Chapter Thirty-six

Two Dauntless soldiers are following Tris, even after her mother drew all that attention. She kills the first one with ease, but then she recognizes the second. Not a man-soldier, but a boy with shaggy hair; her friend Will.  She begins screaming with guilt, as she chooses her life over his and sends a bullet straight through his head. Afterwards she practically collapses and wails with sadness. Sorry that I have to say this, but that is the dumbest thing you could do right now! Your own mom just died in order to save you, and now you're going to risk it by screaming so everyone can hear you!? Dumb. Just, dumb.

Hahaha. If you've ever heard me talk about 'The Hunger Games' movie. This scene I laughed because her sobbing was so ridiculous. You're getting hunted by like 15 other tributes and you're screaming your head off. Yeah. That's smart. 

She makes it to the building and knocks the pattern on the door. Caleb answers and takes her downstairs where she sees her father for the first time since the ceremony. Caleb is back in Abnegation clothes and she asks how he got there. Caleb researched the simulation serum and discovered Jeanines plan for war on Abnegation, so he dropped out of Erudite and is now factionless. But his dad refuses that, he is a part of them still...

They soon remove the bullet from Tris's arm and Tris explains what is really happening to the Dauntless people. She explains that they are in a simulation and that they have no control over their actions. They are just the tools of Abnegation.

Tris meets Marcus, Tobias's father, and explains how they need to wake up the soldiers in order to stop everything. They are going to make a plan to destroy the computers that are controlling everyone. This will stop the war.

"Eric called Al's death brave, and he was wrong. My mother's death was brave. I remember how calm she was, how determined. It isn't just brave that she died for me; it is brave that she did it without announcing it, without hesitation, and without appearing to consider another option."
