Well.
I must say I'm not too sure what to say about this. I am as big a book critique as the next person but I am also a book worm. This means that I have a wide variety of books that I enjoy in various different genres.
I do think this tells the story of the films more than the books.
I don't think you have quite grasped what happened in Divergent. Don't take me the wrong way but I took so much more away than this. You don't seem to have noticed the depth in Four and Tris's characters. And the fact that there is so much more to this story than what you have written.
There are more than just drugs, and she didn't take them to 'face her fears'. These drugs were forced upon her. I do understand why you don't see much to Tris's personality at first read but if you look in depth there is so much more to her than meets the naked eye. And four does not have a a sponge for a head. He has brains, and he uses them wisely. He has been offered the job of leading the Dauntless many times but has declined because he thinks that he will make more of a difference training people.

Now what I did like about this was your use of language and the fact it rhymed. It is very difficult to find a poem that rhymes these days and I do enjoy reading the ones that do.

Quick disclaimer: This is my opinion, which is different to yours. Don't take any of this personally. Your writing is phenomenal but I just didn't like what you were saying in this.

This was hilarious. I don't know if I can really review this per se, but I totally loved it. I feel the same way about Divergent. Hearing those feelings expressed in rhyme made me giggle.

I'll admit I've only seen the movie. I'm sure the book is different (better?), because that's always the case. However, I totally agree with the characters being bland and defined only by their roles, and the underlying premise being really flimsy. While I enjoy categorization, Divergent seems overly simplistic, and the whole idea of divergent people isn't well developed or explored.

Something that really irritates me is that Tris is supposedly this strong female lead, but she's actually super not. She depends a lot on the men around her, and is often a weak, emotional mess, with little agency of her own. Just because she's the protagonist, and can punch people like a badass, doesn't mean her personality is strong or she's a powerful figure for women to look up to.

Anyway, I don't have much to "review" other than to say I loved it--it was nice hearing someone else vent some steam on the subject, and gave me the chance to do so as well This YA dystopian trend is an interesting one, as they all seem to be trying to emulate the Giver, which did so many of the same things so much better. Ah well, Divergent and the like are fun for some guilty pleasure, at least. I didn't think Divergent was nearly as stupid as The Maze Runner! (No offense if you liked it. We like what we like.)

Cheers

Heya, Gravity here!

So I feel really strange reviewing this because it's a rant. If you want constructive criticism, I shall provide it in a spoiler. you may choose to read it, or not. Your choice.

good job venting

I will start off with a few facts about me:
1. I am not native. Consequently, reading this was generally challenging. Yes, a few words I haven't known. Some of the words I had to evoke with the help of deduction. Of course it is for me to bear, but I would just note that in no way will it undermine my general impression about what you created.
2. I neither watched nor read "Divergent". I have watched and read "The Hunger Games". If I had read or watched "Divergent", I might have also disagree. But again, it is not a factor.
3. I had read Literature that presents perspectives and provides criticism about commonly-possessed ideas and beliefs, conventions, human natures, different processes and more humanity-driven concepts. I have not, however, come by a well-educated critique expressed through a poem. I consider it to be highly creative and inevitably sharp, as I believe that in order to construct such a paper, one has to be witty.

I didn't entirely understand every bit, but the message is loud an clear, and is delivered very well, to my humble opinion. Here, literary devices, to which writers should be credited, are not skipped. What is special about the comparison presented, seemingly a mere, non-elastic Literary Device which is pretty distinguishable, is the complex, unique way in which it is made. You don't seem to go back and forth between Katniss and Tris. Instead you ask that the reader use one subject of the comparison in order to derive information about the other subject, which, simultaneously, also compares the two, which I really appreciated. Needless to say I laughed reading this, and making someone laugh is an invaluable ability in many frameworks. In court, making the jury, the judge, or both, laugh, might have an enormous, long-acting impact on the process of the trial, in some favor of the one who does that.
I will finish by saying that the style of wording you have is my favorite. Really adored the language as well as the grammatical methods you use. Keep it up.
