A part of the book that was displeasing was the ending. Veronica Roth ended the book off with a cliffhanger and she left so many questions unanswered. "Abnegation and Dauntless are both broken, their members scattered. We are like the factionless now." This gives very vague information and doesn't tell a lot about what happened to Tris and Four, or what is going to happen to the Erudite.

A part of the book that surprised me was on page 360 when Tris agreed with Jeanine. This surprised me because Jeanine is the person who has written many things about Tris and her family and by confirming these things to her, she will likely create a new story on the newspaper that confirms her reports.

One thing that surprised me was on page 187 when Tris's mom told her "I can't go visit your brother, but you can, when initian is over. So I want you to go find him and tell him to research the simulation serum." This surprised me because it seems like her mom knows something that we don't and she is hiding something very important. This serum sounds like the factions and the aptitude test is all a lie

Something that surprised me in this few chapters was when Tris took the position of Albert in the knife throwing practice. In my opinion she was very courageous to do this. Most people I know wouldn't dare do this and it is more surprising that she did it for one of the biggest kids there. This shows that Tris is not only brave, but selfless as well which shows her Abnegation side.

On page 15 a shocking part was when Beatrice was not scared of the dog, "My arms are shaking. It barks in my ear, and I clench my teeth to keep from screaming. Something rough and wet touches my cheek. The dog's growling stops, and when I lift my head to look at it again, it is panting. It licked my face." In that situation I would have been terrified so I think she was very brave for doing that.
