Today on her blog, author of Divergent, Veronica Roth, announced that the title of the sequel to the novel will be called Insurgent. She followed this announcement with a dictionary definition of the word, and the following is the definition.
INSURGENT. Origin:
1755–65; < Latin insurgent- (stem of insurgēns ) present participle of insurgere: to get up, ascend, rebel.
1. a person who rises in forcible opposition to lawful authority, especially a person who engages in armed resistance to a government or to the execution of its laws; rebel.
2. a member of a section of a political party that revolts against the methods or policies of the party.
3. one that acts contrary to the established leadership (as of a political party, union, or corporation) or its decisions and policies
4. (international law) a person or group that rises in revolt against an established government or authority but whose conduct does not amount to belligerency
Some of the definitions, Roth said, don't exactly apply to the book, but some do. Which ones do you think?
