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.
Can we honestly say that those who have physical strength are able to rank well? Beatrice may not have been the first person who one would kick to be on a baseball team but it seemed like she was able to use her cunning and skills she attained to her advantage. Al might have had a great deal of strength from the standpoint of a brute but his emotions were not kept together well. Peter's ruthless nature ultimately went to his head, even though most people would desire his ability to fight with tenacity.
It's clear that there is a high level of strength associated with obstacle event racing but this can be seen in many ways. Physically moving through hazards can be done if you commit yourself to enough training in the gym, for example. Does this necessarily mean that the bravery to tackle any obstacle is going to accompany this? I believe that an element such as nerve is something that you're either born with or a certain type of element that you build up as you become older.
