Divergent discussion

What did you think of Al?

I HATED Al. Some people say that I'm so cruel to say that, but he was such a wimp and I guess I just hate boys who try to get in the way of the good romance (Tris & Four, hello!)

I liked Al but i understand what you are saying. But i was soooooo sad when he died!!!

I could care less about Al. Sorry this might sound kinda mean but it's true. I can just imagine him in my mind curling up into a ball and crawl to a corner to cry.

i didn't feel bad for him when he died.

I didn't feel bad for him but I felt bad for tris

I felt bad for Tris in a way but not really cause he was so obnoxious to her

Yah I felt bad cuz of what she said to him before he died

Well yeah i guess u guys r right but still i can't help not liking him because he annoyed me so much throughout the entire book (well before he died)

yeah exactly!

I reaaaally loved Al. he was such a wimp, so I guess I have a soft spot for people who are really afraid to do scary and stupid things, but I reallly thought that he shouldn't have thrown himself off the chasm. he didn't love Tris THAT much, did he?

no, but he didn't have to throw himself over the edge of a cliff to get her attention.

yeah, and I would feel bad if the love of my life said, "you know what? I really just realized that i never liked you in the first place, so, get away from me. See you later!" But less harsh. anyways, but i wouldn't feel THAT bad as to go and throw myself off a cliff.

oooh. Ouch. Hurts me deep. Although that's probably true. But I would have gotten into amity,so it's all ok!

Well I don't think he jumped just because of what Tris said, I think that he knew he wasn't gonna fit in with the dauntless so he thought that being dead is better then factionless, so when tris didn't forgive him, that just made him feel that there is nothing left to live for

hey, i never thought about that! but that totally made sense! Thank you for enlightening me!

haha your welcome
