Literary Essay

Have you ever realized your normal was dangerous?  In the book Insurgent by Veronica Roth, Tris realizes that the Erudite are hiding information.

Jeanine, the Erudite leader wants to find out how to put the Divergent under a simulation so they won't find out the information, that she uses a simulation that's injected into other Dauntless that aren't Divergent to scare the Divergent into going to her so she can experiment on them.  That morning the simultion makes 2 Dauntlesses, Marlene and Hector jump off the Daunless HQ.  Before they jump, they adress this message to the Divergent.

("This is not a negotiation.  It's a warning," says the simulation through Marlene, moving her lips and vibrating her throat. "Every two days until one of you delivers yourself to Erudite headquarters, this will happen again."

Marlene steps back...)

The Erudite want to get the Divergent under control because they have information the the Abnegation wanted to reveal until the Erudite attacked because the Erudite didn't want to reveal, so bad they station the Dauntless and Candor that are under their simulation infront of their HQ to guard it from the Dauntless that aren't under a simulation and the Divergent.  (Standing in four rows infront of us are a group of people, mostly dressed in black an white, spaced two feet apart, guns held up and ready.  I blink and the become simulation-controlled Dauntless in the Abnegation sector during the simulation attack.)

The Erudite want to keep the information secret so they're trying to make a simulation to control the people who know, so the information will never get out.  Jeanine is pleased that Tris came to be experimented on after the simulation took Marlene's life, because Tris is one of the most strong Divergent  ("I am very pleased that you, in particular, are here," says Jeanine.  She walks past me and perches on the table, her fingers curled around the edges."I am pleased, of course, because of your aptitude test result." Her blond hair, pulled tight to her skull, reflects the light, catches my attention.  "Even among Divergent, you are somewhat of an oddity, because you have an apptitude for three factions.  Abnegation, Dauntless and Erudite." "How..." my voice croak.  I push the question out. "How did you know that?" "All in a good time," she says.  "From your result I have ditermined that you are one of the strongest Divergent, which I say not to compliment you but explain my purpose.  If I am to develop a simulation that cannot be thwarted by the Divergent mind, I. must study the strongest Divergent mind in order to  shore up all weaknesses in the technology.  Understand?")
