16 year olds go through testing to see which faction suits them. If they have more than one faction in the results, they are known as "Divergent". The children go through many life and death situations. They have the option to risk their life or chicken out, but live a factionless life.

My name is Makenzie S. I am a 14 year old student at Park View Middle School. In my free time I like to dance! If I had to choose a faction I would pick one to stick with all of my trustworthy friends so I would probably choose Amity (the peaceful). My friends would be there to help me through the difficulties!(:
