"I love you. No matter what."
-Mrs. Prior
Wow. That was an inTENSE chapter! She chose Dauntless. This girl that had grown up her whole life in Abnegation, chose to be brave. But I mean did anyone else see it coming after Mrs. Prior said that? Or was it just me?
This chapter started off with Caleb and Beatrice on the bus to the Choosing Ceremony. Beatrice explains how Caleb looks so calm, and how she would be too, if she knew what she was going to choose. But I'm not so sure about Caleb, he seems different to me. I could be wrong though. And then there is Beatrice's parents. Her father seems so absolutely positive that they are going to choose Abnegation. But her mother seems to be genuinely supportive of whatever they choose.
At the Choosing Ceremony Marcus Eaton, from Abnegation, speaks to the crowd to explain the history of the factions. Beatrice explains how the people choose the faction they want. They each go up to the stand one by one, and Marcus hands them a knife and they slice their skin just enough to get a little blood out of, and then they sprinkle their blood into the bowl of the faction. The bowls go like this, in Abnegation's bowl there are gray stones, in Erudite water, in Candor glass, in Amity earth, and in Dauntless burning coals.
So they get through a lot of the people and all of a sudden, Caleb's name is called. He goes up, everyone so positive that he is going to stick with his faction, and he cuts himself, and sprinkles his blood over....... ERUDITE. The absolute enemies of Abnegation! WOW. So everyone freaks out, blah blah blah, and then, it is Beatrice's turn. So she walks up there in a complete daze, and goes through the process that everyone else went through. And then, right at she loses her breath and is about to choose Abnegation, something surges through her and she chooses DAUNTLESS.
And it just ends with the best quote ever from Beatrice... "I am selfish. I am brave."
