Some new thoughts-the setting of the story

        I have been thinking about the setting in this novel. There are five factions in the story, and each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue. That is interesting part, because everyone can only choose one faction and must show a nature or dedicaiton to the faction. Actually I wonder, how can one only show one virtue in his behavior through his life, and how can the divergent  become the  most unacceptible one. But it is also in this situation the plot develops. What Tris once thought left me a deep impression: "Maybe there is some Abnegation in everyone, even if they don't know it." Maybe the author is reminding us: everyone has virtues, but we do not realize it.  I don't think the five faction will fight each other--they need each other. To live, and to live safely, happy, successfully...man need to be selfless, brave, intelligent, peaceful and honest.
