okay so like the point of Hunger Games is: "what power can a woman have if her image is being used by such large power structures?" (the answer: none. we're all screwed.) ((sorry not sorry I see HG as a very pessimistic text))

Divergent's point is: "what are we willing to do to make and keep categories of humans in our lives in order to keep power in limited hands by use of the status quo?" (the answer: a whole lot. way more than you think.)


I think the questions these two texts raise are extremely interesting.

an overall I was more satisfied/hopeful at the end of Divergent than HG
