Select one of the following to do for your first Divergent project. Base your work ONLY on chapters 1-10. If you've read further, do not include any of that information in this project.
1) Draw a different cover for the book. This book is intended for teens/young adults, but draw a cover that will appeal to older adults.
2) Create a character analysis chart on at least six characters. For each character you should include information about physical appearance, personality, motivation and other pertinent information.
3) Choose your least favorite scene in the book so far and rewrite it! The section you choose should be no less than two pages and no more than four pages and your rewrite should be under 500 words. Then answer: Why did you select this scene to re-write? How does your style differ from the author's? In what way(s) do you think you improved on the original?
