My initial thoughts corresponding to the first twenty pages of the story, relate to the theme Power and Significance. The story begins by introducing Beatrice and her family and their quality which their life is primarily dependant on. It introduces Beatrice and the quality of her family which is Abnegation. In her society there are various kinds of qualities of people. Abnegation( the selfless), Candor(the honest), Amity (the peaceful), Erudite(the intelligent), Dauntless(the brave) are the five qualities and choices describing a person. She and her family belongs to Abnegation. One day at school, there was an aptitude test being conducted where no preparation helps the test. The test describes the choices which life is going to depend on. These choices take a major role in determining one's condition of his/her life. With a tense and nervous mind, Beatrice takes the aptitude test. The reports must be kept confidential and as a secret. The reports are out stating Beatrice belongs to Divergent. This is a dangerous portion and part of her choice, which affects her entire life. The theme is considered similar emphasizing the importance of those powers which are described as Choices. In "Power and Significance", power is mentioned as the choices chosen in a person's life; and its significant impact on one's life. Choices take the main position involving tough decisions but, the life is determined by the choice chosen. By my opinion, this theme best relates to the ongoing story for the rest of the time. It is depicting on ongoing choices which are considered power taking major role in plot and and content of the story. "ONE CHOICE CAN TRANSFORM YOU' is a powerful statement used by Veronica Roth which is mostly similar to the chosen theme. Power can transform any life of a human being. This book is related to significance of choosing good choices and choosing them wisely. The approaches and main point for me to chose this theme is it, motivates my mind how choices must be chosen wisely and its effects on life. This theme shared similarities which the main theme which resulted me in choosing and comparing both themes. -SUJANA PRUDHIVI :)
