Chapter 11

Christina wakes Tris up in the morning, sore and tired, Tris is patched with bruises. Christina gets her breakfast and helps her tie her shoes, what a good friend... I think they all need someone to talk about initiation and their worries, they no longer have their family so I believe that everyone always needs someone to be there for them, or else they will explode! They reach the train tracks (going on a field trip) and jump on with pain. They pass " a sea of crumbling, abandoned buildings." Chrisitna asks Tris what she thinks is "out there." She means past the farms, what they are guarding the city from. This imediately reminded me of Hunger games, what is outside of the Hunger game's districts'? Everyone wants to know what these futuristic books mean by their community's being seperated from some other land!

 They didn't have guards guarding the fence until five years ago. Getting off the train, they observe the chain linked fence with barbed wire at the top. They follow Four into the gate, he tells them that if they don't rank in the top five by the end of initiation, you will probably end up here, a fence guard. That job would be terrible,

   This would be you for the rest of your Dauntless life! Peter asks Four what rank he is, Four tells them first. He then asks why he didn't choose a government job and Four says, because he didn't want one. Some jobs Dauntless can choose consist of: guarding the fence, working for the security of the city, working in the Dauntless compound drawing tattoos or making weapons or even fighting for entertainment, working as a Dauntless leader. Entering the gate, Tris spots some Amity, one of them is Robert. They talk a little about their new homes. Four then tells her to not talk to the other factions. He also gives her some advice about her fighting, but she asks him why he left her only fight. He replies, "It wasn't something I wanted to watch." I think by this he means that the fight was pathetic, I think he is trying to motivate Tris, there has to be something inside of her ready to get out and fight, she has a lot of heart, she just has to build up her strength and skills.
