Chapter 7

"You chose us, now we choose you."

 -Eric

This chapter was like a rollercoaster for me. I thought it was going to be just a "get to know the Dauntless" chapter, but it turned out to be so much more than that. In fact, it was actually pretty emotional. And I actually learned so much about Tris herself.

Speaking of learning about Tris, she has never had a HAMBURGER before! Like what?! I could never live without hamburgers. I absolutely have no idea how she has gone sixteen years without them. Wow.

Anyway, getting back into the book, we met Eric in this chapter. I don't like him. Right off the bat, he gave me the heebie-jeebies. If you know what I mean. He is just, really, scary. He is one of the five leaders of Dauntless, and he is really young too. He is the one that told them that there are nine of them, and eleven Dauntless-borns, and in the end, only ten will become Dauntless members. Everyone is super shocked! This means that every move Tris makes is crucial, because being Abnegation-born, her chances are slim to none.

The end of the chapter is so emotional, especially because she starts thinking about home, and it gets really deep. Then she starts hearing Al, one of her transfer friends, start crying. She starts to despise him, because she starts thinking that if anyone is going to become a member, they shouldn't be crying for home.

And then, Tris started to tear up, and then I started to tear up, and then we were just having this big ol' tear fest. Ughh. I'm so excited for the next few chapters.
