How are you similar/different to one of the main characters?

          We are all faced with many choices in our lives that will play a role in our future. The main character in my book "Divergent" and me are alike in the way that we are starting to have to make some very important decisions that will determine our futures. Beatrice is the main character in Divergent and she goes through these tests and then has to pick what fraction she would like. Her decision must be made with a lot of thought because that's how she will be living for the rest of her life. It is very much the same as how I have to take exams and decide what i would like to do after high school. The difference is I can always change my mind and do something else, but once she chooses their is no going back. Beatrice is what they call a "Divergent" meaning she fits into more than one fraction, rather similar to myself because I love sciences and maths, but I also really enjoy creative writing and having those creative juices flowing. Beatrice is not allowed to share her test results with others, where as with exam marks we always share them and are rewarded after doing well. Even though I can have input from others unlike her, the overall decision must come from our self's. It is scary to think about the choices that we must make, the character in my book would not admit that she was nervous, nor would I. It is just something we all have to do, and it becomes part of who we are.
