At the start of the chapter, Tris begins by shooting a gun.
"I squeeze the trigger, hesitantly at first and then harder, cringing away from the gun."
She was off at first, but then she got into the rhythm of hitting the target. In Abnegation, they almost never shot again. In fact, it was Tris's first time shooting a gun. When she described how much pain she felt after she shot the gun, I could feel the pain in my shoulder from when I shot a gun the first time. It was surprising to me how fast she caught on though. To me, shooting a gun is like riding a bike. It is a skill that you will never forget, and for Dauntless, shooting a gun is necessary for survival. Lastly, Tris wanted to get a tattoo of something that would remind her of home. So, she decided to get one of three birds on her collar bone. If I was in Dauntless, I would probably stay away from the tattoos and spend my points on clothing or luxury items.
