Chapter 35

"Human beings as a whole cannot be good for long before the bad creeps back in and poisons us again."

-Tris

This chapter was quite the long one. Tris woke up inside the same glass tank that she had been in many times before. The water starts to rise, and for a minute, I think that they are putting her through another fear landscape simulation. Then I realize that they are actually going to kill her- through her own worst fear. These people are low. Very, very, very, low. I feel so bad for her, all the things that she has ever thought deeply about is coming true.

Now, here comes the bravest thing that Tris has ever done. She gave up. Now, giving up might seem like the most cowardly thing to do, but not in this case. She decides that "sometimes it isn't the fighting that was brave, it's facing the death you know is coming." That is the first time in all of my blogs that I have used a quote in the middle of a blog. However, I think that it is necessary. 

And of course- someone always comes to Tris's rescue, but it is usually Four. We all know that Four is under a spell now, so it had to be someone else. It was her mother! I was all like- wow why can't my mom be like that?! So then her mom starts shooting all these guards and she explains how she found Tris. About how she had been looking for her ever since the train came. She also told Tris why the leaders are so scared of Divergents, because they can't be controlled.

Then they start running and trying to find her brother and father, and Tris's mom tells her that she will distract the guards while Tris runs away. I knew something bad was going to happen. I knew it. Of course it was something like Tris's mom dying. She was shot. To death. And Tris had to run away. It's just.. too.. horrible. 

I like this quote because it reminds me of this movie I once watched called Twitches. There was this thing called the darkness coming after them, and no matter what they did, good or bad, it get getting closer and closer, trying to kill them. This is how I refer to evil.
