Personal Quote: I'm hearing a lot more calls for different types of heroes, not just the gay best friend but the gay hero, not just the black best friend but the black hero. People are clamoring for it a little more, and I think that's a positive sign. It means that things will start to spread.
Her mother, Barbara Rydz , is of Polish heritage. Star Sign: Leo. Getting Started Contributor Zone ». We have a whole generation of young people who have grown up a lot faster than I ever had to because of the internet.
We should be aware of that. You were in fact very smart and wise as a teenager in certain ways, but you were also capable of being deeply, deeply silly. Those two things can coexist and they do. One of my most significant book signing experiences was meeting a girl who came up and talked to me about One Direction.
I felt so bad. But then she passed me this note and when I read it later, it was full of all these deep insights about Divergent and what it had meant to her and what it had made her think about. And I was like, this is what teenagers are. They are both wildly intense about boy bands and capable of complex thought. These things are not at odds with each other. I think we sometimes forget that. Do you feel this story fits into the conversation surrounding climate change and the current political state in the U.
What were you hoping to convey about American society with these parallels? It just seems like that would be the response that some people would have to a chosen one [who is a person of color] being elevated to that level of fame.
Naturally, it would bring the racism out. After publishing your novel Carve the Mark , you received some criticism on th e topic of racial representation that you addressed in a blog post. Did this criticism influence the writing of Chosen Ones in any way? Divergent is my favourite book of all time and I've read it more than six times!! Aug 19, PM. Thanks for accepting my friend request, the books that I've read of yours so far were awesome!

Tris is amazing character and so is four. May 05, AM. Still waiting for Insurgent, but I can't wait to read it. Apr 30, PM. Apr 25, PM. Hi Veronica! I was at your book signing on Friday in Houston. It was hosted by the Blue Willow Book Shop. I was the one that bowed to you. Well I am also reading the advanced copy of Insurgent and it's so good! Well Bye! That moment when you are reduced to a squealing fit because the UPS guy just delivered your signed copy of Divergent!
I'm gonna dress up as Tris for Halloween next year. I would do it this year, but I've been planning this year's costume for 4 years, so, yeah Apr 25, AM.
Thank you for the add and what a fantastic body of work that you are building. Take care! Apr 11, PM. I can't wait for the release of Insurgent, and I'm looking to pre-order it now. When it's released will the green cover be available in the Uk?
I've got the blue edition of Divergent and I was hoping they'd all match, I'd buy the hard cover if it was green. Apr 10, AM. Can't wait to buy Insurgent! I hope you're coming to the Pacific Northwest soon. Apr 02, PM. Thank-you for the friendship!
Have a wonderful Day! Mar 26, AM. I'm on such a high after falling in love with THG I just had to pick up your series. So work hard, fall in love with the writing—the characters, the story, the words, the themes—and make sure that you are who you are regardless of your life circumstances. Do you think that teens or adults are more likely to fit into categories in our current society? Roth: Other aspects of my identity have more to do with the factions than my age.
The faction system reflects my beliefs about human nature—that we can make even something as well-intentioned as virtue into an idol, or an evil thing. And that virtue as an end unto itself is worthless to us. I think we all secretly love and hate categories—love to get a firm hold on our identities, but hate to be confined—and I never loved and hated them more than when I was a teenager.
That said: Though we hear a lot about high school cliques, I believe that adults categorize each other just as often, just in subtler ways. It is a dangerous tendency of ours. And it begins in adolescence. Roth: I tried to construct the factions so that they spanned a wide range of virtues.
