"I wish I could say I felt guilty for what I did. I don't."
I hated this chapter. HATED IT. Honestly I wanted to cry for Tris. Who thinks they just have the right to do what Peter Molly and Drew did to her? No one should. So Tris was getting out of the shower right? And all of a sudden, the three of them come up and corner her! That is probably one of my worst fears. Honestly, that would be the worst thing in the world. Then they rip off her towel when she tries to run. Awful. Awfullllllllll.
The whole chapter after that is how she gets so mad, and honestly, I don't blame her. Bullying like this has never been a really HUGE problem, that I have ever seen anyway. But if I EVER heard anything like this had happened, I would be completely appalled and I would not stand for that type of behavior. I really sounded like a teacher didn't I? Lol.
She was put up in a fight against Molly and SHE LITERALLY KICKED HER BUTT! BOOYAHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Accept for the fact that she didn't know when to stop. She kept hitting her and hitting her until Four told her that she won. And the last sentence was that quote, and I got chills. CHILLS.
I felt the same way you did about this chapter. So why do you think Veronica Roth added this part? What do you think was her motivation in adding such a personal thing?
ReplyDeleteI think it was because later on in the book one of her fear landscapes was the fear of being vulnerable. This part in the book contributed to her fear. It kind of hinted at it.
DeleteIn the second paragraph, when you're talking about Tris's anger, and how she practically kills Molly. Tris doesn't feel any remorse for her beating and I was wondering if this scared anyone quite like it did for me. In order to answer Ms. Redmond's question above, I think Veronica put this part in the book in order to foreshadow that even Divergent Tris can be quite ruthless. This shows the similarities between her and Eric, and later realizing similarities with Jeanine also. When even people like Tris get angry, there is no guilt involved in any of the acts they carry out. That's how things get done; people check out from being human and they go on autopilot, whether it's Eric, Jeanine, Tris, or anyone, we are all victims of this one pattern of thinking.
