Chapter 31

"I want to be brave, and selfless, and smart, and honest... I continually struggle with kindness."

-Four

 

 

It's over- I'm pretty sure Tris thought it would never end. She is greeted at the door by all the Dauntless leaders, congratulating her on finishing her "final evaluation." If I were her, I don't think I would feel so accomplished. Then Eric injects her with this serum which he says is a tracking device. I was all like, come on. I'm not THAT gullible. This is definitely the simulation serum, I just don't know what it does yet.

 

She then finds Four, and they talk for a while. He asks her about her landscape, and she is confused, because she just assumed that he watched. Obviously he didn't hun. So she talks about it, and they talk for a while, and she very cautiously tells him about her fear involving him and intimacy. I couldn't stop giggling here. Hahahahahahaha.

 

Anyway- Four sees the Band-Aid that Tris put over her Abnegation tattoo and asks her what it is. She tells him, and he says that he has the same one! She tells him to show it to her, which is funny, because she basically asked him to take his shirt off, can you say yum?! He shows her, and she is confused. There is not only a Dauntless and Abnegation symbol, but also a symbol for the other five factions! This is where the quote comes in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I like this quote because I find it very true to the theme of the book. You shouldn't have to choose just one, why not be all five? In the end it will make you a more well-rounded person.
