Chapter 36

     ... So who is the next death? Caleb? Four? Tris? Unfortunately no, it's not Tris. It's Will. So what, right? He's not really a major character? Well, let me give you his death:

       "The man running toward me is not a man, he is a boy. A shaggy haired boy with a crease between his eyebrows. Will. Dull-eyed and mindless, but still Will. He stops running and mirrors me, his feet planted and his gun up. In an instant, I see his finger poised over the trigger and hear the bullet slide into the chamber, and I fire. My eyes squeezed shut. I cant breathe. The bullet hit him in the head. I know because that's where I aimed it."

      Poor Tris right? Nope, let's think about this for a moment. A few chapters ago, she had a perfect shot on Eric, ONE OF THE MAIN ANTAGONISTS. She can't kill Eric, even when he is conscious and intentionally evil. Apparently she can kill one of her best friends when he's hypnotized and has no control of his actions. I get it, the author put her in that situation, it's just a book, etc etc. But the author really needs to keep her characters consistent. It should be no surprise to readers of this blog that I'm no fan of Tris, and one of the main reasons behind that is because she never acts how we think she should. It's almost as if the author wanted to write her two different ways, and instead of making two different characters she just gave her both personalities (Selfless and extremely selfish).

Indecision, wanted dead or alive for the double murder of logic and plot lines

     Tris makes it to the Abnegation hideout and recruits Caleb, her dad, and Marcus (gasp) to go on a raid to the Dauntless compound and stop this mess.
