One interesting part was when Tris went to see her brother. She had many enjoyable memories with him; he was an important person to her. Tris's brother changed factions to Erudite. She isn't allowed to go but she did. "Beatrice? a voice behind me says. I turn, and Caleb stands behinds me ."(350) This shows that if Tris is willing to break the rules to see her brother than he is an important person to her.

One interesting part is when we figure out that Tris is number one on the ranking list. She does well in the simulation and there is a large gap between number one and two. so Peter the number two ranking gets mad. The last time someone got first they got stabbed in the eye. "My name is in the last slot."(266) She is a big target now because everyone wants to be number one. They will do anything to be number one.

A shocking part was when Tris figured out that her mother was a Dauntless. When Tris finally meets her mother; she was easily able to navigate around the Dauntless area. "My mother was Dauntless."(188) That prove that Tris knows that her mother was Dauntless. How would she be able to move around quickly there of all places. This was shocking to me because a Dauntless personality is way different than an Abnegation.

One surprising part was when Four hits Tris with a knife. Tris takes Al's punishment. She shouldn't flinch but Four was throw knifes over her head. He shouldn't actually hit her because purpose was not to flinch. It wasn't to doge his knife throwing. In the text it said "you did that on purpose! I shouted. Yes, I did, he said quietly."(165) It wasn't by accident but on purpose. Why would Four want to hurt Tris?

A shock part in the book was when Beatrice's brother Caleb picked the faction Erudite. Everyone thought that he was an Abnegation because he showed that he was selfless but he was faking it. In the book it stated " My brother, my selfless brother,a faction transfer? My brother born for Abnegation, Erudite"? Even Beatrice was surprised that he switched faction. She thought that he was born to be a Abnegation.
