---PLOT---
In Beatrice Priors dystopian Chicago society is divided into five factions each dedicated
to a different trait. Amity (the peaceful) Abnegation (the selfless) Candor (the honest) Eurodite (the
intelligent) and Dauntless (the brave). On a predetermined date of each year, all sixteen year olds
must choose the faction to which they will dedicate the rest of their lives. For Beatrice it is a choice
between staying with her family (in Abnegation) or choosing to be brave.
Throughout the incredibly brutal and competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames
herself Tris and a whole new person seems to come along with her name. Tris strives to figure out
where her friends really stand and where, if anywhere, the rather dashing, sometimes aggravating
boy fits into the life she has chosen. But Tris has a life threatening secret that will make or break her
existence in this post apocalyptic world, and threaten to unravel her "perfect" society.
