Chapter 15

 It's Visiting Day!  On the way to the Pit to see if her parents came, Tris is stopped by Eric.

"I may have underestimated you, Stiff," he says.  "You did well yesterday."  I stare up at him.  If Eric thinks I did something right, I must have done it wrong. 

I love how Tris automatically knows that if Eric thinks she did something right, she probably did something wrong.

When Tris enters the Pit she sees her mom.  However, her dad is no where in sight.  Tris's mom even says that her father has been selfish lately.  I agree with her.  Who wouldn't come to see their own child?

The Erudite have also been busy.  First, they have forbidden any Abnegation into their compound, which means that Caleb isn't going to be getting a visit from his parents, and they have been printing articles on how Abnegation is withholding resources from the other factions.  Cara, Will's older sister, even accuses Natalie (Tris's mom) of it.  It's ridiculous!  Selfless people don't withhold resources from other people!

Tris's mom also has an ulterior motive to coming and seeing Tris.  She wants to know how initiation is going, Tris's aptitude results, and the rankings.  Natalie knows that Tris is Divergent so she gives her some advice.

"Stay in the middle of the pack, no matter what you do.  Don't drw attention to yourself.  Do you understand?"

After their short conversation, Natalie leaves so Tris doesn't seem to attached.  Tris is left with more questions than ever, but she knows one thing.

My mother was Dauntless.
