Day 1337: Divergent by Veronica Roth

“Every book you pick up has its own lesson or lessons, and quite often the bad books have more to teach than the good ones.” – Stephen King

 

It’s 12  : 30 PM on day 1337 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray,  read Psalm 24,   publish my Disability of the Day feature,   promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign –no luck –  feed myself bran flakes for breakfast and promote my campaign some more – still no luck. 

 

On Saturday afternoon I finally finished reading Divergent by Veronica Roth the book is set in an alternate world where people are grouped according to what kind of people they are and the book begins with Beatrice taking a test and finding out that she’s divergent meaning she didn’t really fit into any faction eventually Beatrice decides she wants to be a member of Dauntless, a faction that values bravery above all else, but as time goes on Beatrice realizes that she doesn’t have to be defined by the labels other people put on her that she can in fact define herself which is something I think all of us come to realize as we go through life.
