Important Symbols #2: Divergent

Not many people know this book, but those that I know know this book love it.

These are the five factions of Divergent.

Abnegation: where the heroine, Beatrice, used to live. This is the faction for the selfless. They all wear grey and are only allowed watches for jewelry. Their seal is two hands joined to look like one person helping up another.

Amity: where the peaceful and the kind and cheerful people are. They wear only red and yellow. Their seal is a tree. (Fancy, I know.)

Candor: where the truthful and the honest are. They wear only black and white, for they believe truth is black and white. Their seal is a scale.

Dauntless: where Beatrice goes to become Tris. This is the faction for the brave and not the faint-hearted. People wear tight, black clothes, and are allowed whatever tattoos and freedom. Their seal is a flame.

Erudite: where the intelligent and the people who accept knowledge are. They wear at least one blue piece of clothing. Their seal is an eye (staring at you).

Credits to Divergent Trilogy wikia for the image. It's small, but click on it and it will be big enough to see.

Tris also gets herself tattoos: three ravens on her collarbone, and the Abnegation and Dauntless seals on each shoulder.

Important Symbols #1: Hunger Games

Because I am a bored little brat, I will be compiling a list of symbols/important items that are from a book/movie/text that people would draw on paper or on their bodies as tattoos (permanent or temporary), whichever suits their style.

These are some symbols from the Hunger Games.

The mockingjay pin.

This pin, in the book, was given to Katniss by her friend Madge. However, Madge isn't in the movie. Instead, Katniss gets it from the Hob for free, gives it to Prim to "protect her", and Prim gives it back to Katniss after she is reaped "to protect her" too. (Cycle of life.)

In the book, it is said that the mockingjay pin is "a small circular pin... Real gold," and " a small bird in flight." Over time, this pin has morphed into a gold circular pin, with the mockingjay swooping to bite an arrow.

The mockingjay can also be seen in two other versions: one on the cover of Catching Fire, and the other on the cover of Mockingjay.






















There is also nightlock, which one can only assume is actually a blueberry. Nightlock is a poisonous berry, used by Katniss and Peeta to become the victors of the 74th Hunger Games.
(Don't know why anyone would want to draw blueberries on themselves, though.)


Then, there are the seals of each District. There are twelve Districts in Panem, each with different main products they provide.

District One has the luxury items: gold, silver... yeah. Luxury things I can't think of. Their seal is a castle with four turrets, with one of the turrets placed above the center one; light is shining behind the two. This castle is protected by a sword on each side.

District Two are the masons: stones, bricks, and weapons. (Probably why they have so many volunteer tributes in the Career pack.) Their seal is a block of stone held up by a spade(?) and hammer forming a cross; the handles of each accentuated by lightning (much like Harry Potter's scar). Between the two lightning strikes is a random, creepy eye.

District Three provides the technology. Clocks, phones, computers, automobiles, and probably wi-fi. Their seal is a typical factory, with three gears side by side at the bottom, blocking a part of the factory. Thank (or kill) District Three for the reason why I can create this guide.

District Four is the fishing district. All things seafood and tridents and nets. Their seal is, surprise surprise, a three-pronged hook with three fishes symmetrically placed on either side of the hook's handle. (Something's going on with 3 in there.)

District Five provides the power. They have the big power lines (from what I can tell). Their seal is three small power lines at the top, made to look like the background. An atom symbol is at the center; two lightning strikes (much like D2's lightning and Harry Potter's scar) are on either side, and each has arrow tips pointing downwards.

District Six gives the transportation. The tribute train to the Capitol was most likely made by this district, and hovercrafts were probably by them, too. Their seal is a train zooming in on its railway tracks, rails behind it and hovercrafts in the sky. Surprise!

District Seven has the lumber. Big forests getting chopped down for wood and timber (which is bad for the environment, but I don't think the Capitol cares about that at all.) Their seal is a tree (surprise!) with two axes crossed over in front of it.

District Eight makes and uses the textiles. They make the clothes, and give the yarn and wool and other fabrics to the Capitol stylists to make the tribute clothes. Their seal is a no-brainer; a needle and thread, with the thread's end going through the needle's eye. (The way I say it sounds painful, but little needle's used to it.)

District Nine provides the grain. Rice, wheat, oats; whatever was in your cereal bowl, it probably came from these guys. Their seal is, from left to right, a leaf, a stalk of wheat, a bigger leaf, the biggest center stalk, another leaf, a smaller stalk, and the smallest leaf. Patterns, anyone?

District Ten has all the livestock. Meat, poultry, and edible things not allowed on airlines, comes from this district. Their seal is two knives crossed over behind a head of a bull. (Not ominous at all...)

District Eleven is the agriculture district. Orchards and fields of fruits and vegetables. Their seal is a corn with its leaves, with three small leaves coming out from each corn leaf.

District Twelve is the mining district. Coal is what they make best. Their seal is a miner's cap above (something that looks like railways and a stand) and two pick axes leaning forward very symmetrically, the tips of their handles touching.

(I would put all the seals of all Districts when I stop feeling lazy. It's really hard to place photos on Blogger. @_@)

Credits to Hunger Games wikia for every photo. I don't own any.

~Haaaai thaaar.
One fine day, I drew a logo on my hand and my friend was trying to guess what it was, and I just thought, "wouldn't it be nice to just research it and find all the logos?"
Therefore, this was created! Ta-daaaa!~

hello.

Yeah, no, I don't know. I don't even know why I'm making this post. o_o"

It's 2012. I decide to make this a happy year. (Next thing you know, my posts will alternate from happy to angst to happy to angst.) :D

Anticipations for 2012:
-a good, happy year
-Hunger Games movie
-good grades *w*
-Hunger Games movie
-more dystopian novels
-HUNGER GAMES MOVIE
-the end of my oneshot collection (hopefully finally)
-HUNGER GAMES MOVIE!

And I've been into bookmarks lately. Mix the Hunger Games into bookmarks, and what do I get?


This.
(Bad quality is bad.)

Tip of the (probably, most likely) fortnight: Eat sammiches. They're good for you.

I... I think I'm high. o-o I better leave now.

Happy new year. :)

Refresh, in 3, 2, 1...

Yes, I'm re-starting this blog yet again. Because, you know, I'm unsatisfied.
I'm never satisfied.

It's the end of August Angst. I feel angsty, even though I just participated for a week. I wonder what September will be. September Suspense? I really can't write suspense, though; but I'd love to see what others can come up with.

There are those days when you can't think of anything to do, and when you come up with something to do, you don't feel like doing it. Today is one of those days for me. Tomorrow is home study, yay I can finally catch up with stuff to do. :]

Tip of the day (week? month?): never make your family tree on Facebook get too big. When you try writing it up on actual paper, with the family members of your family members, it'll look like a circuit board.

Detective Conan, Spiral, Kodocha OP/ED. Shugo Chara: Utau's songs :3
