George Orwell's '1984' and Veronica Roth's novel 'Divergent' are very similar. Factions and Ministries, Social Classes - what they wear and how class is determined, Stage 2 Fear Tests and Room 101, Characters and how the Scholars and Party control are not included. just some of the ways the books are the same. In Divergent, people are divided into what are called factions based on what they do for the community, like growing crops or enforcing the law. In 1984, the people were first divided into social classes and then into what looked like factions. They are divided according to the ministry in which they work, such as the ministry of love or peace. The job is permanent once they choose it or it is chosen for them. As for social classes, in Divergent the class is considered essentially the same as they all get the same supplies so there isn't much difference, but depending on which faction they belong to, they wear different colored clothes. Colors are also prevalent in 1984, depending on the department one works in which determines the color of the suit the person wears. In 1984, there is the Party, internal and external, and the proletarians. The inner party is made up of people who are rich and have power. It's a big deal in Divergent that faction comes before blood, because depending on which faction a child chooses, they might have to leave their family and never see them again, and they have to stay with that faction. forever. Tris uses this slogan: Faction before blood several times in the novel. In 1984, the party launched slogans such as War is peace, freedom is slavery and ignorance is strength. These slogans are those that the Party uses to run the city. Additionally, O'Brien tells Winston that this is why the party does everything they do to "keep the peace" and in Divergent, the woman who attempts to overthrow the Abnegation faction to lead herself the government says: "all we want is to keep power ».
