Why I picked Parity

Ok so you may be thinking, "the only reason she chose Parity was because it was her faction" with which I cannot entirely disagree. My choice may have had something to do with the fact that I created Parity and it would be crazy to say it hadn't. I believe in the ideas of the faction because they are what I think an ideal faction should believe in. Who knows what's your perfect fit in factions other than yourself?

Parity's central goal is to extend equality for all its members, and in this equality a freedom of expression is granted. When creating the faction I felt very strongly about this idea of equality and expression as I felt that throughout novel Divergent the factions forced its members to suppress who they are. I was sick of hearing of serums that forced people to spill their guts or face their fears and wanted my people free from this invasion of privacy. The people of Parity act as they choose, say what they feel, dress as they please, and behave as they wish. Their goals are their own and they are really able to connect with themselves as they aren't forced to adopt a way of life that they don't want.


Parity believes in peace and realizes that the only want to achieve that peace is through allowing people to be themselves and accepting others for who they are. I like this mentality, agree with it, and I could see myself living by it and being a member of the Parity faction.   

Deemed as Dauntless

I have to say, I'm kind of psyched that I'm Dauntless. I like what Dauntless stands for. They are free, can do what they choose and act as they wish. The faction empowers its members and allows them to make their own decisions, providing them with the tools they need to make those decisions. The faction's members embody what I want for myself: strength, independence, determination and the will to never give up. I want the drive that only Dauntless have, the power that the other factions don't understand. The Dauntless are exciting and exhilarating, there is never a dull moment in the compound and I feel as though that would be the faction for me. I also find the Dauntless's belief in equality appealing. They don't treat their teens any different than their adults, some are even leaders. They acknowledge that their women are just as strong as the men and seek to strengthen everyone.

This song reminds me of the Dauntless; of their freedom, strength, and how the other factions can't possible understand the courage and determination it takes to become someone who is dauntless.
