Tobias doesn’t shoot and Tris continues to talk to him and
he finally comes out of it when she gives him a hug. I'm glad Tris woke Tobias up. In the future, he might be a valuable addition to the team! Tris is elated she broke the simulation and
asks Tobias how he did it. He replies
that he simply heard her voice. I can't believe it was that simple. I thought it would be like waking up from a nightmare or something like that. The time
to celebrate is short as they realize they need to end the simulation that
drives the soldiers. Tris looks at one
of the screens where she sees her brother and the others being surrounded by
Dauntless and anxiously tells Tobias they need to end it. Tobias finally finishes some commands and
Tris sees the Dauntless stopping and dropping their arms immediately. Tobias
removes the hard drive as Tris watches how the outside world is becoming
chaotic as no one is sure what is going on.
Tris says they need to go immediately and run back past to where her
father’s body lies. She gets sick and
then realizes she has to pull herself together and continue. This would be the worst. I could not see my parents in that condition. They leave the building and Tris sees her brother
again. She has to deliver the bad news
about their father and at the same time, she sees Tobias as he faces his
father, Marcus. Tris confronts Marcus immediately as he is hugging Tobias,
telling him to get away. The others are confused, but Tris tells Marcus,
“The only reason I haven’t shot you yet is because he’s the
one who should get to do it,” I say.
“Stay away from him or I’ll decide I no longer care.”
The group quickly determines it needs to flee and moves to
the train as Tris apologizes to Tobias for her actions with Marcus. He tells her she has nothing to apologize for
and is still shaken by the encounter. The train will take them toward Amity and
although Tris feels safe with Tobias, she is still unsure about having Marcus
and Peter with them. As they wait for the train, she reflects upon the fate of
her friends and the sadness of losing her family. Tobias and Tris share what has happened in
the last hours and Tobias reveals he may be in love with her. Tris takes the hard drive out of her pocket
and sees that Marcus has been watching her, which makes her realize she’s not
quite safe yet. The factions of
Dauntless and Abnegation are now scattered and without any organization. Tris feels even stronger now that she must
become both selfless and brave in her new world. This novel was excellent.
