Tris, Point of View

While you read the book Divergent is written by Veronica Roth you will see that the story is told in the perspective of Tris Prior. Tris lives a simple life style until she made the risky decision of staying in the peaceful faction of Abnegation to the brave and powerful Dauntless faction. Being in this position is very hard for Tris. She has to adapt to a brand new lifestyle and becomes a different person.

In Tris's view of everything is that everything should be split up evenly and everyone should have there own part. Yet this book is written in Tris's perspective I think that this story could have many other narrators too. The other character that I think could tell the story be Caleb. Caleb is Tris's brother. They are both the same age so Caleb had to choose a faction to go to. Caleb sadly chose the enemy faction of the Abnegation called the Euridute. If Caleb told the story it would just be him talking about how his faction is planning some threat to his old faction and how he could stop the problem. 


The last person that could tell the story would be Jeaneen Mathews. She is the leader of the Euridute. If she told the story everyone that would of read it would think she was Hitler of World War two. The story from her perspective would be her just telling everyone on her plans to destroy Abnegation. The book would would be a terrible story if she told it from her perspective.


In the end I think that there could only be two narrators that would make the book interesting. Those two people would have to be Caleb and Tris. I still believe that Tris is the best fit for the narrator in this book because the author planned it out so well for her to be telling the story.
