Divergent

Chapter#1 summary

       Beatrice was born into the Abnegation faction, and though her family—mom, dad, slightly older brother Caleb—totally rock the Abnegation lifestyle, Beatrice isn't so great at it.

As a 16-year old, Beatrice will take a test to show what faction she belongs in and then be able to choose her faction. Forever. Without be able to go back.

        Beatrice and Caleb take the bus to school, while brave and crazy Dauntless kids take the trains that never stop.

Before the faction aptitude tests, we get to see some kids ignore Beatrice—she doesn't have any friends—or bully her because she belongs to Abnegation.

        Abnegation like Beatrice are often given a hard time by those from other factions; she is shoved by an Erudite boy in the hallway who calls her a "Stiff," the nickname the other factions hold for Abnegation members. Before going to class, Beatrice waits at a window and watches the daredevil Dauntless kids jump off a moving train as they arrive, something they do every morning.

 The first chapter don't show too much, but I like it. The author want to explain first how the factions are before begin the really story. She use chronological organization.
