Chapter Six

After the ceremony, the dauntless run from the building and Beatrice absolutely loves it. In Abnegation they were taught to be patient and never run because it was practically self-indulging. I believe she will have a much better time in Dauntless than she would ever have in Abnegation.

I thought it was pretty redundant that if the children chose Dauntless, but couldn't jump onto a

moving train that they became factionless. Also, the people in Dauntless are much more accepting of Beatrice's curiosity and they seem more like her.

They reach their destination and have to jump off a moving train to a building and one of the kids.... doesn't make it to the building. Beatrice makes all the jumps and it the first one to complete initiation by jumping off a skyscraper into a tiny hole in the bottom of the street. At that moment they ask Beatrice her name and she decides to rename herself Tris.

 

"Abnegation discourages anything done strictly for my own enjoyment, and that is what this is: my lungs burning, my muscles aching, the fierce pleasure of a flat-out sprint."
