Chapter IV

This chapter is about character development. We learn what Beatrice's dad does for a living too! We also learn the tension that the government has. Marcus seems like a kind, and nice guy. However, he is taking heat because his son transferred from Abnegation a couple years back.

"Well, really, it was Marcus who had the difficult day. I shouldn't lay claim to it."

Also, Caleb and Beatrice each try to spill the beans on their test results however each warn each other that the results are personal and should be kept to themselves. I understand why its so personal. If you talk with others about the decision, then they will make an impact on your decision. The government wants to keep the decision completely yours and not influenced by others. Beatrice and Caleb each go to bed and think about their decision.
