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).

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