Beatrice sits in the cafeteria, waiting to take her aptitude test. She describes the different factions. The Dauntless laugh, shout, and are playing cards (the brave). The Erudite talk to each other about books and newspapers (the intelligent). The Amity are playing a kind of game involving slapping each others hands (the peaceful). The Candor are arguing over some issue (the honest). The Abnegation table sits quietly and waits. When it's Beatrice's turn to take her test, she is beyond nervous still. She follows a Dauntless women to a room with mirrors as its walls. The Dauntless women is kind and has Beatrice drink a vial. Beatrice closes her eyes, opens them again and she is standing in the cafeteria again. She sees a basket containing a knife and cheese. An unknown voice behind her yells at her to choose! A growling dog soon makes its way towards her, ready to attack. Beatrice does not choose the knife or the cheese, she instead carefully lays down in front of the dog! The dog then stops growling and licks Beatrice. A few moments later, a little girl appears. The dog then makes the little girl a target but Beatrice jumps in front of the girl to save her from the wrath of the deadly dog. She falls to the ground, the dog and girl have dissapeared. She is now back in the testing room alone, until she makes her way out the door and finds herself on a bus. A man on the bus holds a newspaper with a murderer on the front page. Beatrice recognizes the murderer. The man asks Beatrice if she recognizes the man, he tells her it could save his life if she did recognize him. Beatrice had a bad feeling about telling the truth, so she said no. I learned a lot more about Beatrice in this chapter, she is witty, sensible, but I can also see the Abnegation in her, I'm not sure which faction she will choose, she seems like she is a little of each!
