Insurgent: why do you think the author wrote this piece?

I believe that Veronica Roth wrote this series because she wants to show that being different is a good thing. In the Divergent series, there are multiple factions that are based on certain  qualities, and at age 16, everyone is required to choose a faction they want to stay in for the rest of their lives. Abnegation is for selfless traits, Candor is for truth, Amity is for peace, Dauntless is for bravery, and Erudite is for knowledge and curiosity. Divergent people are people that can fit into more than one faction and the government considers them to be dangerous.

I think that Veronica Roth wants us to know that being different is good, if everyone believes in the same things and is exactly the same, there may not be new ideas or anyone to disagree with decisions the government may believe is good, but is actually very wrong. If everyone was the same, our society would get nowhere and ideas would all be the same. How do you think the world would be like if everyone had the same exact ideas and beliefs?

    I believe in a world where every one believes the same thing will be the perfect world. In todays society everyone is different and we embrace it because that is good in are society and because the alternatives are impossible. the alterative is we are all the same which is the perfect world that can never be achieved. it is perfect because there is no conflict and with every one on the same page so much could be achieved. this is in my opinion the goal and purpose in life, to find equality, a purpose humanity will be striving for until we destroy our selves. This alternative can not be achieved because differences are inevitable and humanity will never be the same no matter how hard we try. PS: I have not read the book and do not no if this is relevant and am just simply answering the question in my own opinion
