The first connection I want to make is text-to-self. I can really connect with Four because Four's fear or biggest challenge is heights. When this was revealed to us, I could connect with the way Four was feeling because I have a fear of heights. Even though he was afraid of heights he still kept climbing up with the help of Tris. I could also relate because I have a fear of heights, but with the help of friends and family I will climb heights and face my fears. All I need is a little push and I will conquer my fears.
The next connection is text-to-text. The book I feel is very similar to Divergent is Hunger Games. This is I think is because of the fact that both of these books are Sci-Fi novels set in a dystopian society. Not only are the settings similar but the characters Tris and Katniss are very similar because they both don't stop until they achieve their goal which I love about them.

The last connection is text-to-world. There are so many different people in this world. There are people that speak different languages, different religions, different culture and many people are trying to find where they belong. Take our school for example on the first day of school we are trying to figure out where to sit at lunch and who to hang out with. This is regular people making choices in which group they should be part of and who to associate with. This is similar to when Tris has to make a choice which faction she wants to be part of and who she wants to associate with.
Can you think of anymore text-to-world connections?
All of your connections were really strong. I think the use of quotes could make your blog post better as well. The only other text-to-world connection that I can think of is between parents and kids. Tris has parents that love her and want the best for her. Four has parents that just want to use him and don't really care about him. His father even abused him sometimes. Unfortunately, both types of parenting can be seen in our world today.
