                         Most books now a days play with the idea of power, both large and small and the idea of overcoming the power or fighting it off. In the book Insurgent, the second book in the Divergent series by Veronica Roth uses this as one of the main conflicts in the book. It not only includes one big fight between the powers of each fraction. It also includes smaller conflicts over power between person to person. 

                        The story portrays the idea of having an extremely powerful group/fraction trying to take over everything and control everyone in every fraction. This group is known as the Erudite in the book. They implant divices into the physically strongest fraction to create stimulation, using them to take over. But the fight doesn't end there. 

Not going down without a fight the dauntless, fractionless, and divergents refuse to be controlled and riot breaks out. Unable to fight the dauntless and fractionless without an army and not being able to contoll the divergent's with stimulations the Eurdite are left with a huge weakness. A weakness so large that the dauntless, fractionless, and divergent may finally be able to fight back, but only if they team up.
