My playlist for Divergent by Korryn Hastings

by Korryn Hastings

The first song in my playlist for Divergent is “My Immortal” by Evanescence. This song matches the scene in Divergent when Beatrice is choosing a different fraction. The lyrics say “I’m so tired of being here. It really emphasizes the situation about her leaving Abnegation to somewhere else.



The second song I chose for my Divergent playlist is “Radioactive” by Imagine Dragons. The song matches the scene where she is the first one to take the jump off the building. The beat of the music in the beginning is really suspenseful like the scene in the book, just when the beat drops she jumps. I feel that the suspense in the song just makes the scene.



My third song for this playlist is called “Ms. Jackson” by Panic at the Disco. This song matches the scene when Beatrice does her first fight with Peter. The song has a quick beat and it’s very simple, like the fight. Since it’s just a couple punches and she gets knocked cold.



The fourth song I chose for this playlist is called “Come Together” by The Beatles. This song goes with the scene when the teams are playing capture the flag. The rhythm sounds a bit sneaky and sly. The song paints a picture in your mind as the creep up to the flag.



The fifth song for my playlist in Divergent is called “They Don’t Care About Us” by Michael Jackson. The scene when Beatrice shows up as the new girl in Dawntless and the Dawntless members don’t welcome her in any way and they treat her like she doesn’t belong. The lyrics say “All I want to say is that they don’t really care about us” just highlights that point.



My sixth song of my choice for the Divergent playlist is “Breathe Me” by Sia.. Beatrice is laying in bed, almost in tears. Confused as to what is going on. “Breathe Me” is a low key sad song. It plays out the depressing moment.

 

The seventh song I chose for this playlist is called “Just Keep Breathing” by We Came as Romans. This song goes with the scene where Beatrice is climbing a ladder on a Ferris wheel and she’s losing her breath while going crazy because she’s climbing it with a guy she may have feelings for. The lyrics explain how you need to keep calm and just keep breathing,



My last song for my Divergent playlist is called “Supermassive Black Hole” by Muse. This song has a rhythm that emphasizes running scenes and the beat goes with action moments. Which is good for the part where Beatrice is running up to the moving train and tried to jump on.
