What is your entire life was nothing but an experiment? The people who put you there are constantly watching you and testing your genes. Would you question your past? Tris is faced with these questions when she decides to leave the city with a group known as the Allegiant. They encounter a group of people who are from a place called the Bureau of Genetic Welfare. They had been watching them for years. Tris and Tobias get answers to their copious questions. The Bureau is one of the many places that have impacted the characters in this story. Some other places could be the city, which they now know to be Chicago, and the lab inside the Bureau. If Chicago never existed, there wouldn’t be a place for people such as Tris, Tobias, and everyone who lives there to be. There wouldn’t …show more content…
This place impacts Tobias more than it does Tris. A scientist was curious to know something. He asked Tris and Tobias if they wanted to participate in an experiment. He told them that he wanted to see their genes. Tobias soon finds out that he is actually not Divergent. He has traits that have a great comparison to Divergents but lack the purity that the Divergents have. This really strikes home for Tobias because for as long as he could remember, he was a Divergent who couldn’t be held by the power of serums. Tris thinks to herself about her Divergence and feels lesser of a person now because she thought of her Divergence to be a power, but it turns out to just be a pure gene. Because of the lab, they Tobias would never now that he is not Divergent and the scientist wouldn’t be able to test for pure genes and create the serums for the cities. There are places in Tris’s and Tobias’s life that greatly impact them. Place like Chicago, the Bureau, and the lab inside the Bureau are such places. Without these places, the story would be completely different. What would the story be without these
I’ve lived in Chicago almost all my life. There’s a lot of neighborhoods in Chicago; Good and bad. Living on the south side of Chicago most of my life would make you think there’s nothing but violence in the city. Even though Its bad, I enjoy the neighborhood I live in now. The neighborhood I live in is Roseland, but I grew up in Englewood. Both neighborhoods are similar, but they have their differences.
In FOUR, the conflict is exhibited within the main character. Tobias chooses the Dauntless faction, opposite from the Agnegation faction; himself, being in pain from abuse and death there. Now as an initiate
The war was terrible, the whole world was destroyed. The last city left divided themselves into five factions to keep the peace. The smart ones are classified Erudite. Amity are always kind, Candor value honesty, Dauntless are brave, and Abnegation are selfless. The system works because everyone knows where they belong; everyone except for Tris. In the novel Divergent, by Veronica Roth, Tris demonstrates perseverance; this is shown through how she is able to step out of her comfort zone, always remains undeterred, and can overcome obstacles.
Most of the foster families that Olivia and Sabreen encounter have no genuine care, and offered mostly a stressful living situation. Abundant studies have shown stressful living environments to have a negative effect on children’s development (McLoyd, Hill &Dodge). Throughout the novel, the foster homes were located in the city’s poorest neighborhoods, and contained awful conditions. Thus, the combination of a
The Great Chicago Fire was one of the significant devastation that happened in the eighteenth century. Through this tragic event, hundreds of people died and thousands of buildings were completely destroyed in the fire. Before, the city was flourishing as more people traveled and decided to call Chicago their home. After the fire destroyed most of the surrounding area, people began blaming one another for the deaths of all the people. As time passed, Chicago slowly began to rebuild like never before. Although the city of Chicago continued to grow before the fire, after, the city boomed with the abundance of money and people. Moreover, because there was destruction, the people of Chicago, Illinois did not allow a fire to stop them from creating more opportunities for the future. The city has changed from the fire, but because of the help that was received, it was able to get rebuilt, and invite new individuals to explore the wondrous city of Chicago.
