We can’t all be divergent.

Our take on the Divergent movie poster.

Due to our recent smash-hit, “We Just Sorted the Entire Senior Class Into Their Harry Potter Houses”, we wrote this article as part 2 of a revolutionary series that continues to redefine journalism as we know it.

In case you never went through your 8th grade YA literature phase, the factions are societal divisions which people are placed into depending on aptitude tests and their personal values.  They are described as follows:

Candor: the honest

Dauntless: the brave

Abnegation: the selfless

Amity: the kind

Erudite: the intelligent

Divergent: contains the values of multiple different factions and individuals within it don’t have a dominant trait that defines them.  They cannot be delegated to one specific faction.

Factionless: this faction, or lack thereof, is specifically delegated to Shabih Jafri.  This is solely due to the fact that the temper tantrum he throws when he reads this will be magnificent.

I am NOT factionless okay?!

— Shabih Jafri
