Is it possible that we have been situated with one group for so long that it has taken us longer to realize we belong to another? Enter "Divergent," a science fiction story written by Veronica Roth and one of the best recent examples of its genre. The story, in my opinion, was gripping and I thought that it was told very well with a unique cast of characters. There was a great deal of physical activity to be had, though I could have envisioned obstacle event racing being a feature.
It's apparent that obstacle event racing is going to take a great deal of work. In fact, the level of competition shown in events the likes of Spartan Race can tell you that if you're not willing to put forth the effort, you're not going to be able to succeed. The book displays this sense of vigor as well, seeing as how the members of each faction have to work hard in order to secure being rankings. They can be attained through how strong or weak members are, as displayed in the book.
Beatrice Prior is the main protagonist of "Divergent" and hers is the perspective which you hear the story from. She originally came from the faction known as Abnegation and she remained there until she was sixteen years old. At that time, she decided to go with the Dauntless faction, which placed a greater emphasis on bravery. There, she has to learn to become brave, regardless of the fact that she gives up size compared to the other members which belong to the faction as well.
Just because Beatrice doesn't possess doesn't great strength doesn't mean she isn't capable, since she actually ranks very highly. For those who do have strength, though, it seems like there are character flaws which get in the way. Al is one of the Dauntless members and even though he is a bigger member of the group, he is not quite strong emotionally. Peter is another example of someone who doesn't possess all of the ideal facets of a Dauntless member, even though he is able to attain fighting prowess and ruthlessness alike.
Obstacle event racing is going to take strength - this cannot be questioned - but in what ways does strength come about the most? I think Beatrice has shown that you have to be brave as well or else the actual brute power you possess is not going to be put to great use. It won't come in handy if you're too scared of pushing yourself to levels you might not have otherwise. If you can work up the nerve to get through it, success will be within your grasp.