Two neighborhoods in Chicago Such as Hyde Park and the West side of Chicago are very different but have a variety of similarities as well. The differences and similarities lies in the areas, the houses, the schools, political views, the food and basically the towns their self. Neither of the two neighborhoods is the best to live in but sure is not the worse. In the west side of Chicago, you see plenty of people standing around on the corners, theirs a lot of liquor stores and fast food restaurants. The crime rate in the West side is higher than Hyde parks that including the car thefts and burglaries. Don´t get me wrong both neighborhoods crime rate is high but i think the better of the two would be Hyde Park. Hyde Park is located on the shore of Lake Michigan seven miles of the south loop in the south side of Chicago. Hyde Park is also where the University of Chicago, The Museum of Science and Industry is.They also have a nice Art Center. Its a very diverse community while the West side is predominantly African American (Black). Both Neighborhoods are democratic areas. The houses in the West side are more closer together and they barely have any driveways mostly just allies and gang ways. The houses nice sizes with affordable rent. You can find plenty of cheap homes and rental properties there with ok living areas. They also have restaurants and convenient stores in the areas so if you don´t have a car or transportation its okay because im pretty sure you find something
The people that live in Chicago are greedy people that steal from each other. They are all poor and are barely alive. They are all hungry because they don't have any money. Because they work for rich people that barely pay them so they can't afford food. They rob and steal from each other and they think it's ok because they need the money to live but it's still bad because the people that they are stealing from are dieng.
some Chicago neighborhoods, three or four families might live in homes originally built for just
As Chauncey Depew says, “Chicago is like the man who marries a woman with a ready-made family of twelve; the trouble [has] just begun.” (Larson 34).
In the book Allegiant, by Veronica Roth, there is one big conflict that causes the other conflicts throughout the book.

To stop everyone from killing themselves, the Bureau decides to reset everyone's memories with the memory serum. Tobias joins an uprising against the Bureau.

Then, Tris forms her own group and plans to save the city from the memory serum. One problem is that in order to save the city, Caleb has to die because of the death serum. Tobias and the others were trying to settle the dispute between his mother, Evelyn, and his father, Marcus. Instead of Caleb dying, Tris
Chicago, the third-most populous city in the United States, has had a busy and diverse image since the start and the city has played a key location throughout American history. Throughout history, Chicago has always to attract people to the city by it’s charming, fascinating and exciting spirit and ___. Chicago has always been home to people from all over the world and different backgrounds. Race, has play a key factor in Chicago and last year CNN reported that Chicago remains among most segregated U.S cities. Chicago’s portrayal in the media has *** changed over time and in the case of race it has gotten worse, with the residential segregation and the increase of crime in the South.
Before Chicago was as glamourous as it is today, it was “swampy, overcrowded, and diseased” (Soucek 19). “Chicago was destined to become a world class city, and it needed world-class goods and services” (19). After the fire, architects started immediately on the reconstruction of this wonderful city. The railroads and transportation systems were left untouched, so many supplies and people were granted a way into Chicago.
A point often overlooked, is the drive from Florida to Utah, where the “car boiled over again,” just after Tobias and his mother crossed “the Continental Divide” (Wolff 3). In addition to this, while the two were waiting for the car to cool off, they heard from somewhere above them, “the bawling of an air horn” (3). The sound was coming from a big truck, and before Tobias and his mother knew it, the truck had run off the road and “fallen hundreds of feet through empty space” (4). Not to mention that, the man Rosemary and Tobias were fleeing from, caught up to them in Utah. Another key point is when he proposed to Rosemary, that’s when they hopped on a bus to Seattle where she met her second
Since Chicago is one of the largest segregated cities in the country, why don't people move to make it more diverse? A national survey that was taken said that blacks agreed that “black people have a right to live wherever they can afford to”. Over 70 percent of blacks support laws that enforce that right, but only 40 percent of whites said that they would support those laws. Blacks support integration, but because the two races disagree on whether or not blacks should be able to live where they want to, the city will stay segregated instead of solving the problem of making the city more diverse.Over 87 percent of blacks are fine with living in a neighborhood that was only 20 percent black. This proves that blacks are more open to making Chicago an area that is not segregated. If where you live also affects your education and limits your job opportunities, then it's understandable why blacks are ready to move. Blacks typically live in more run down areas that usually provides a bad school system and because they don't have a good education, they don't have access to good jobs. Access to housing is harder for black people because white people disagree with the values that they
Things can happen in some places and the tale of them will be interesting. The same story laid in another city would be ridiculous. Setting situates the story`s events, characters and mood through place, time and weather. Without the different dimensions of setting, a story would not have the diversity to introduce new or changed characters, define their true identities, compare societies and reveal hidden emotions. Through Morrison`s Sula, setting is used as the key factor behind every event that occurred.
