Tris has been through a lot in this chapter. Two more articles slandering Abnegation came out, and she has to go through the same simulation where she shoots her own family. A bright spot though is the rankings for stage two came out and Tris is ranked first! Peter is ranked second but more than six minutes separate their best time in the simulation. Peter is furious! He slams her against the wall and demands to know how she did beat him. Will saves her from him, but Peter has one more thing to say.
“Are you bling or just stupid? She’s going to edge you out of the rankings and out of Dauntless, and you’re going to get nothing, all because she knows how to manipulate people and you don’t. So when you realize that she’s out to ruin us all, you let me know.”
Just like that, all of her friends are now suspicious of her and Al breaks down. He is not doing well and isn’t having an easy time in Dauntless. I think it’s stupid how her friends think that Tris is manipulating them, and they’re going to let Peter put that idea in their head? How stupid is that!
Tris winds up hanging out with Uriah, Marlene, and Lynne. They meet up with Four and other members when they get caught in a training room shooting a gun. On the way out Four and Tris hang back a bit and Four says something to Tris.
“You belong here, you know that?” he says. “You belong with us. It’ll be over soon, so just hold on , okay?”
If I were Tris I would be, so happy that Four thinks that I’m good enough for Dauntless.
That night, Tris can’t sleep so she starts to walk the halls. She overhears a conversation between Eric and Jeanine Matthews (Erudite leader) about finding Divergents. Before she can hear anymore Peter, Drew, and Al grab her and tie her up and hold her over the railing of the chasm. They kick her, grope her, and Peter chokes her by holding her over the chasm. Luckily, she is able to scream and Four comes to her rescue. He also kicks the attackers butt!
I wish Four would have just thrown Peter into the chasm, then Peter’s reign of terror would end, and honestly no one would miss him. As for Tris, she can’t catch a break. I would have been so scared and not being able to save myself would be the worst. But one good thing that came out of being attacked was being saved by Four. I also can’t believe that Al would do something like that! I thought he was all about protecting people but he is really just as bad as Peter.
