The journey of self-discovery involves breaking away from ingrained habits and embracing new ways of thinking. The protagonist grapples with conflicting emotions and societal expectations, struggling to find her place.
I feel like someone breathed new air into my lungs. I am not Abnegation. I am not Dauntless. I am Divergent.
I throw my arms out to the side and imagine that I am flying... My heart beats so hard it hurts, and I can’t scream and I can’t breathe, but I also feel everything, every vein, and every fiber, every bone and every nerve, all awake and buzzing in my body as if charged with electricity. I am pure adrenaline.

FEELINGS
CAUSE
t will be difficult to break the habits of thinking Abnegation instilled in me, like tugging a single thread from a complex work of embroidery. But I will find new habits, new thoughts, new rules. I will become something else.
There is power in controlling something that can do so much damage--in controlling something, period. Maybe I do belong here.
“We believe that preparation eradicates cowardice, which we define as the failure to act in the midst of fear.”
FINALLY SHE DISCOVERS HER TRUE IDENTITY.
AFTER
“First jumper--Tris!”
“Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.”
SHE LEARNS TO ADAPT AND ACCEPTS HERSELF.
BEFORE
I am selfish. I am brave.
A new place, a new name. I can be remade here. “Tris,” I say firmly.
It’s my choice now, no matter what the test says. Abnegation. Dauntless. Erudite. Divergent.
SHE FEELS INSECURE, YET SHE KNOWS THE DECISION IS ONLY HERS.
