Chapter 24

"Courageous?  Courageous would have been admitting weakness and leaving Dauntless,     no matter what shame accompanied it.  Pride is what killed Al, and it is the flaw in every Dauntless heart.  It is in mine."

                                                                          -Tris 


Wow. As you can see by this quote, something very big happened in this chapter. Al....committed suicide. He jumped off the chasm. I don't know what was going through his head, I mean, how do you know. But I know one thing that may have driven him to it, and so does Tris. At the end of last chapter she told him to never talk to him again, when he tried to apologize.

I am going to talk about the quote a little early, because I think it fits here. I agree with this quote 100%. I don't see how life would be so awful, that you would want to end it. Life is always changing, and when you hit rock bottom, there is nowhere to go but up.

Funerals are very very different in Dauntless. There is a lot of cheering. Yes I know, cheering. I was confused too. BUT apparently, to the Dauntless, venturing into the unknown it the bravest thing you can do. So yes, there was a lot of cheering. But Tris didn't feel like cheering. All she wanted to do was be alone, so she left.

Later, Four came to find her and they had a little moment. And it was  really cute(: This chapter had a lot of ups and downs, to say the least.
