Chapter Twenty - The One With The Danger Of Divergence

There is another wave of simulations for the initiates in this chapter. Tris' second simulation is where she is trapped in a glass box that starts to fill with water. After freaking out a little bit, she remembers that it is all a simulation and breaks the glass in order to escape. When the simulation ends, Four warns Tris. From watching the footage from her simulations, Four knows that she is divergent because regular initiates are not aware that they are in a simulation. Four deletes the footage, but warns Tris to try to hide it better in the future.

"You manipulated the simulation; you're Divergent. I'll delete the footage, but unless you want to wind up dead at the bottom of the chasm, you'll figure out how to hide it during the simulations!"

If we've learned anything yet, it is
"Don't be divergent"

Tris is still unsure of why being divergent is dangerous, so she decides to visit Tori. While the two talk, Tori tells Tris about a former initiate named Georgie. Georgie's aptitude test had an inconclusive result (like Tris). He was very good at the simulations (like Tris). On the last day of Stage 2, a Dauntless leader came in to supervise his simulation. The next day, Georgie was found dead in the chasm. It was reported as a suicide. Georgie was divergent, just like Tris.

So now we know why being divergent is so dangerous. But why do the divergents have to be killed? Do they pose as a threat to something? I don't know.

Stay tuned.
