There is a lot going around that Divergent is a rip off of The Hunger Games. I don't agree. I like them both equally but I don't see them being the same. there are notable differences between the two.
Let's start with the obvious:
The kids in Divergent aren't fighting in a game of life of death on television.
Yes, they both take place in dystopian worlds but their dystopian worlds are different than eachother. in Katniss's it's poverty, with Tris, she has it a little better than Katniss.
But really, I don't like them being compared to eachother. it was the same with Harry potter and Twilight and look how that turned out.

Anyone else sincerely interested in creating a small-scale Candor community? of even multi-faction communities.
I know it didn't work for them, and I'm not a crazy super fan of anything, but after watching & reading the Divergent series I couldn't help but start seriously imagining how to create a real-world version. All the things I'd do differently and the things I'd keep the same.
If u think about it, it's just like creating an Intentional Community and there's plenty of those succeeding around the world. I think if the right people with the right vision got together, we could make it happen!
Who's with me?!
