Outside the walls - (spoilers)

Discuss the June 2014 book of the month Divergent by Veronica Roth. While only Divergent--the first book of the series--is the book of the month, feel free to use this subforum to discuss the rest of the series or to talk about the movies, but make sure not to post spoilers unless noted in the topic title.

I feel those beyond the walls are worst than the ones within. It's like they were used for tests.

It's extremely wrong and twisted, but it makes you wonder if people can be conditioned to think that even the worst things are acceptable.

I think the common people might have some sympathy for people within the walls but the people in power only viewed them as science rats. They were heartless and didn't care what happens inside the walls unless it was harming their own mean.

I think they were in the wrong to just watch while this uprising happened and all of these people died unnecessarily. I feel like they could have come in, explained everything, and a lot of deaths could have been avoided.

Everyone here is mentioning Hunger Games, but this reminds me more of James Dashner's Maze Runner. The outsiders simply watch on from the sidelines, as the researchers did in Maze Runner with the test subjects that had been planted in the Maze.
