          The first setting in the book was the Amity compound.

The way the  Amity act is like a Democracy but to the next level.  Every little thing is voted for, every person has a role even if is not the most important role they still feel like they are very important.

          The next setting they went to was the factionless compound. It was not sanitary and was not the private at all. Their was garbage everywhere, their was also hundreds of mice and rats running around feeding of the garbage. But the factionless where trying to make the place look nicer by panting and the walls. Everyone sleept on the floor everyone used the same bathroom they did not really have space to move around comfortably . The factionless compound was still the largest faction out of all of them.

          The third Setting was  the Condor compound. The Candor compound had black marble floors that had there symbol in the middle. The compound looked like a dormitory it had small rooms lined up down long hallways. And the biggest room in the compound was the auditorium that is where Tris and Tobias where questions under the truth serum. As you got higher in the building the rooms become somewhat like jail sels this is where the people that would create trouble stay.

That night when Tris was walking in the orchard she over hears Marcus and Jeanine the Amity leader talking about something that sound important so Tris follows then and hears something about the flash drive she took from the simulations. The next day Tris catches Peter trying to take the flash drive and they start to fight. They are then given a warning from Jeanine about there agreement. Tris decided to not go to dinner that night and climbed up a apple tree and sat there instead. But after an hour she hears cars witch only means Erudite so she runs to all the Abnegation people and warn's them about the Erudite people

They all then run quickly to there rooms and put on Amity clothes so they could blend in and try to escape.

Prompt: What happened

After Tris chooses Dauntless she then leaves her family and moves to the dauntless camp. She trained for weeks going through three stages of training to see what their ranking would be. She had to go through combat, fear simulations, and a fear room simulation. Tris ended up coming in first in all of her trials. Because she was divergent she was able to manipulate the simulations so that she was able to get a major advantage over the rest of the kids.

The night after the induction ceremony Tris was awakened by the rest of her initiates marching in what seemed like a sleep. She followed them and ended up finding Four. Four was her counselor that helped all the initiates with there combat skills. Four was the only other person that was not acting like a sleep walker. He told Tris that the cerium they took was actually a controlling devise runed by the Erodite faction. The Erodite leader wanted to destroy the Abnegation faction so that they can take over everything. The cerium did't affect Tris or Four because they where both Divergent.

Tris and four both slipped away on the train so that they could stop the Erodite's. But their where just to many and they ended up getting captured by the Erodite's. Four was then given a cerium that made him think enemy's were good and friend's where enemy's. Tris was about to be drowned in a pool of water when her mother came and saved her. They where headed back to where the rest of the Abnegation people were including her father. They where almost their until a soldier shot and killed her mother but Tris got away.She then found her dad and her brother hiding. They both agreed to help her destroy the controlling room. They where able to shut it down but not before her father was killed to trying to escape.
