Chapter 30

 "The first time I felt powerful in the Dauntless compound was when I was holding a gun."

-Tris

 

This was a long one, but I will try to hold your attention by just explaining each of her fears, because that's really what the chapter was all about.

 

Fear 1- The same as the last time. Crows. However, she knew how to handle this one- as she had been faced with it before. She quickly created a gun in her mind and magically, there one was!

 

Fear 2- Also the same. She was trapped in a glass box and it was quickly filling with water. She agin knows what to do, and she breaks the box.

 

Fear 3- We haven't discovered this one yet. She was in a fast flowing river that was trying to drown her, and she was holding onto a rock, and that was all. This is where she really figured out what her fear was. It wasn't water, it was losing control. Again, I'm pretty sure her and I are twins because that's mine too! She quickly gained control through mind over matter.

 

Fear 4- Being burned alive. Not only that, but Peter was in this one. He was the one burning her alive! Jerk. She realizes this is all in her head, and she tells it to rain. Of course, it starts pouring, put the fire out!

 

Fear 5- This is the kidnapping one. She is being taken from her home, by men she doesn't know. Not just that, but they are also faceless. Yes, faceless. As in, they had no faces. She starts freaking out, as anyone would in that situation, but soon regains herself only to find herself in a different fear.

 

Fear 6- Intimacy. Yes, intimacy. But guess who she's being intimate with?! Four(: Haha she doesn't find it that amusing though, as she has a hard time being vulnerable. Me too, Tris, me too. She tells him "No. Not like this."

 

Fear 7- This is the worst. She is standing with a gun by her side and her family standing in front of her and Jeanine whispering in her ear. Jeanine gives her 10 seconds to shoot her family, but Tris ca't do it. She ends up shooting herself. Was this brave or stupid? When Al committed suicide they called it brave. But here- I don't know.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I like this quote because guns are one of the most powerful weapons in the world, and people need to recognize the kind of damage they can do.
