A change in Media II

Often times people have completely different feelings about the movie rather then the book. Is that true for you? Once again I recommend reading the book and then watching the movie, because the movie often ruins the book for me. After reading the book and then watching the movie I noticed many changes such as, No one fails out of Dauntless on the first day. While it's still clear that Dauntless is a tough faction, there are no recruits who become factionless. Additionally, there is no recruit who misses the building and falls to there death. Although in the book many do. Peter is less vicious in the movie and adds a tinge of humor. In the book, he is a monster, who cheated and used violence to get his high ranking in Dauntless. At one point, he even stabs another trainee in the eye to keep his place in the rankings. In the movie he has humor and an attitude. Also there is less fighting in the pits. While the Divergent movie does a good job of explaining how new faction members will live and die by their rankings, we don’t get to see what most of Tris’ friends, and companions are capable of in the ring. In the book, we know that Al felt protective of Tris and even had a desire to date her. In the movie, we know Al and Tris hang around with one another. The two aren't as close in the movie, which makes his betrayal not as big of a deal. Plus Peter never feels Tris up, or made comments about her body and toying with the possibility of a rape along with the murder. It makes it easier to see Peter and Al as human beings

instead of monsters. As you can see, there were many changes from the novel to the movie, drastic changes actually. Changes that make you think a completely different way.
